Dua Lipa closed the European leg of her Radical Optimism tour with a heartfelt nod to Irish icon Sinéad O’Connor. Performing in Dublin on June 27, 2025, the pop star included a moving rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U” to her setlist.
From a smaller stage extension surrounded by fans at Aviva Stadium, she introduced the classic track with a simple message:
“It’s such an honor to sing this song tonight. If you know the words, sing along.”
The song, originally written by Prince and made popular by Sinéad O’Connor in 1990, became a global hit and topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four weeks. The “Feel So Different” singer, who passed away in 2023, hailed from Dublin, a fact not lost on the emotional crowd.
This heartwarming tribute came after Dua Lipa brought Charli XCX to perform their collaboration “360.” Audiences witnessed another standout moment when Jamiroquai joined her on stage for a duet of his iconic track “Virtual Insanity.”
Further, Dua received a show of support from the Spice Girls, who celebrated her Wembley performance with a message of “That’s Girl Power!!”
Dua Lipa’s next stop is North America, where she will kick off the next leg of her tour in September, beginning with two shows in Toronto.
Dua Lipa wraps five sold-out stadium shows by “splitting the G”
Dua Lipa closed out a landmark run of five sold-out stadium concerts with a celebratory toast and heartfelt thanks. After performing before a packed crowd at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, the pop star headed to a local bar where she successfully completed the Irish tradition of “splitting the G” in a pint of Guinness.
The Guinness celebration came on the heels of her Radical Optimism tour, which saw the “Scared To Be Lonely” hitmaker perform back-to-back shows at Wembley Stadium and Anfield before closing in Dublin.
The setlist, featuring her hit tracks like “Be The One,” “IDGAF,” “Levitating,” “Houdini,” and more, was structured in four energetic acts with a final encore, earning both fan acclaim and critical praise.
Her fiancé, actor Callum Turner, was also part of the post-show festivities. The couple, engaged since December, 2024, joined friends at an afterparty at White City House in West London following her Wembley performances.
Dua later shared photos from the night, where she could be seen wearing a sheer black gown, captioned:
“Somehow managed to keep on dancing... adrenaline is one hell of a drug.”
Standing in front of 70,000 fans at Wembley was a full-circle moment for the singer, who stated:
“2 SOLD OUT NIGHTS AT WEMBLEY STADIUM!! I can hardly believe it. they were the most special, unforgettable shows I have ever done!!!.”
