Fans can pre-order the album via the artist’s website to gain access to a pre-sale, which will be available from Wednesday April 10.
A general sale window will then be held from 10am General on Friday April 12.
The pop star previously explained her new record ‘captures a period of major changes in her life, including the end of a relationship and her forays into dating.’
She told Rolling Stone magazine: ‘This record feels a bit more raw. I want to capture the essence of youth and freedom and having fun and just letting things happen, whether it’s good or bad.
‘You can’t change it. You just have to roll with the punches of whatever’s happening in your life.’
News of the singer’s performance at the Royal Albert Hall comes after it was revealed she will turn her appearance at Glastonbury this summer into a dramatic movie using behind-the-scenes footage of the build-up to her main stage appearance.
She will also use the film to accompany a single released after she performs on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage at Worthy Farm in Somerset.
Dua greeted confirmation that she was headlining the festival on June 28 saying: ‘I have dreamt of this moment all my life.’
The singer previously appeared at Glastonbury in 2017 and during Mark Ronson’s set in 2019.
She will join Coldplay and Shania Twain as headliners in 2024.
