Pop superstar Dua Lipa reaches a new milestone this week as she celebrates her 30th birthday on August 22, right in the middle of her sold-out Radical Optimism Tour.
The international tour has taken the British-Albanian singer across Europe, Asia, and the Americas and fans have been treated to a unique twist at each stop. So far, she has been performing iconic songs from the countries she visits.
Those special covers have included âGet Luckyâ by Daft Punk in France, âCanât Get You Out of My Headâ by Kylie Minogue in Australia, âMe Gustas TĂșâ by Manu Chao in Spain, and âMoi… Lolitaâ by AlizĂ©e during another French stop. The personal touch has quickly become one of the tourâs most talked-about highlights, adding a sense of intimacy to a massive production.
Lipa first broke through with her self-titled debut album in 2017, but it was her 2020 release Future Nostalgia that catapulted her into global superstardom. The record produced a string of streaming giants, including âDonât Start Now,â âPhysicalâ and âLevitating,â which became one of the longest-charting Billboard Hot 100 hits of the decade.

Along the way, she has collaborated with major names such as Calvin Harris, Elton John, and Silk City, while also making her Hollywood debut. She appeared as Mermaid Barbie in Greta Gerwigâs blockbuster Barbie (2023) and played the glamorous LaGrange in Matthew Vaughnâs Argylle (2024).
According to The Sunday Times Rich List, Dua Lipa has amassed a fortune of around $156 million, making her one of the wealthiest artists under 30. That figure is set to climb as her latest singles âHoudiniâ and âTraining Seasonâ dominate charts worldwide.
With her tour selling out arenas across continents and her 30th birthday marking a symbolic new chapter, Dua Lipa is showing no signs of slowing down. For fans, the Radical Optimism era is proving to be her most ambitious yet.
