Dua Lipa was joined by Vance Joy for a cover of ‘Riptide’ at her recent Melbourne show – watch footage of the moment below.
The ‘Houdini’ singer wrapped up the Melbourne leg of her Australian tour by bringing out the ‘Don’t Fade‘ artist last night (March 23). It continued her run of covering Australian artists on the tour, after Troye Sivan had made a surprise appearance the night previous.
“So this next song in the set is different every night,” Lipa told the crowd ahead of Sivan and her teaming up, explaining that she has been filling it with a song “by a local artist.”
Sunday night’s “local artist” was Australian-born Joy, who performed his 2013 hit alongside Lipa, who called the track “quite possibly one of my favourite songs” as she introduced him.
In turn, Joy later took to Instagram to say Lipa was a “legend” that left everyone “awe-struck and feeling the energy she was putting out.”
Lipa’s tour is in support of her album ‘Radical Optimism’ last summer, and at previous Melbourne shows this month, she has also covered Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’, Natalie Imbruglia’s ‘Torn’ and AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’.
After wrapping up in Australia, Lipa is heading to the UK for even more live shows this summer, kicking off the run with two huge concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium (June 20, 21) followed by two dates at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool on June 24 and 25.
Before then, she’ll be touring across Europe performing in Paris, Belgium, Milan, Amsterdam and more. Visit here for Europe tickets and here for UK tickets.
The dates come following her huge headline slot at Glastonbury 2024, and after Lipa announced a special re-release of ‘Future Nostalgia’ in celebration of its fifth anniversary. The vinyl set will be released on March 28, almost exactly five years after the album first dropped.
Sivan, meanwhile, will be joining Charli XCX during her headline set at Primavera Sound this summer in Barcelona. The ‘Brat’ star is topping the bill alongside Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter, in what Charli dubbed the “holy trinity”.
