Dua Lipa has angered a number of her Australian fans after snubbing two major Australian cities on her upcoming Radical Optimism 2025 world tour.
Live Nation announced that the 29-year-old pop star will perform Down Under, Melbourne and Sydney on Friday morning.
Several fans took to the comments section of the announcement to question why the three-time Grammy Award winner left out Brisbane and Perth and only scheduled two dates in Australia.
“Perth has disappeared from the Australian map,” one person wrote, while another said: “Why is Brisbane always left off?”
A third added: Because F Perth, am I right?
Queensland fans were particularly angry at the snub as Brisbane is often included in international stars’ tours Down Under.
“Where is Brisbane?” some users said, while others commented, “Is Brisbane also getting a place?” and “Can you please tell me why Brisbane isn’t there?”
Others wrote: ‘Just 2 dates is a crazy amount of work.’

“Is there any chance the rest of Australia will get appointments?” added another.
Dua will kick off her Radical Optimism 2025 world tour in Melbourne on March 20 at Rod Laver Arena before performing at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on March 26.
They are the only Australian dates included in her massive world tour so far, as she will next play in New Zealand on April 2 before flying halfway around the world.
However, Dua has assured her fans around the world that more tour dates will be announced soon and Australian fans are hoping she will extend her stay here.
Pre-sale of tickets for American Express and Dua will open on Wednesday, September 18 at 11 a.m. and Thursday, September 19 at 12 p.m. respectively.

Dua will celebrate her latest album Radical Optimism during her upcoming world tour, which will also see her perform across Europe, the UK and the US.
The pop powerhouse continues to go from strength to strength as her tour follows her Pyramid Stage headlining debut at Glastonbury Festival 2024 in June.
After wowing the crowd, the BBC praised her performance: “Dua hit her mark with the precision of someone who had been preparing for this moment for years.”
Following her electric Glastonbury show, Dua immediately sold out two consecutive nights at London’s iconic Wembley Stadium, scheduled for June 2025.
