Dua Lipa Captivates L.A. Crowd with Radical Optimism Tour

On October 7th, 2025, Dua Lipa brought her Radical Optimism tour to the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, for the second of four sold-out shows at the venue. The 30-year-old pop star's performance was a flashy, sparkling, and downright extraordinary affair, showcasing her impressive talent and captivating the diverse crowd of loyal supporters.

Lipa proved she is at the top of her game, delivering a set that included both pop radio hits and mellow B-sides. Taking full advantage of the grand stage setup, she managed to make the arena feel like an intimate show, engaging the audience with her nonstop energy and theatrical elements. The crowd, ranging from young girls with their parents to 20-and-30-something friend groups to middle-aged couples, was hanging on Lipa's every note, dancing and singing along to fan favorites like "Physical" and "Levitating."

One of the highlights of the night was when Lipa took to the barricade of the general admission floor, stopping to interact with fans, some of whom were brought to tears by the experience. The singer's clever use of the two-level main stage and circular B-stage kept the audience engaged throughout the show, with seamless transitions and eye-catching costume changes.
