There is no way Glastonbury allowed her to perform the same show 4 times before the festival. Think of these dates as promo concerts for the album and I'm sure it won't be the same set as Glasto. 

Beyoncé actually performed her Glastonbury set multiple times before she did it there, ironing out the kinks.

Her show will be similar regardless. Not like she has 15 albums to pick from.. she will clearly do all of the known hits in each venue including Glastonbury.

I'm not complaining because I'm not attending Glastonbury anyway

Its been month since release of TS and since then we got Brit performance, album announcement, extended version, live version video and its still not enough?

Also acapella and instrumental versions, and now the london sessions version. 

 

There are like 7 versions on my spotify now

They would. Bey's headline set wasn't original to just Glasto, neither was Shakira's, Kylie actually built a whole tour around Glasto in open fields and did the same show in all of them (sans some surprise guests) and Janet basically rehashed her Vegas show.

So she does mention that scrapped album recorded between 2021-2022, I remember someone mentioned about it being more funk and 2000s inspired but she changed everything….

Y'all blame her dad, but she clearly left for a reason

 

 

Dua said making Illusion was the ‘eureka moment' of creating the album. It includes live drums and synths and a big music breakdown by Kevin and Danny which she describes as ‘the big dance moment'

In this interview 

https://variety.com/2024/music/news/dua-lipa-radical-optimism-houdini-training-season-interview-1235945095/

 

she also talks a bit more about the album concept + happy for you briefly 

i am so pumped for this

If she plans her concerts around her holidays, what's the problem? Too bad Cleveland ain't doing more to become a tourist destination. 

Do we need another pre-album single? I kinda want one.

Her Variety Interview-

Quote

You talk about your eureka moment. What was that for you?

It was a song called “Illusion.” That was a song where I felt like lyrically, I got this radical optimism. I felt very strong in the moment when I was writing that song, because it was really seeing past someone's bullshit, I guess, for lack of a better word. And understanding it for what it is and just entertaining it for the hell of it, even though you see what's happening. But I felt in a stronger power of position, because I was like maybe before, I would have fallen for something like this and now I can dance with the illusion, and it's something for me too, you know? I think musically also, when Kevin and Danny came together and it was the live drums and the synths and the big music breakdown, in my head the big dance moment, when all those came together it was just a feeling. I had a feeling and I was like, now I have something to bounce off of. And in that first week, even though sonically they're in the same world but they're very different, I wrote “Illusion" and then I wrote “Happy for You" and “Happy for You" is a much bigger ballad, in a way. Somewhat. I wouldn't really classify it as a ballad. Because I don't do songs that are slow and big and emotional, but I just put them in the ballad section, I'm like, I don't do those. But this feels almost in a world where I can really have this epic singing record that I was able to be very vulnerable and open in. But still sonically, it has this tremolo sound that I'm really obsessed with and it's Kevin's voice replicated. We use it as a sample throughout. That was just a moment for me to be really vulnerable and open and honest in what was happening in my life at that point. But I feel overall, in this whole record, I just grew as I was writing. I feel like I matured throughout.

I'm so psyched for this album! I decided that I'm going to hold off listening to Training Season and Houdini for the next month. I've mostly been listening to Training Season ever since it came out. I may have streamed it close to 1000 times... I can't help it, it's too good. Same thing with Houdini before that. It does sneak in a few times here and there but that's about it. I think it'll be good if I go into the album having not listened to the singles too close to the release date. I feel like that way it'll hit so much harder

Apparently these 4 new shows will be filmed for a special project hence why the “aesthetic" arenas..

Ughhh... I feel like it's gonna be impossible to get good tickets, just like with any concert now!

Well, maybe this time they have some kind of Apple TV or Netflix or some other streaming platform contract, lets see. It wouldnt be out of style for current music scene
