I mean if this were true wouldn’t her album sales reflect it? Or even the streaming figures?
When you have a bad album roll out you pay the price in first week sales. Nobody right now should take 7 months to release something. Finish the record and then do everything. Dua said it still wasnt finished when Houdini was released.
I heard she left her old management. Maybe a bad decision?

Its true that this was one of the weakest pop album rollouts in recent memory. Just all wrong. Also dont thing my father will now be my manager thing is the best for her at this point. I really was told last summer, June 2023, that she will do Coachella and Glasto and album will be out first week of April 2024. Then apparently no one was really happy with the record, no real singles besides Houdini, they kept pushing it back, but couldnt anymore cause shows are starting in early June. So they settled for early May now. But it does feel album needs one or 2 more strong singles to push it forward. Its a shame, I like her, and I think it was all wide open for her to do a massive homerun with this record. Feels like a missed opportunity in a way.

Yes she left Tap. She had the same management company as Lana Del Rey, from her first demos. Bot Dua and Lana were taken on by Tap before the first singles were released. Dua left Tap last year and now her father manages her.

Allegedly, lead single and music video for it were scrapped because it wasn’t commercial enough and more importantly, the video depicted a riot at a music festival (problematic due to massacre that also happened at a music festival). There are more songs on the way since they were not finished in time for the release and will be sold as deluxe …
She’s headlining Glasto. She’s headliner or bust now. Her album sales literally don’t matter.
We’ve seen acts in the past become headliners then fall down in bookings. Not saying that’s going to happen to Dua. At least for now she is definitely still a headliner.

And nobody ( outside the uk ) is going to be able to watch that in real time when it happens which is a bummer. How talked about is that set gonna be if its not accesible. That was kinda the deal when she played Lolla. Her set wasnt streamed and by all accounts had the largest crowd all weekend.
And yeah, she has her dad running thee show now and are they just treating this as a learning experience?
Dua is less than a year from one of her biggest hits ever (Dance the Night), and would without question, have a bigger crowd than Tyler or Lana did. Did this album take her to the next level? Not necessarily, but unlike Doja Cat, I assume she would actually play her big hit songs of the past if she did play Coachella, so there's plenty of material for a great set.

The argument shouldn't be whether the new album makes her not a headliner.
The argument should be whether it dampens GV's desire to have her come back 11 months after her album release date after a global tour when they have historically tried to lead off cycles, not end them (and were criticized for that this year).
The funny thing to me about the Dua reactions here to me are that there are significant reactions at all. That album was...fine. I'm surprised anyone could feel either strong love or strong hate for it. A bit bland, generally pleasant, no songs that hit me on first listen the way Houdini did. Nothing here makes her less of a headliner (though I'll admit I'm less excited about her headlining now). Maybe it'll grow on subsequent listens.
Also a reminder that pretty much every time an artist comes out with quotes about how different their new album is going to be with comparisons to left field artists like Massive Attack, it's almost always bullshit. Except for the Killers talking up Bruce ahead of Sam's Town.
I have to agree with you here. The album is fine. I don't hear the Massive Attack inspiration. But her catalogue is strong enough and it'll be a fun set on Main Stage instead of an utter snooze like LDR.
Exactly this. Are people expecting Dua to pull a Doja and NOT play the hits? We’re still going to get Physical, Levitating, Dont Start Now, Hallucinate, etc. And given that she’s likely gonna have something to prove, she’ll go all out.

I was there at lolla. It was boring. I like some of her songs fine I guess but mainstream top 40 bubblegum pop was never really my thing and seeing her live didn’t change my mind. It was boring and no one around me seemed really into it either.

Hot Take: Mikey , RTTD will be Madonna (wait for it lol, we got the money $$$, AND… SADE). All women and 5 “headliners”, history making Coachella for the young and old & the gays!
Did anybody happen to screen cap the alleged Dua Lipa tour dates that were up on Coachella subreddit for about 10 minutes on maybe Thursday? If they were fake, somebody better get a graphic design and/or tour routing job off it because they had both down to a T. Anyway, I want to say it had her doing two shows at the Forum in January.

they were fake if it's the one that was also on twitter. it had her doing shows back to back for 5 days not once but twice throughout the tour. she has stamina but not that kind of stamina.

This Tommy Richman song is about to blow all the way up. Summer anthem. If you're mocking, this feels like the road to a third liner on next year's poster. Major 90s R&B party vibes for sure.

It's like a good version of Robin Thicke who got an early Timbaland Aaliyah beat. I fucking love it. He's also wearing the jacket in the lyric video from a tiny local Bay Area streetwear company I love, huge look for the designer...I have the same one but he looks way cooler hah.

You mean this one?
The 9-run days in there suggests to me this is fake
Best act this year was No Doubt. Last year, it was Chemical Brothers. Clearly, it doesn’t matter what snoozefest of a current pop headliner they have next year, it’s whatever 90s act they book that will be bringing the real heat.
We don't typically really get anything until July-ish. I don't think they start with anything outside of like a Jamiroquai/Aphex Twin or a headliner before July/August.
