Hilary Duff Reclaims Lizzie McGuire Legacy While Touring and Adding U.K. Dates

She is turning early-2000s nostalgia into live shows that deepen a grown-up bond with longtime fans.

Overview

  • Duff is currently on the U.S. leg of her Lucky Me tour and has announced U.K. dates for September as she expands her return to live performance.
  • On tour she has added legacy songs to her set list and for the first time performed “What Dreams Are Made Of” from The Lizzie McGuire Movie, prompting loud sing-alongs.
  • Duff, who spoke to People Monday, called her Disney Channel role a “badge of honour” and said hearing from fans who grew up with her never gets old.
  • Her return follows an earlier 2026 run called Small Rooms, Big Nerves, marking Duff’s first sustained touring activity in more than a decade.
  • The run taps into a wider early-2000s nostalgia trend and could lead to more legacy-focused shows or releases as Duff balances touring with family life and public reflections.
