Dua Lipa has announced she will perform her biggest ever gig to 90K fans at Wembley Stadium on 20 June 2025, following in the footsteps of Taylor Swift who sold out the venue last month as part of her Eras tour.

The English-Albanian star, 29, who wowed fans with her Glastonbury performance on Friday, said in a statement that she was ‘still flying high’ after the set and decided it was now the perfect opportunity to announce her show at the iconic London venue.

Saying: ‘There couldn’t be a better time to share this with you all! I am still flying high from the magic of headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury this weekend,’ 

‘And I am absolutely thrilled to announce I’ll be playing Wembley Stadium this time next year’ 

A source told The Sun: ‘Her last tour was as good as sold out, but it was an arena tour, to make the jump to stadiums is amazing, especially when she’s only on her third album’.

The source said it will be an emotional moment for the pop star as it will show the work she has been doing since moving to London from Kosovo at the age of 15 has paid off. 

Meanwhile Gareth Griffiths, Director, Partnerships and Sponsorship at Virgin Media O2, said: ‘This collaboration between Dua Lipa and O2 perfectly captures the essence of Priority and is great news for her fans and our customers who want to get their hands on Wembley tickets 48-hours before general release.

After her ‘magical’ set on the Pyramid Stage, Dua hosted a private backstage bash where she thanked her ‘inner circle’ and wished her mum a happy birthday.

But after the intimate celebrations, Dua headed to gay club NYC Download in Block9 of the festival – where she partied until 4am.

And in pictures obtained by The Sun, Dua and Callum showed how smitten they are as they passionately snogged on the dancefloor. 

The nightclub – who were not aware that Dua would be attending – is famed for its debauchery. It features go go dancers in jock straps and a dark room for X-rated antics. 

Dua and Callum kept a low profile as they sneaked in before being taken to their own private area. 

But it was not a tame night, as the New Rules hitmaker stayed out until the early hours drinking vodka and tonics and smoking cigarettes.

A source told the publication: ‘Dua and Callum couldn’t stop smiling and they were hugging and kissing the whole time they were there. He so was telling her how proud he is of her and she looked smitten. 

‘At one point Calum produced a new bottle of Belvedere vodka and started free pouring vodka and tonics for Dua.’

Then on Saturday, the couple emerged late morning after their heavy night and relaxed in the VIP area.

Dua puffed on a cigarette while Callum wrapped his arms tightly around her as she relaxed.

After headlining the Pyramid Stage on Friday night, Dua enjoyed some well-needed downtime with the actor at the star-studded festival.

The Houdini hitmaker cosied next to her love after her show divided fans with claims of sound woes and false miming accusations.

Dua, who dropped the F-bomb during her performance, showed off her jaw-dropping figure in a white strappy top and tiny denim shorts.

Proving their six-month relationship is going stronger than ever, the smitten couple looked more than loved-up as they chilled at day four of the festival. 

The English-Albanian singer went through a medley of hits and performed several acrobatic dance routines in a leather studded bodysuit as she was cheered on by thousands at Worthy Farm. 

Tickets will go on sale at 10am Friday July 12, while O2 customers can get early access via the Priority app from 10am Wednesday, July 10 – 48 hours before general release.
