The Best Gig I Ever Saw: Macy Gets Nostalgic for Dua Lipa

South Wales pop artist Macy told us about her Dua Lipa experience...

Macy: There are so many concerts I could talk about, but one stands out above the rest, seeing Dua Lipa on her Future Nostalgia tour.

I’ve been a fan of Dua since I was 16, back when I’d watch her YouTube videos long before she became a global pop star. In 2017, I paid £28.50 to see her live for the first time, and I was completely blown away. That first tour left such an impression on me, I just knew this was something I wanted to do one day. 

Fast forward to 2023, and my dad surprised me with Gold Circle tickets. We were lucky enough to make it right to the barrier. From the music to the set design to the full retro-futuristic concept, the night was so magical! I knew every lyric, danced all night, and soaked in every second.

As the show came to an end, one of her security team handed me her setlist. A surreal, pinch-me moment! It’s a night I’ll never forget.

Macy's "Please Keep Talking" is out now.
