A Dua Lipa fan claims to have been injured by a pyrotechnic accident during her concert at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The incident occurred during the Radical Optimism tour's Asian leg, which began in Singapore and continues until 2025.
A Dua Lipa fan claims to have been injured in a horrific pyrotechnic accident at a recent concert in Malaysia. The British hitmaker is currently on her Radical Optimism tour and is partway through the Asian leg, which commenced on November 5 in Singapore.
Less than a month in to her run of concerts, which won't conclude until October 2025, a fan has claimed to have been injured at a concert. In a post on social media site Reddit, the fan shared a photo alongside their claims of what happened after one of her Axiata Arena shows last weekend in Kuala Lumpur. They asked the social media site's users whether they could be compensated for their alleged injury. The Dua Lipa fan wrote: "I got hit in head by some pyrotechnical metal tube at Dua Lipa’s concert in Malaysia today."

Thanking others for their support, the fan claimed they were back at their hotel, after having seven stitches and a CT scan. The fan claimed that "two guys" paid their 2712 Maylasian Ringgit medical bill. The fan wrote: "Two guys came and start talking about compensation for hotel, concert tickets, flight. I told them I’m not ready to talk about that and need to talk to my embassy, lawyer and maybe police. A showed them that post. They paid my hospital bill cause I have no such money for that. I don’t wanna ruin Dua Lipa’s reputation. It’s not fair and I against that Better Call Saul moves. I just want my fair compensation for near death experience ." The fan goes on to claim: "So, after paying my hospital bills one of them asked to hide that post, but I refused. Also I refused to be taken to hotel by one of them. I get their numbers and said that maybe we will talk tomorrow." Later on in the post, the fan added that it was confirmed to them by "some stadium authority " that nothing except medical bills would be paid for. There is no confirmation as to whether the pyrotechnics were part of the show, or if they were set off by crowd members”. A Live Nation spokesperson told The Mirror : “ We’ve asked for detailed information from the vendor involved on how this occurred, and of course wish both fans involved a speedy recovery.” Dua has previously come up against a similar situation, following a gig in July 2022, when "unauthorised" fireworks were set off in the crowd, causing injury to fans. The 29-year-old was forced to issue an apology to gig-goers, which read: "Last night, unauthorised fireworks went off in the crowd during my set in Toronto. Creating a safe and inclusive space at my shows is always my first priority, and my team and I are just as shocked and confused by the events as you all are. "There is an ongoing investigation into the events being conducted, and everyone involved is working hard to find out how this incident occurred. Bringing this show to life for my fans has been such an amazing experience, and I’m so deeply sorry for anyone who was scared, felt unsafe, or whose enjoyment of the show was affected in any way. All my love, Dua."Join the Irish Mirror’s breaking news service on WhatsApp. Click this link to receive breaking news and the latest headlines direct to your phone.
