Get ready to relive your noughties nostalgia because Hilary Duff is back and bigger than ever! The pop icon has just dropped some massive news that’s got fans worldwide buzzing: she’s hitting the road for her Lucky Me Tour, her first full-scale headline tour in nearly two decades. But here’s where it gets even more exciting—Aussie fans, rejoice! Duff has added four Australian dates to her global trek, marking her first tour Down Under since 2008. That’s right, after an 18-year hiatus, she’s finally returning to perform in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth this October, with special guest La Roux in tow.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Duff exclaimed, “I’M GOING ON A WORLD TOUR!!!” before playfully adding, “… now what do I wear?” Later, the 38-year-old star shared her excitement, saying, “The name says it all. I truly feel so lucky to be able to be onstage again in front of all of you beautiful people. I can’t wait! See you on the Lucky Me Tour.”
Spanning seven countries—the US, Canada, Mexico, the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia—the tour kicks off in Florida on June 22 and runs through February 2027. And this is the part most people miss: the tour coincides with the release of Duff’s highly anticipated new album, Luck… or Something, dropping on February 20. It’s her first album in over a decade, following her 2015 release, Breathe In. Breathe Out.
Last November, Duff gave fans a taste of what’s to come with her single Mature, a reflective track about a brief romance with an older man. “This song is like a conversation with my past self,” she told Variety, “looking back with the maturity of a grown adult.” She added, “I think I was just really ready to reintroduce myself to my fans. This moment feels right.”
But here’s the controversial part: after such a long break, will Duff’s music still resonate with her original fanbase? Or will she attract a whole new generation of listeners? What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
For Aussie fans eager to secure their spot, mark your calendars: the Live Nation pre-sale runs from February 19 at 1pm to February 20 at 12pm (AEDT), with general ticket sales starting February 20 at 1pm (AEDT).
