From Small Rooms to Amphitheaters

The announcement comes weeks after Duff completed her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour in January 2026—just four intimate shows in London, Toronto, Brooklyn, and Los Angeles.

At the January 19 London opener, she performed “What Dreams Are Made Of” live for the first time, along with hits like “So Yesterday” and “Come Clean”.

The Full Picture

The Lucky Me tour spans 40+ dates across North America and Europe from February 2026 through February 2027.

Highlights include Madison Square Garden on August 5Red Rocks Amphitheatre on July 20, and multiple arena shows across the U.K., Ireland, and Canada.

Why It Matters

Hilary Duff’s 22-year gap between Michigan shows is one of the longest stretches for any major pop artist in the state. Her 2004 Detroit concert happened before the iPhone existed, before YouTube launched, and before most Gen Z fans were born. The Lucky Me tour marks her first major world tour since the mid-2000s and follows her 2026 comeback with new single “Mature”—her first release in over a decade. For Michigan’s millennial fanbase, the Pine Knob and Grand Rapids shows represent a long-awaited nostalgia moment and a chance to see Duff perform both classic hits and new material.
