Will Dua Lipa Headline Sunny Hill 2025?

Here’s what we know (and don’t).

POSTED BY ZOE TYLER

Following what looked like a very likely headlining slot at the 2024 Sunny Hill Festival, all eyes are on Dua Lipa again this year. The question is simple: Will she take the stage again in 2025? The answer? We’re not there yet — but let’s break down what we’ve seen, what we know, and what’s probably still cooking behind the scenes.

A Quick Recap: Dua and Sunny Hill Go Way Back 

If you’ve followed Sunny Hill even casually, you know this is Dua Lipa’s festival — literally. She and her father, Dukagjin Lipa launched it back in 2018 to spotlight Kosovo on the global stage. Since then, it’s grown into the country’s biggest music event, attracting names like Miley Cyrus, Diplo, and Calvin Harris.

And Dua? She’s headlined three times already — 2018, 2019, and 2022 — and played a major (if not officially confirmed) role in 2024’s edition too.

2024: The “Unofficial” Headliner 

Let’s be real: Dua Lipa practically was Sunny Hill 2024. Even though the lineup didn’t list her by name, everything pointed to her presence being more than ceremonial.

  • She posted on July 24: “OUR 5TH YEAR RUNNING! A dream to put on this festival with my family for our city!!! PRISHTINA 2 THE WORLD @sunnyhill2024 SEE YOU TOMORROW!!”

  • Fan accounts like @PopCrave and @TheCinesthetic confirmed she was there across multiple days.

  • Her father told IQ Magazine she was promoting and attending the whole weekend.

  • Style pages even clocked her fits from the mainstage.

No official setlist? No problem. Dua Lipa was everywhere in 2024.

So… What About 2025? 

Here’s where things get interesting.
The 2025 edition is locked in for August 1–3, and early announcements have started to bubble up. One name we’re seeing: Peggy Gou. One name we’re not seeing yet? Dua Lipa.

That doesn’t mean she’s out. In fact, knowing her track record, it’s more likely that the team is just playing their cards close to the chest. Dua’s always been involved in the festival’s curation, direction, and vibe — and it’s rare for her not to show up at all.

But still, no announcement means: as of now, Dua Lipa is not confirmed to headline Sunny Hill 2025.

Headliner or Not, She’ll Be There — Right?

Probably. Given her role, we expect her to attend in some form — whether that’s hosting, making a surprise cameo, or delivering a full-blown headlining set (again). It’s part of what makes Sunny Hill feel like more than just another festival. It’s hers. And when she’s on stage in Kosovo, it always feels personal.

But until the team makes it official, we’ll have to keep refreshing those lineup drops.
