“Training Season” Resurgence

“Training Season” and the Live from the Royal Albert Hall version are having a massive viral moment.

What started as a manifestation trend on Tiktok after Dua’s comments regarding how she carefully chooses what songs to release because she believes singing them over and over again on tour helps manifest things in her life, “Training Season” and the rendition from the Royal Albert Hall have seen increased numbers across multiple different platforms, primarily Spotify and YouTube. On the music platform, the two tracks combined are receiving nearly 4 million daily streams and would place it as the 2nd most stream song on the chart.

Both versions are currently receiving over one million streams per day and are featured in the Global 200 on Spotify. The video of the Royal Albert Hall on YouTube recently crossed 100 million views. In addition, a Spotify EP, “Training Season’s Over” was released with multiple live versions of the song to help give it an extra push.

“Training Season” also has made a re-appearance on the UK singles chart at #18 with early midweek numbers putting the song back in the top 10.

Dua Lipa Announced as Curator for London Literature Festival

Dua has been announced as the curator for the 2026 London Literature Festival, which will be held at Southbank Centre. In the role, Dua will be curating a series of events during the festival’s 11-day run. Previous headliners of the event have included literary and cultural icons like Tom Hanks, Margaret Atwood, and Malala Yousafzai.

Reading has anchored me through every chapter of my life – from being the new kid at school in a new country to finding quiet refuge on tour. Curating the Southbank Centre’s London Literature Festival is a dream come true. I’m thrilled to indulge one of my greatest obsessions: books and the brilliant minds behind them. I can’t wait to dive into the imaginations of some of my favourite authors in one of London’s most iconic cultural spaces.

Mark Ball, the Southbank Centre’s artistic director, praised Dua as a “global cultural force with millions of fans around the world” and went on to say that Dua’s “passion for the written and spoken word has inspired a new generation of readers.”

A full line-up and ticket release dates are expected to be announced during the summer.
