Background
On 2 December 2019, Lipa formally announced the Future Nostalgia tour, with 24 shows across the UK and Europe from April to June of the following year. Tickets went on sale four days later.[1][2] Several tiers of VIP tickets were also offered, including ones that included meet and greets with the singer and one where fans could battle Lipa in a game of Dance Dance Revolution.[3] The album's title track was released in conjunction with the tour announcement.[4] On 13 January 2020, Lipa announced British DJ Buck Betty and American singer Lolo Zouaï as supporting acts for the tour.[5] On 21 February 2020, the singer announced two new UK shows in Liverpool and Nottingham, with tickets for those dates going on sale a week later.[6] On 23 March 2020, Lipa announced that she had been forced to postpone the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic; she also revealed that she was planning tour dates for the rest of the world.[7] Rescheduled tour dates for January and February 2021 were announced the following day with Betty and Zouaï still scheduled as supporting acts.[8] Shows in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Oslo were cancelled due to the inability to be rescheduled and the Vienna and Munich shows were still attempting to be rescheduled at that time, but not formally cancelled. Tickets for the original shows remained valid and tickets for the cancelled shows were refunded.[9]
The tour was postponed for a second time to September and October 2021 on 23 October 2020 with it being unconfirmed if Betty and Zouaï would still support her.[10] Following this, Lipa announced a livestream concert titled Studio 2054, which was developed after she was unable to tour for her album.[11] After the concert on 27 November 2020, ticket sales for the tour increased by 70 percent.[12] On 28 June 2021, the tour was rescheduled for a third time to April, May and June of 2022.[13] With this postponement, several new shows across Europe were announced along with the rescheduled Vienna and Munich shows; tickets went on sale that week.[14] Lipa announced North American shows for February, March and April 2022 on 13 September 2021, with Megan Thee Stallion, Caroline Polachek and Zouaï as supporting acts.[15] Tickets went on sale four days later, with several VIP upgrade packages available.[16][17] A second show in Los Angeles was announced on 17 September due to popular demand with tickets for that show going on sale a week later.[18] The November 2022 Oceania leg of the tour was announced on 19 September 2021, with tickets going on sale four days later; a pre-sale occurred in the 24 hours prior.[19][20] Extra dates in Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne were announced on 25 September 2021 after several shows sold out very fast; tickets for those shows went on sale three days later.[21] On 22 November 2021, Lipa announced four new European dates in Lithuania and Scandinavia; tickets for these shows will go on sale four days later. Also with this announcement, Angèle, Griff and Tove Lo were announced as the new opening acts.[22] The tour will be produced by Ceremony London, promoted by Live Nation and sponsored by Truly Hard Seltzer.[23]
I'm so thrilled to tour again and see my angels in person! How amazing that we all get to dance and celebrate together once again. When I was writing Future Nostalgia, I imagined the songs being played in clubs on nights out with your mates. I'm so excited that this fantasy is finally coming true. I can't wait to experience these songs with you together live!
