3x GRAMMY and 7x BRIT Award-winning global pop powerhouse Dua Lipa has kicked off the Australia/New Zealand leg of her highly anticipated 55+ date Radical Optimism Tour, unveiling all-new production and an expanded setlist. The performance marked the first of her five-night run in the city before heading to multiple nights in Sydney and Auckland. In honor of Australia's very own AC/DC, she seamlessly wove in a surprise cover of "Highway To Hell" which you can watch below.
Complete with a dynamic new stage and dreamy, vibrant visuals, Dua opened the show with “Training Season” and “End Of An Era” from her third studio album, Radical Optimism, before continuing with fan-favorite hits from her catalog like “Break My Heart” and “One Kiss.” In honor of Australia’s very own AC/DC, she seamlessly wove in a surprise cover of “Highway To Hell” and followed it up with a stripped-back rendition of the Radical Optimism deep cut, “Maria.” Ahead of the show’s final act, while surrounded by a ring of fire, Dua ascended into the air performing “Love Again” and “Anything For Love,” and later, she closed out the show with her chart-topping hits “Don’t Start Now” and “Houdini,” delivering an electrifying finale for the packed crowd.
