SZA announces second Dublin date due to demand

Grammy winner SZA has announced an extra Dublin show at 3Arena on Thursday, June 22nd due to phenomenal demand.

Produced by Live Nation, the European leg of the S.O.S. Tour kicks off June 1 in Amsterdam at Ziggo Dome, making stops in Paris, Berlin, London, and more before wrapping up in Dublin at 3Arena on June 21st & 22nd. The tour will then circle back to North America, kicking off on September 20 in Miami before wrapping up in Phoenix at Footprint Center on October 29.

The 2023 tour follows SZA’s hugely successful sophomore album, SOS, which was released in December and earned the musician the record for the largest streaming week for an R&B album in the US. The album also claimed ten non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart - the most among albums by women in seven years. Read our verdict of the LP here.

During the first run of the S.O.S. Tour earlier this year, the platinum recording artist performed classics like 'Love Galore' and 'The Weekend' in addition to newer mega-hits such as 'Kill Bill,' and 'Shirt.'

Fans also got to experience special performances from a number of surprise guests including Phoebe Bridgers, Cardi B, Summer Walker, Lizzo and more. The S.O.S. Tour marked the St Louis-born, New Jersey-raised act's first-ever arena stint.

SZA released her major label debut album Ctrl (TDE/RCA) in 2017. Revered for its raw and honest lyrics, it landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Albums chart, No. 2 on the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Nielsen Music. The now RIAA-certified 3xPlatinum album received five Grammy nominations in 2018 and more than half the songs on Ctrl are currently certified multi-Platinum and Gold.

Ctrl remains on the Billboard 200 chart since its release in 2017 and holds the record for the longest run for any Black female artist’s debut album.
