Dua Lipa has celebrated the fifth anniversary of her acclaimed album Future Nostalgia by releasing a remix of her hit song "Physical" featuring Australian singer Troye Sivan. This new version, which includes a brand-new verse from Sivan, was unveiled on March 28, 2025, just one day after the anniversary of the original album's release on March 27, 2020.
The remix comes at a time when Lipa is in the midst of her Radical Optimism world tour, which has taken her across Australia and New Zealand, with performances in major venues. The tour marks a significant moment in her career, as she steps onto stages that have hosted some of the biggest names in music.
Fans were first treated to a sneak peek of the collaboration earlier in the week during one of Lipa's sold-out shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena. During the concert, she brought Sivan on stage to perform his track "Rush". Following their performance, the duo made a memorable gesture by gifting a USB drive containing the unreleased remix to a lucky fan in the audience. This personal touch added to the excitement surrounding the release.
To further commemorate the milestone, Lipa has also re-released Future Nostalgia in a special triple vinyl edition. This limited edition set includes the original album's 11 tracks, the deluxe Moonlight Edition, and the Club Future Nostalgia remix album, all pressed on unique colored vinyl. The 3-LP set features one yellow splatter vinyl and two traditional black discs, making it a collector's item for fans.
In a heartfelt message shared alongside the remix release, Lipa reflected on the impact of Future Nostalgia on her life and career. She expressed her gratitude, stating, "5 YEARS OF FUTURE NOSTALGIA ~ doesn’t even feel real!!!! Thank you for the memories that I have to last me a lifetime ~ keeping me dancing all around the world. Grateful beyond words and thanking my lucky stars every day for music and the power that it has over me and the ability that it has had time and time again to connect us all no matter where we are on this floating rock!!!!"
As Lipa continues her tour, she is set to perform next at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on March 28 and March 29, 2025. Following her Australian dates, the Radical Optimism tour will take her to New Zealand, with shows scheduled at the Spark Arena in Auckland on April 2 and April 4, 2025.
The European leg of the tour will kick off in May, featuring multiple performances across major cities, including two nights at London's iconic Wembley Stadium and Liverpool's Anfield Stadium. Fans in Spain will also have the chance to see Lipa live, with performances at the Movistar Arena in Madrid on May 11 and 12.
As the tour progresses, Lipa plans to visit several other European cities, including Lyon, Hamburg, Paris, Prague, and Munich, before heading to North America in September. The North American leg will begin with two nights at Toronto's Scotiabank Arena on September 1 and 2, 2025, and will wrap up at Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena on October 15 and 16, 2025.
In addition to her touring schedule, Dua Lipa released her first live album, Dua Lipa Live From The Royal Albert Hall, in November 2024, showcasing her dynamic performances and further solidifying her status as one of the leading pop artists of her generation.
The release of the remix of "Physical" featuring Troye Sivan not only highlights Lipa's ongoing evolution as an artist but also serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of Future Nostalgia.
