Zara Larsson announces Dublin date in the 3Arena
The Clean Bandit singer said: 'In thinking about this album, I thought, 'What do I want to say? What do I want this to be?'. I really am proud of my Swedish pop heritage, so I wanted to write about a Swedish summer where the sun never goes down.
'And it doesn't matter if it's December: the summer night will be there for you. It's waiting for you, it will come back for you, and you will come back for it.'
The album was created over the last year with frequent collaborator MNEK, alongside producer Margo XS and songwriter Helena Gao.
The European arena tour will kick off in Munich, Germany on October 28 at Zenith Arena, after which Zara will go on to perform in Dublin's 3Arena on November 7 and Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on the 12, followed by a run of Nordic arenas culminating in a homecoming show at Avicii Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on November 28.
Larsson's run of live shows in support of Midnight Sun officially kicks off with her opening slot on Tate McRae's Miss Possessive Tour across North America, which begins on August 4 in Vancouver, BC, with stops along the way at major arenas like New York's Madison Square Garden culminating in back-to-back shows at The Forum in Los Angeles on September 26 and 27, in line with the album release.
The singer has also released her first-ever live dates in Australia and New Zealand for February 2026 supporting American pop rock band OneRepublic.
Tickets for the 3Areana will go on sale on Ticketmaster at 10 am June 13 with pricing from €41.20 - €61.85, with an artist presale running at 10am June 11.
