Dua Lipa has reportedly enlisted Raye and Charli XCX as support acts for her Wembley Stadium shows
The 29-year-old pop star will take to the stage for two nights at the iconic London venue on June 20 and 21 as part of her Radical Optimism tour and is said to have signed up her fellow multi-BRIT Award-winners to play those dates.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “These two Wembley shows are monumental for Dua and she wants to give her fans an extra treat.
“Her team has approached Raye to open Friday’s show, while Charli is in talks to perform on Saturday.
“Dua, Raye and Charli are all super supportive of each other and it would be amazing to have these three British female powerhouses playing Wembley.
Both Raye and Charli XCX will also be performing at Glastonbury just days after Dua’s Wembley shows have taken place, and the source insisted that the slots will act as the “perfect warm-up” for them both.
The insider added: “With Glastonbury the week after, this is the perfect warm-up for Raye and Charli too as they’ll be playing to almost 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
“The deals are still being thrashed out but fans off to see Dua should expect to see these two on the stage.”
Dua headlined the UK’s famous Glastonbury Festival this summer and went on to announce her shows at London’s Wembley Stadium for 2025.
She said in a statement: “There couldn’t be a better time to share this with you all! I am still flying high from the magic of headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury this weekend, and I am absolutely thrilled to announce I’ll be playing Wembley Stadium this time next year.”
A source later added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Dua still can’t believe she gets to headline Wembley Stadium.
“She wants to make it feel like a giant disco and make sure everyone has the best seat in the house.
“Walking through the crowd during one of her songs allows her to feel intimate with her fans while performing to 80,000 of them.”
