Pop superstar Dua Lipa continues to make her Radical Optimism tour unforgettable, this time with a surprise duet that thrilled fans in Auckland, New Zealand.
During her April 4th show at Spark Arena, Lipa brought out Neil Finn, the legendary frontman of Crowded House, to perform the band’s timeless 1986 hit, “Don’t Dream It’s Over.”
“Tonight feels a bit life-shifting for me because I get to do one of my favorite songs ever by a Kiwi legend,” Lipa told the crowd before welcoming Finn onstage.
The emotional moment was captured in a video shared by the official Crowded House HQ on Instagram, with fans flooding the comments in awe of the magical pairing. One user wrote, “Wow, wow, wow. The crowd reaction when you walked on stage drew me to tears!”
This isn’t the first time Dua Lipa has paid tribute to legendary artists during her tour. Her setlists have included covers of Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn,” AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” and Lorde’s “Royals.”
Just last week, in Sydney, she also surprised fans by bringing out Kevin Parker of Tame Impala to perform their hit “The Less I Know the Better.”
With each stop, Dua Lipa continues to bridge musical generations, creating unforgettable experiences for fans and celebrating iconic artists along the way.
