Dua Lipa turns sold-out Mexico City shows into a new live album and concert film

British pop superstar Dua Lipa announced the release of “Dua Lipa (Live From Mexico),” a concert film and live album recorded during her three sold-out concerts at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City last December, as part of the closing of her Radical Optimism Tour world tour.

Through her social media channels, the singer revealed that the feature film will premiere May 21 at 11 a.m. Mexican Central time on her official YouTube channel.

Lipa shared that now she and her fans “can enjoy these shows forever and ever and ever.”

“This tour has been the most beautiful and rewarding experience of my career so far,” Dua Lipa says in the film’s trailer. “Mexico City, I love you, I love you, I love you,” she says.

Memorable moments during her Mexico City tour included Dua Lipa’s live performance of classic Mexican songs like “Bésame Mucho” and “Oye Mi Amor,” which she performed alongside Fher Olvera, lead vocalist of the Grammy-winning Mexican pop band Maná. 

Lipa’s love for Mexico City has been evident throughout her career. In her newsletter Service 95, the singer called Mexico City one of her “favorite places in the world” and recommended some of her favorite destinations in the capital.

In a special tribute to Mexican fans, her production team even opened a pop-up taco shop dubbed Taquería La Dua during her December concert series in Mexico City. Diners enjoyed Dua Lipa-themed tacos before or after the show, turning the concert into a broader cultural moment within the artist’s universe.

In the upcoming film, fans will enjoy the live performance of a variety of songs from her 2024 album, Radical Optimism, as well as some of her older, fan-favorite hits, including “One Kiss” and “New Rules.”

Overall, the film will feature 21 songs from the three concerts.
