Dua Lipa announces UK & Ireland arena tour for 2018

She's got new venues, we'll count 'em - Dua Lipa has announced her very first arena tour of the UK & Ireland.

The New Rules singer is currently promoting her former UK Number 1 single around the world, but will return to her home shores for a six date arena jaunt next year, kicking off in Dublin on April 10. She will then visit Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham, and Cardiff before headlining a show at Alexandra Palace in London on April 20. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, September 29.

The tour comes hot on the heels of New Rules' success. The song made the BRITs Critics' Choice nominee the first woman to score a Number 1 single as a lead artist in nearly two years, and has also peaked at Number 1 in Ireland, The Netherlands and Belgium.

Fans don't have to wait until 2018 to see Dua live either; her self-titled tour kicks off on October 5 in Brighton and will feature seven UK live performances. She has also been supporting Bruno Mars and Coldplay across the globe on their respective tours in the last few weeks.

New Rules was the sixth single taken from Dua's self-titled debut album, which peaked at Number 5 on the Official Albums Chart. Her label boss has said that at least another two singles will be released from the LP, and you can have your say on what songs should become official singles in our poll.
