Dua Lipa releases free concert movie on YouTube

Dua Lipa put a full concert film on YouTube on May 21, giving fans free access to “Dua Lipa (Live From Mexico)” on her official channel. The release was tied to the end of the singer’s “Radical Optimism” touring cycle and arrived one day before the companion live album hit streaming services on May 22. Official listings on Lipa’s YouTube channel described the film as a recording of the finale of the global tour at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros. Entertainment outlets including Variety and Rolling Stone had previewed the release the week before, saying the film would premiere on YouTube on May 21. ### What exactly did Dua Lipa release? “YouTube” was the distribution platform for the concert film, according to Lipa’s official channel page, which listed “Live From Mexico” as “a brand new live album and concert film” and said it launched on May 21 at 6:00 p.m. BST. The same page linked fans to pre-save and order the related live album and credited Paul Dugdale as director, with Dua Lipa and Dukagjin “Dugi” Lipa listed as executive producers. (youtube.com) “Dua Lipa (Live From Mexico)” was announced as both a film and album package, rather than a one-off upload. Variety reported on May 14 that the film would premiere on Lipa’s YouTube channel on May 21 at 10 a.m. PT, while the live album would follow on May 22. Rolling Stone reported the same schedule. ### Why was Mexico City the setting?

Variety said the project was recorded across three shows at Estadio GNP Seguros, and described those dates as the conclusion of the tour. Variety reported that the 92-date tour spanned five continents and sold more than 1.75 million tickets.
