One week after kicking off the first of three pre-tour shows, Dua Lipa returned to Austin City Limits in Austin, Texas on Saturday, October 12.

By the time she hit the stage for her headlining performance, the Houdini hitmaker was all fired up and dressed to impress in very stylish burgundy shorts and crop top combination, along with a pair of black leather, knee-high boots.

The London, England native, 29, had a number of added touches she accessorized with including fishnet stockings, necklace, and a double black belt.

Rounding out her look, the singer-songwriter had her red-tinted tresses flowing long down past the middle of her back with a center part.

Following the show Lipa will head back to her native England and get ready for the third warmup concert in Robert Albert Hall in London on Thursday, October 17.

The Albanian star will then head to Cleveland, Ohio where she will take part in the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony on Saturday, October 19.

From there she will fly to Singapore for the first official date of her Radical Optimism Tour at Singapore Indoor Stadium on November 5 and 6.

She will also make stops in Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, India, and South Korea, until December 5.

After a two-month-plus break from the road Lipa returns to the stage in Melbourne, Australia on March 17, and proceed to play several show there and Sydney before moving on to Aukland, New Zealand through April 4.

A short break lead to the European leg starting in Madrid, Spain on May 11, which will take her to various countries including France, Germany, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, UK, and Ireland until June 27.

Once September 2025 rolls around she will kick off her tour of North America in Toronto, Canada, which will take her to the U.S. four days later in Chicago.

The tour will go through until October 16, 2025 ending with a couples of gigs in Seattle, Washington. 

The tour is in support of her third studio album, Radical Optimism, which dropped back in early May, featuring the singles Houdini, Training Session, and Illusion, all of which peaked within the top ten of the UK Singles Chart.

Texas heat feels like death, no doubt about it. Nevertheless, us die-hard music aficionados bear the sun’s burden to celebrate our favorite performers at Austin City Limits Music Festival. To avoid a dreaded visit to the medical tent, here are five helpful tips to stay cool during your conquest of the outdoor music communion.

1. A good ole’ fashion reusable water bottle to refill at water stations

It’s imperative to stay hydrated lest you pass out after baking in the sun. Come to the festival with a reusable water bottle. You can’t bring liquids inside, so we recommend chugging your bottle while you wait in line. Once you make it past the gates, head for the water stations around the park to fill your bottle with ample water and refill between sets when trekking to your next stage. A good ole’ fashion water bottle is indispensable at times like this.

2. Stay vibey with Liquid IV or other hydration packets

Thank god for technological innovation. The automobile. The cotton gin. Magic hydration powders choc full of electrolytes and vitamins. While powders like Liquid IV are essential to ease hardcore hangovers, that doesn’t mean you can’t pregame these Kool-Aid counterparts as well. Downing this supplement before you go out drinking and throughout the day will give your body an extra boost of hydration to curb looming alcohol withdrawal and prevent a bad dehydration headache. Even if you don’t plan to drink alcohol the packets are helpful for rapid hydration. Single use sealed hydration packets are allowed in the park.

3. Be a savvy fan with a handheld fan

Standing in the heat is brutal, but having a fan of some kind is essential for long wait times. Luckily, ACL plants huge industrial fans in front of their stages for fans camping out at the barricade, but for those farther back in the crowd a personal paper or electric fan is clutch to keep cool. An accordion paper fan can shade your face from the sun, while electric fans are easy to hold near you face for a steady airstream. Just be mindful of how close you hold it so the blades don’t get tangled in your hair. It’s happened to me!

4. Don’t go bananas, bring some water-soaked bandanas

Bandanas are a must have to survive Zilker’s dusty conditions, but soaking one in some water and slapping it on the back of your neck offers instant relief to skin that’s getting a beating from the sun. Placing a cool bandana on your pressure points (i.e. neck, inner elbows, back of knees) will quickly lower your body temp in a pinch. At some midday sets, the ACL staff will even hand out water-soaked bandanas to folks standing at the barricade wilting in the heat. When you go refill your water bottle, douse your bandana too for that extra boost of cool relief.

5. Skip stage view, opt for shady vantage points

We all want to get front and center for our favorite performer, but sometimes we need to weigh our options: get borderline heat stroke waiting for hours to score a plush spot for a headliner, or watch from a shady grove with some handy binoculars. In the afternoon, when the sun is at its peak, I would opt for the latter. Of course, you won’t get the detailed videos of your onstage fave, but you will definitely be thankful when that cool breeze hits under the shady tree that has turned Tartarus into a bearable garden oasis.
