A collaboration with Dua Lipa across her Radical Optimism World Tour turned club nights and pop-up experiences in six cities across four countries into L-ISA dance experiences. This joint effort brought together Dua’s creative vision and L-Acoustics immersive sound expertise to reimagine how fans could experience the album in person.

Across Seoul, Sydney, Melbourne, London, New York, and Los Angeles, Dua Lipa welcomed fans into a series of events built around connection, joy, and immersive sound. Through this sound collaboration, the Radical Optimism pop-ups became curated spaces where the album’s themes came to life, offering fans a chance to immerse themselves in the music in a way that felt personal and meaningful.

Dua Lipa’s Presence and Immersive Sound as the Foundation

Each venue around the world was shaped into a multidimensional listening environment using L-Acoustics’ LISA technology. Every track from Radical Optimism was mixed in spatial audio, creating a soundscape that surrounded fans with clarity and movement. Vocals carried with new presence, harmonies expanded across the room, and rhythmic details revealed themselves with striking precision.

From a club transformed into an immersive dance party in Seoul, with four DJ sets, to pop-ups in New York City on Bowery and West Hollywood in Los Angeles, these opportunities allowed fans attending the shows an extra moment to dance and celebrate, immersed in Dua’s music in 3D sound. And for those fans that didn’t get tickets to the show, it gave them another opportunity to be a part of the tour, and the next best thing – to experience Radical Optimism in a live setting, with their fellow fan community. These club moments highlighted the joint effort to craft an experience that felt transformative and sonically elevated.

The pop-ups were built as bright, inviting spaces that brought the Radical Optimism aesthetic to life. Fans explored LISA listening rooms, exclusive merch showcases, album inspired photo moments, and interactive touches reflecting Dua’s personality, including displays of her favorite books.
Custom DJ sets blended immersive mixes with visuals from Radical Optimism across surrounding screens, creating a celebratory, carefully curated atmosphere.

Fans were encouraged to explore the listening zones, discovering how the music shifted as they moved, and dance to live DJ sets in each city where the immersive mixes of Radical Optimism were woven into their performances. Familiar songs gained new depth, and the album’s emotional range became more vivid through the immersive mix. Dua’s arrival at these popup experiences brought an unmistakable warmth to the room. She greeted fans with genuine enthusiasm, taking the time to talk, laugh, and share moments that felt sincere and unhurried. Whether signing a cherished item or posing for a photo, she made each interaction feel personal. For many attendees, meeting Dua was the heart of the experience. Her openness and kindness created a sense of closeness that amplified the album’s message of optimism and self-assurance.

A Multisensory Environment Inspired by the Album

The combination of immersive sound and personal interaction created an experience that resonated long after the event ended.

Fans shared that hearing the album in spatial audio made the music feel more expressive and more connected to the themes Dua explores. Meeting her in such an intimate setting added a layer of meaning that many described as unforgettable.

These events offered a rare opportunity for fans to gather, listen, and share the music together — a reminder of how powerful communal experiences can be.

A New Model for Music Engagement

The “Radical Optimism” pop-ups introduced a refreshing vision for how fans can experience music in the future. These events showed how seamlessly technology can enhance the artistic experience when both are guided by a shared purpose. L-Acoustics’ immersive sound technology created an environment where the album could unfold with remarkable clarity and dimension, offering fans an intimate connection to the music. Dua Lipa brought the emotional heart of the experience, grounding the event in warmth, presence, and the empowering spirit that defines the album.

Together, the artist’s creative vision and technology shaped a series of moments that felt uplifting and intentionally crafted.

The combination created an atmosphere where fans could fully step into the world of the album — its sound, its visuals, its energy, and its message. This sonic collaboration elevated the fan experience and redefined what a modern pop-up or club-night experience could be when powered by immersive sound.

Fans left the pop-ups with a renewed sense of optimism and a lasting memory of experiencing the music in a way that felt both innovative and intimate.

The Radical Optimism pop-ups set a new benchmark for how artists can invite fans into their creative worlds — not as observers, but as participants in an experience shaped by sound, community, and joy.
