Dua Lipa announces 'Dua Lipa (Live From Mexico)' concert film and live album

Dua Lipa announces 'Dua Lipa (Live From Mexico)' concert film and live album, premiering May 21-22. Plus, details on her $15M Samsung lawsuit.

"This tour has been the most beautiful and fulfilling experience of my career so far. - Dua Lipa"

Mumbai, May 15

Singer-songwriter Dua Lipa is turning her tour into a live album. The singer has announced 'Dua Lipa', a live album and concert film that she recorded across three shows at Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros.

The film is slated to premiere on May 21 on her YouTube channel, while the live album will hit streaming services on May 22, reports 'Variety'.

Physical copies of the album are available for preorder and will ship on June 5. In the film's trailer, Lipa addresses the crowd in an emotional moment.

Talking about the same, she said, "This tour has been the most beautiful and fulfilling experience of my career so far. You've built something bigger than a show. You've built a family and I feel that every single night".

As per 'Variety', the singer captured the album and film while on her 'Radical Optimism' tour, which concluded with the Mexico City concerts in December 2025. At the shows, she duetted with Maná's Fher Olvera on the band's 1992 track 'Oye Mi Amor'. She staged the staggering 92-date tour around 'Radical Optimism', her third album that released in May 2024, and touched down on five continents with over 1.75 million tickets sold.

This comes after the singer filed a $15 million lawsuit against an appliance brand. She had alleged that the electronics manufacturer used her likeness to sell TVs without paying her and without permission.

As per the complaint, Samsung used Lipa's image on the cardboard packaging of its TVs beginning last year. When the singer became aware of it, she demanded that the company stop using her image.

The suit alleges that the company was "dismissive and callous" and refused the request. The lawsuit states, "Ms. Lipa's face was prominently used for a mass marketing campaign for a consumer product without her knowledge, without consideration, and as to which she had no say, control, or input whatsoever. Ms. Lipa did not allow and would not have allowed this use".

The complaint alleges a copyright violation, a violation of the California right of publicity statute, a federal Lanham Act claim, and trademark claims. The suit was filed in the Central District of California.

While I'm excited about the concert film, I'm more interested in her lawsuit against Samsung. It's good to see celebrities standing up for their rights. In India too, we see so many cases of unauthorized use of images - it's about time artists fight back! 💪

Interesting how she's turning her tour into a live album. 92 dates across 5 continents is no joke! But honestly, $15 million lawsuit? That seems excessive for a packaging image. Maybe she could have just asked for a settlement instead of going to court.

The duet with Maná's Fher Olvera on 'Oye Mi Amor' must have been epic! Cross-cultural collaborations like this remind me of how music connects us all. Hopefully more international artists include Indian stops in their tours - we have such a massive fan base waiting! 🎵

I appreciate Dua's message about building a 'family' with her fans. It's rare to see such genuine connection in the music industry. But let's not forget - this is also a smart business move. Live albums and films keep the tour revenue flowing even after the shows end.

As a law student in Bangalore, I find the Samsung case fascinating. The California right of publicity statute is quite strong. In India, we have the right to privacy under Article 21, but publicity rights are still evolving. This could set an interesting precedent for how celebrity images are protected globally. ⚖️
