Dua Lipa will open a four-night residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Wednesday, Sept. 17, the pop star’s team confirmed. The residency, part of her ongoing "Radical Optimism Tour," runs through Sunday, Sept. 21 and includes performances on Sept. 18, Sept. 20 and Sept. 21, each with a 7:30 p.m. start time.
At the time of publication, the lowest last-minute price found for any of the four shows on the secondary market was $112 including fees on Vivid Seats for the Sept. 18 concert. The New York Post reported that other dates had seats starting at $121 for Sept. 17, $144 for Sept. 20 and $123 for Sept. 21, all amounts reflecting the checked fees at publication and subject to fluctuation.
Tickets for the Garden engagement are available on resale platforms, where prices may be higher or lower than face value depending on demand. Vivid Seats, the platform where the lowest fares were found, describes itself as a verified secondary-market ticketing site and advertises a 100 percent buyer guarantee that promises secure transactions and delivery of tickets prior to the event.
The MSG shows follow the tour’s North American kickoff in Toronto on Sept. 1, where Lipa performed a 22-song set spanning four acts and an encore, according to Set List FM. The Toronto program began with the title track "Training Season" and included singles such as "Break My Heart," "Levitating," "Be the One," "Don’t Start Now" and "New Rules." Reviewers noted the inclusion of a surprise cover — in Toronto she performed Nelly Furtado’s "I’m Like a Bird" — and theatrical production elements, including a moment described as a ring of flames on stage.
The songs performed in Toronto reflected material from Lipa’s third studio album, "Radical Optimism," which was released May 3, 2024. The 11-track record features the singles "Houdini" and the title track "Training Season," among other dance-focused songs. Lipa also released a single in March 2025, "Handelbars," a collaboration with K-pop star Jennie.
After the Madison Square Garden residency, the Radical Optimism Tour continues with additional North American dates. The singer is scheduled to play two nights at Miami’s Kaseya Center on Sept. 26–27, two nights at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, four nights at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles from Oct. 4–8, two nights at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Oct. 11–12 and two nights at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on Oct. 15–16, according to the tour calendar.
Concertgoers should expect set lists and production elements to vary from show to show; Lipa has made surprise covers a recurring feature of her performances on this tour, drawing from a range of artists including Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, TLC, Outkast and Aerosmith on previous nights. Prices on secondary market platforms can change quickly, and publications caution that figures quoted at a given time may not reflect current availability or checkout fees.
The Madison Square Garden run offers New York-area fans an opportunity to see a headline pop act in one of the city’s premier arenas, with availability and prices reflecting last-minute demand on resale sites. Buyers are advised to confirm final total costs and delivery guarantees with ticketing platforms before completing purchases.
