No it’s not an illusion, Dua Lipa is indeed starting the 2025 leg of her world tour right here in Melbourne. With three Grammys, seven Brits and some serious dance training under her belt, we can’t wait to see Dua give us everything Down Under. Her Radical Optimism Tour will hit Rod Laver Area for five (yes, really!) massive shows and if you don't have tickets already, don't start now – they're already gone.
March 2025: If you thought the Aussie music festival scene was dead, take a look at the line-up for March. From Pitch and Golden Plains to Port Fairy Folk Festival, there's something to suit everyone's musical tastes. Legendary DJ and producer Fatboy Slim will be bringing his 'eat, sleep, rave, repeat' mantra to Geelong, and there's a free gig series happening at Fed Square featuring the likes of Peach PRC and Wax'o Paradiso.
Plus, the pop girlies continue their dominance with Billie Eilish and Dua Lipa both performing multiple sell-out shows across the month.
