GLOBAL pop superstar Dua Lipa will play dates in Leeds and Manchester as part of her upcoming tour.
Her next album Future Nostalgia is due for release in 2020 and the accompanying 2020 European arena tour will kick off in Madrid in April and hit 22 cities across the UK and Europe.
She'll play Manchester Arena on June 1, then the First Direct Arena in Leeds on June 4.
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday 6th December at 9am.
The lead track from the album - Don’t Start Now - is already a massive hit worldwide with more than 170 million streams to date.
She said: "What I wanted to do with this album was to break out of my comfort zone and challenge myself to make music that felt like it could sit alongside some of my favourite classic pop songs, whilst still feeling fresh and uniquely mine.
"I was inspired by so many artists on the new record from Gwen Stefani to Madonna to Moloko to Blondie and Outkast, to name just a few.
“Because of the time that I’d spent on the road touring with my band I wanted Future Nostalgia to have a lot more of a live element, but mixed together with modern electronic production.
"My sound has naturally matured a bit as I’ve grown up but I wanted to keep the same pop sensibility as I had on the first record.
"I remember that I was on my way to a radio show in Las Vegas thinking about the direction for this new record and I realised that what I wanted to make was something that felt nostalgic but had something fresh and futuristic about it too.”
