Hilary Duff is officially entering her arena era again, and we are so ready.
Ahead of her sixth studio album‘ luck… or something’ dropping February 20, Duff has announced ‘the lucky me tour’, her first full global headline run in almost two decades. It kicks off June 22 in Florida and stretches right through to February 2027, with Australia and New Zealand getting their turn in October.
And yes, Perth is on the list. We love a dramatic West Coast finale.
Arena Hilary Is Back
This is:
- Madison Square Garden
- Red Rocks Amphitheatre
- LA’s Kia Forum
- London’s The O2
- Rod Laver Arena
- RAC Arena
Support across Australia and New Zealand comes from La Roux, which feels extremely 2010 Tumblr-coded, and y’know what? I’m not mad about it.
Hilary teased the tour at her final ‘Small Rooms, Big Nerves’ show in LA by bringing fans onstage to recreate the viral ‘With Love’ dance moment. You know the one. The choreography that launched a thousand TikToks. The stiff-arm classic. The “are we witnessing pop history or Year 9 assembly?” era.
She’s since leaned into it, performed it knowingly, and reclaimed it. Which means we are absolutely ready to witness it served in person at full arena scale. Respectfully.
Australia & New Zealand Dates
Mark it in your calendar app immediately:
- October 20 – Auckland, Spark Arena
- October 22 – Brisbane, Brisbane Entertainment Centre

Perth, closing the Australian leg, is deeply correct energy. Let us have the final glitter fallout. Cheers, babes.

The Album Era
The tour celebrates Duff’s upcoming album’ luck… or something’, arriving February 20.
So far we’ve had:
- ‘Roommates‘ – co-written with Matthew Koma and Brian Phillips, climbing at Pop and Hot AC radio
- ‘Mature’ – glossy, sharp, grown but still very Hilary
This is her first new album since 2015’s ‘Breathe In. Breathe Out.’
Why This Still Hits
Hilary Duff is one of those artists who quietly shaped a generation. Lizzie McGuire was early representation of big feelings, inner monologues, and being a little socially off but still worthy of love.
Then the music soundtracked our teenage years. ‘Come Clean’ remains one of the most emotionally destabilising rain-soaked pop songs of all time. I don’t make the rules.
Now she’s back with a new record, La Roux on support, and the confidence to lean into her own pop lore. Good for her.
TLDR;
- Hilary Duff announces ‘the lucky me tour’, her first global headline run in nearly 20 years
- New album ‘luck… or something‘ out February 20
- Australia & NZ dates in October 2026
- Perth closes the Australian leg at RAC Arena on October 29

We will be there. Possibly attempting the choreo. Possibly pulling a hamstring.
Stay unruly.
