Southeast Asia’s e-commerce leader Lazada recently announced a star-studded line-up for its inaugural “Super Party” music concert that will be live streamed on its app simultaneously across all six markets in the region, as part of the e-retailer’s 7th birthday celebrations.
Headlining the Lazada Super Party will be Grammy and Brit Awards winner and British popstar Dua Lipa, popular for her chart-topping singles like New Rules, IDGAF and One Kiss. The 23-year-old is the youngest female music artiste ever to hit a billion views on the video platform.

Through this first-of-its-kind concert experience across Southeast Asia, Lazada is blending shopping and entertainment, ushering in a new era of ‘shoppertainment’. While browsing through the app, shoppers can watch live streams and be entertained.
“We want to go beyond shopping and offer our consumers and fans, through our in-app live streaming capabilities, moments to cherish and remember. What better way to celebrate our 7th Birthday than with our fans, Dua Lipa, and the region’s most talented artistes who will be partying together at the concert and through our app,” said Mary Zhou, Chief Marketing Officer at Lazada Group.
She added: “We have always focused on introducing new experiences for our users. Backed by Alibaba’s tech expertise and infrastructure, we are extremely excited to combine our superior tech infrastructure and talent to revolutionise the way we and sellers interact with consumers via the Lazada app on an unprecedented scale.”
