Get ready for a blast from the past and a major comeback! Hilary Duff, the iconic pop star of the noughties, is making headlines again with her upcoming global tour, Lucky Me.
After almost two decades, Duff is back with a bang, and her fans worldwide are in for a treat. The tour, presented by Live Nation, will take her to seven countries, including a highly anticipated return to Australia after an 18-year hiatus.
But here's where it gets exciting for Aussie fans: Duff has added four exclusive Australian dates to her itinerary! She'll be performing in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth, with special guest La Roux joining her on stage. Mark your calendars for October, because these shows are not to be missed!
"I'M GOING ON A WORLD TOUR!" Duff exclaimed on Instagram, her excitement palpable. She even joked about the fashion dilemma that comes with such a massive announcement: "... now what do I wear?"
In a heartfelt follow-up, Duff, now 38, shared her thoughts on the tour, saying, "The name says it all. I feel incredibly lucky to be back on stage, performing for all of you beautiful people. It's been too long, and I can't wait to see you all on the Lucky Me Tour."
The tour coincides with the highly anticipated release of Duff's new album, Luck... or Something, which drops on February 20th. This album marks a significant milestone, as it's her first studio album in over a decade, following her 2015 release, Breathe In. Breathe Out.
Last November, Duff gave fans a taste of what to expect with the release of the album's first single, Mature. In an interview with Variety, she opened up about the song's inspiration, explaining, "It's about a brief romance I had with an older guy. It's almost like a conversation with my past self, reflecting on that time with the wisdom and maturity of an adult."
Duff believes that now is the perfect time to reconnect with her fans, saying, "I wanted to make sure everything felt right before jumping back in. This moment, and the people I have around me, just felt so aligned."
