Lulu, 76, ‘thrilled’ and leaves fans excited with major career announcement amid tour retirement
Singing legend Lulu is set to make a surprise return to the stage, announcing a one-off headline concert at London’s Cadogan Hall this March.
The performance marks an unexpected comeback for the star, who retired from touring last year following her farewell Champagne For Lulu tour.
The iconic singer will take to the stage once again on March 7 for what she confirms will be her only London headline concert of 2025.
The singer shared her excitement with fans on social media, writing: “Hot off the press! I am thrilled to announce that I will be performing at London’s iconic Cadogan Hall on 7 March!”
“This will be my only London headline concert this year so don’t miss! Tickets go on sale on Friday at 10am at cadoganhall.com,” she added.
Fans were left thrilled with the announcement, as one commented underneath the post: “Terrific venue! I’ll be there!
“She was INCREDIBLE in Ipswich,” another added before a third said: “Oh Lulu I am thrilled with this news! Can’t wait to come!”
Someone else penned: “Oooh I do hope I can get tickets for this! An exciting start to the new year!”
The announcement follows Lulu’s extensive farewell tour throughout 2024, which began in early spring with multiple dates across the country.
The Champagne For Lulu tour’s first leg concluded at the London Palladium on April 17.
Following strong demand, the singer extended her farewell performances with an additional 10 dates in November 2024.
Speaking on Gyles Brandreth’s Rosebud podcast when announcing her retirement, Lulu revealed: “This is actually – I’m announcing it for the first time now – this is my farewell tour, with family, and friends.”
The singer explained her decision, stating: “Last year I did a tour that was kind of gruelling – it was successful, it went well.
“But you need an army to be a success in your career these days.”
“I felt unsupported. But then I turned 75, and I thought, ‘You know what, I want to carry on working, but I want to do it a different way.'”
In a reflective moment during the podcast interview, Lulu also opened up about her personal growth.
