A Dua Lipa fan injured by a pyrotechnic tube at a concert shares a photo of her bleeding head

Dua LipaThe Radical Optimism Tour took a dangerous turn during its November 24 performance at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Just 15 minutes before the start of the performance, a concert participant suffered serious injuries after being hit by a metal pyrotechnic tube. The fan shared his ordeal online, revealing photos of his head injury and describing the traumatic experience.

An injured fan who attended the second concert in Kuala Lumpur posted about the incident on Reddit under the username DoggySmile69. His post shows that during Dua Lipa’s performance, he was hit in the head with a metal pyrotechnic tube from which confetti was shot. A fan shared a photo of him bleeding while receiving medical attention, noting that he needed a CT scan, seven stitches and a tetanus shot. Fortunately, he confirmed that he did not suffer a skull fracture.

The Reddit user also mentioned that the same tube ricocheted and hit another concert-goer, a woman. Commenting on the irony, he noted: “Ironically, she is Russian too. Some real karma shit, I guess.

After the incident, the fan was approached by two men who claimed to represent the concert authorities. They offered to cover his medical expenses and discussed compensation for the concert ticket, hotel and flight. However, the injured fan consulted his lawyer and the Russian embassy before agreeing to any arrangements.

According to reports, these people also requested that his post be removed from Reddit, but the fan refused, stating that he did not want to tarnish Dua Lipa’s reputation but wanted fair compensation for what he described as a “near-death experience.”

A fan told World of Buzz that he bought tickets to be close to the stage. He explained that the metal tube hit him suddenly and he started bleeding heavily. His wife immediately called for help, and event security escorted him and the other injured woman to the hospital.

Despite receiving medical care, the fan expressed frustration with the way the incident was handled, emphasizing the need for accountability. He later consulted with the Russian embassy to decide on next steps in the matter.

The Radical Optimism Tour will continue with scheduled performances in Seoul, South Korea on December 4 and 5. The Asian leg of the tour will conclude with these performances before Dua Lipa embarks on a tour of Europe, Australia and the US in 2025.

While Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Tour was a celebration of music and performance, this incident highlighted the risks associated with large-scale productions. The injured fan’s experience is a reminder of the importance of safety at concerts, even as fans continue to show unwavering support for the artist. It is hoped that as Dua Lipa’s tour progresses, stricter precautions will be put in place to prevent such accidents in the future.
