Seattle, WA — On October 15 and 16, 2025, at the Climate Pledge Arena, Dua Lipa brought down the curtain on the U.S. segment of her Radical Optimism Tour in style, leaving fans electrified after nights filled with special guest appearances, soaring vocals, and celebratory energy.

The Seattle shows capped off the North American leg of the tour, first launched in Toronto in September 2025.  Over the course of the tour, Lipa wowed crowds across major cities like New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago, delivering high-octane performances that blended pop, disco, and electronic influences. 

A Memorable Finale with Brandi Carlile

In Seattle, Lipa continued her tradition of spotlighting local talent on stage. For the final night, she welcomed Brandi Carlile, a native of Washington state, to join her for the emotionally charged duet of Carlile’s song “The Story.” The moment underscored the spirit of connection the tour aimed to foster.

The setlist across both nights in Seattle showcased a dynamic mix of her latest tracks from Radical Optimism, including Training Season, Houdini, Hallucinate, and Love Again, combined with fan favorites such as Levitating, New Rules, and Don’t Start Now.  The show also adhered to a hallmark of the tour: a surprise cover of a local artist — in this case, Carlile’s own music.

Critical Acclaim & Tour Highlights

From reviews and press recaps, the Radical Optimism Tour has been heralded as a standout achievement. Critics lauded her powerful vocals, the carefully choreographed staging, and her capacity to shift between genres without losing momentum.  Her performances have also been praised for balancing spectacle and emotional resonance. 

Another highlight: in San Francisco, she brought out Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day to perform “Wake Me Up When September Ends”.  In other cities, she’s shared the stage with luminaries like Gwen Stefani, Nile Rodgers, and Lenny Kravitz, fueling buzz and surprise across tour stops. 

Tour Numbers & Legacy

The Radical Optimism Tour is Dua Lipa’s third major headlining outing and marks a major milestone in her career. The tour spans 81 shows across Asia, Oceania, Europe, North America, and Latin America.  With gross earnings estimated at over USD 112.3 million, the tour solidified her reputation as one of pop’s most reliable live performers.

As she transitions into the Latin American leg of the tour (scheduled to conclude in December 2025 in Mexico City), the Seattle finale will be remembered as a triumphant close to an ambitious U.S. chapter.
