Hilary Duff Announces Major 2026 World Tour, Embraces Music Comeback After Decade-Long Hiatus
LOS ANGELES — Hilary Duff is experiencing a full-circle career resurgence in 2026, headlining her first major world tour in nearly two decades while balancing motherhood, acting projects and personal reflection on her journey from Disney child star to independent artist and mother of four. The 38-year-old singer-actress officially launched “The Lucky Me Tour,” supporting her sixth studio album “Luck… or Something,” which debuted in February to strong critical and commercial reception.

Duff teased the expansive tour during her intimate “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” mini-tour earlier this year, telling fans she is “ready for more” and eager to surprise audiences with evolving set lists that blend nostalgic hits with fresh material. The global run kicks off in June with stops across North America, Europe and Australia, marking her return to large-scale stages after focusing primarily on acting and family life.
In a recent interview, Duff expressed excitement about stepping back into the spotlight on her own terms. “I’m ready for my set list to change. I’m ready to surprise people,” she said, highlighting the freedom she now feels as an artist no longer bound by teen-idol expectations. The album “Luck… or Something” explores themes of maturity, relationships and self-discovery, drawing from her experiences as a wife, mother and woman navigating public life.
Tour Details and Fan Excitement
“The Lucky Me Tour” features a mix of iconic songs from her early catalog — including tracks from “Metamorphosis” and her self-titled album — alongside newer material and favorites from her “dancey era.” Special guest La Roux joins on select dates, adding an exciting collaborative element. Tickets for many shows sold out quickly, reflecting sustained fan loyalty two decades after her breakthrough.
Stops include major venues like Madison Square Garden in New York and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Additional international dates continue into early 2027, giving Duff a rigorous but fulfilling schedule. Fans have flooded social media with excitement, sharing memories of growing up with her music and celebrating her evolution.
Personal Life and Reflections
Duff, married to musician Matthew Koma since 2019, shares three daughters — Banks, Mae and Townes — with him, in addition to her 13-year-old son Luca from her previous marriage to former NHL player Mike Comrie. In recent interviews, she has opened up about the challenges of her first divorce and the importance of modeling self-worth for her children.
She has described co-parenting as generally positive and emphasized prioritizing family amid her busy career. Duff frequently shares glimpses of tour life with her children, noting the joy of including them in her professional world while protecting their privacy.
Acting and Broader Career
Beyond music, Duff continues acting. She is set to star in the upcoming Hulu dark comedy series “Pretty Ugly,” exploring the intense world of child pageants. Her ability to balance multiple creative pursuits has drawn praise, with many viewing 2026 as a defining year in her multifaceted career.
Duff’s return to music has been warmly received by millennials who grew up with “Lizzie McGuire.” Her authenticity and willingness to evolve resonate strongly in an era where nostalgia meets modern reinvention. Appearances at events like the TIME100 Summit and Northeastern University’s 2026 commencement — where students serenaded her with “What Dreams Are Made Of” — further highlight her enduring cultural impact.
Cultural Significance
Duff’s 2026 resurgence represents more than a comeback — it symbolizes growth, resilience and the power of artistic reinvention. From child star to independent woman, she has navigated fame, tabloid scrutiny and personal challenges while maintaining a connection with fans that feels genuine and enduring.
Industry observers note that her success challenges assumptions about age and relevance in entertainment. By owning her narrative and embracing new creative chapters, Duff inspires a generation of women balancing career ambitions with family life. Her music and public presence continue to offer comfort and empowerment to longtime supporters.
As “The Lucky Me Tour” unfolds, anticipation builds for memorable performances that celebrate both her past and present. Whether delivering high-energy pop anthems or introspective new tracks, Duff appears fully in control of her artistic journey. For fans old and new, 2026 marks a joyful reunion with an artist who has grown alongside them.
The year promises to be one of celebration, reflection and forward momentum for Hilary Duff. With sold-out shows, critical acclaim for her new music and a strong family foundation, she stands as a testament to perseverance and authentic self-expression in the spotlight. As summer approaches, audiences worldwide prepare to experience the next chapter in a career that continues to surprise and delight.

Julio Patricio Supervielle
Founder, Chairman of the Board & CEO
Thank you, Anna. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. The first quarter marked an early but important step in our earnings recovery with underlying profitability returning to positive territory, excluding extraordinary severance charges.
We maintain a disciplined approach to growth. Loans declined sequentially, reflecting seasonally lower demand in local currency lending and our continued focus on selective origination. U.S. dollar loans grew 13% in original currency terms, although peso appreciation masks growth when reported in local currency.
We also further optimized our funding mix by reducing higher-cost wholesale deposits and strengthening deposit quality. Asset quality showed early signs of stabilization, while the NPL ratio stood at 5.6% at quarter end, delinquency trends improved slightly through March following the February peak.
In parallel, cost of risk improved
