Former Disney Channel Star Kicks Off Long-Awaited Tour After Years Away
Hilary Duff didn't ease back into touring.
She launched it like a full-scale comeback.
The multi-platinum pop star officially kicked off her long-awaited The Lucky Me Tour this week, opening the run with the first of two nights at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida. It marks her first global headline tour in nearly two decades, a return that has been building through a series of smaller, sold-out warm-up shows and Las Vegas residencies over the past year.
From the moment she stepped onstage, Duff, 38, made it clear the night wasn't about nostalgia alone. She opened with "Wake Up," setting the tone for a setlist that moved between eras of her career while spotlighting new material from her sixth studio album, luck… or something.
The album, which Rolling Stone recently named one of the "Best Albums of 2026," has become the backbone of the tour's fresh direction.
The show blended familiar fan favorites with newer tracks like "Roommates," "Weather For Tennis," "Future Tripping" and "Mature," giving longtime listeners a mix of comfort and surprise. Rather than leaning strictly on past hits, Duff structured the night like a conversation between the different phases of her career from early pop stardom to reinvention and her current creative era.
At one point during the set, Duff paused to acknowledge the moment with the audience.
"You guys have made this all possible for me," she said.
"It feels like such a celebration of our past younger selves to now and who we are. This just feels so full circle and so exciting."
That sense of return is central to the tour's story. After years away from large-scale touring, Duff first tested the waters with her Small Rooms, Big Nerves run. The intimate, sold-out series quietly reintroduced her to live audiences. Those shows, along with limited Las Vegas performances at Voltaire at The Venetian Resort, set the stage for what is now a full global rollout.
The Lucky Me Tour will travel across seven countries, including stops in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The North American leg continues through cities like Los Angeles, Nashville, New York, and Houston before wrapping in Grand Rapids, Michigan on August 16.
From there, the tour moves overseas beginning in Dublin in September, followed by arena dates across the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and later Canada and Mexico into early 2027.
