Commitment, energy and modern pop. This is the rule of three by British artist Dua Lipa, in concert at the Nîmes arenas on June 12 and 13.

The Nîmes arenas are getting ready to vibrate on June 12 and 13 with the arrival of global pop icon Dua Lipa. As part of the Nîmes Festival, the British singer, who has been racking up global hits for several years – and whose tickets have sold out in record time – promises to put on a show under the stars of the Roman city. But what makes Dua Lipa such a unique and captivating phenomenon?? We take stock.

A rising star with essential hits

Dua Lipa, born in 1995 in London to Kosovar parents, has quickly climbed the ranks of the international music scene. Since the release of her self-titled debut album in 2017, she has enjoyed a string of commercial successes. Tracks like "New Rules", "Don’t Start Now", and "Levitating" have become pop anthems, ubiquitous on radio waves and streaming playlists.

With a mix of modern pop, dance, and a touch of 80s nostalgia, Dua Lipa has created a unique and recognizable sound. His second album, "Future Nostalgia" (2020), has cemented his place among the most influential artists of his generation, garnering rave reviews, numerous international awards and an ever-growing fan community.

A diverse audience

Dua Lipa's success is not limited to a single age group, but her admirers are mainly among young adults. According to market studies and analyzes of streaming platforms, his music particularly affects 18-35 year olds. And like Aurélien, creator of an Instagram page dedicated to the artist (@dualipapagefansfrance), many of them idolize him: “The passion came to me when the song “Physical” came out, I listened to it on repeat. I have a very special connection with this song”, says the 28-year-old from Clermont. This generation, familiar with social networks and online music platforms, finds in Dua Lipa an artist who reflects their tastes and contemporary concerns.

However, Dua Lipa’s appeal extends well beyond this age group. His catchy sounds and catchy lyrics also appeal to teenagers and even younger people, often influenced by TikTok trends where several of his songs have gone viral. In addition, her charisma and her image as a strong and independent woman also resonate with older listeners. "I really like what she did for Kosovo with the creation of the Sunny Hill Festival (event that she has been organizing since 2018 with Dukagjin Lipa, her father) or her positions, notably when she refused to perform during the opening ceremony of the Football World Cup in Qatar" details Aurélien.

A committed show

But Dua Lipa is also stage performances with precise choreography and boundless energy which promises to make concerts at the Nîmes arenas (June 12 and 13) one of the highlights of the year ;summer. For festival-goers, it’s the opportunity to live an exceptional experience in a grandiose setting. "I’can’t wait !", explains Laura, second year student at Alphonse Daudet high school. "I've been dreaming of seeing her for years", she smiles impatiently.

Beyond her music, the British singer is also recognized for her social commitment. "I find that there aren’many artists who commit as much as she can. Then I love his songs", continues the high school student. She uses her notoriety to defend causes close to her heart, such as women's rights and the fight against racism. So obviously, this added dimension reinforces the admiration of her fans, who see in her a complete and committed artist. A sort of modern planetary phenomenon…

If the two evenings of June 12 and 13 are Dua Lipa's only dates in France, the press is not authorized to cover the concert. Like an air of déjà vu a little over a week after the arrival of Eric Clapton to open the Festival…
