Australian pop singer-songwriter Kita Alexander has been confirmed as the support act for Dua Lipa’s upcoming Australia and New Zealand tour.
“Touring with Dua is something that has been on my mind for a very long time,” says Alexander. “She delivers pure energy on stage and next-level pop performances. March and April is going to be such a party. I truly feel so lucky to have the opportunity to share my songs with fans, old and new, across Australia and New Zealand.”
The tour kicks off at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on March 20, before heading to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on March 26, and wrapping up at Auckland’s Spark Arena on April 2.

Lipa returns to Australian stages after her massive Future Nostalgia tour, which saw sold-out shows nationwide. Fans can expect a setlist packed with tracks from her critically acclaimed third album, Radical Optimism—including recent hits “Houdini”, “Training Session”, and “Illusion.”
The album debuted at #1 in 11 countries and became her third ARIA top 10 album. Her self-titled debut, Dua Lipa, peaked at #8 in 2017, while Future Nostalgia topped the charts, spending three non-consecutive weeks at #1 across 2020, 2021, and 2022. Lipa also scored Billboard’s No. 1 Hot 100 Song of 2021 with “Levitating.”
Meanwhile, Kita Alexander is keeping busy—teasing her new single “Press Pause”, set for release at 6:30 pm (local time) on Thursday, March 6th.
“‘Press Pause’ is about the quiet power of being present for someone when their world feels like it’s falling apart,” Alexander shares. “It’s not about fixing things or promising it’ll all be okay — it’s about holding space, staying still, and letting them know they’re not alone in the chaos.”
Beyond the tour, Alexander recently signed with live agency One Fiinix (home to Ed Sheeran, Olly Alexander, and Tash Sultana) for UK and European bookings. She’s also set to play The Great Escape (UK) at The Fabrica, Brighton on Friday, May 16, followed by a headline show at The Camden Assembly, London on Tuesday, May 20.
