Three-time Grammy winner Lizzo has announced a 3Arena Dublin date on March 13th, 2023 as part of the European leg of The Special Tour. London-based Irish/Bangladeshi musician Joy Crookes will act as special guest on the night.

The multi-platinum certified artist will kick off the huge tour on February 17th, 2023 in Oslo, Norway at Spektrum. Produced by Live Nation, the 15-date European leg of the tour continues through Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Paris, Milan and more before wrapping up at O2 Arena in London on March 15th, 2023.

Coming off her recent win for ‘Video for Good Award’ at the 2022 VMA’s for 'About Damn Time', along with the same track reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and the top 10 in 12 other countries, she will be hitting 15 European cities following her North American leg this autumn.

Her most recent album Special peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart, becoming the highest-charting album by a female artist in 2022, while its release week also became the largest week earned among all albums released by a woman this year.

The singer/songwriter, rapper and actress has shifted the sound, soul and spirit of pop music and culture. 2019’s RIAA platinum certified debut album, CUZ I LOVE YOU, bowed at No.4 on the Billboard 200, fuelled in part by hits as the platinum certified 'Tempo (Feat. Missy Elliott),' 'Juice,' 'Good As Hell' and the 7x platinum 'Truth Hurts.'

The latter of which ascended to No.1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, affirming Lizzo as only the third female rapper to top the chart without a featured artist, as well as the first black solo female R&B singer to claim the top spot since 2012. 'Truth Hurts' dominated the chart for seven weeks, further making history as the longest running #1 by a solo female rap artist ever. 'Truth Hurts' went on to earn a 2020 Grammy Award for 'Best Pop Solo Performance,' with CUZ I LOVE YOU (DELUXE) receiving that year’s Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album and 'Jerome' earning Best Traditional R&B Performance.

Tickets for 3Arena are priced from €60.50 including booking fee, and go on sale from 12pm via Ticketmaster.ie. Under 16’s should be accompanied by an adult, and it’s recommended that under 14’s purchase seated tickets.
