Dua Lipa brought out music royalty during her second and final show in New Zealand for the ‘Radical Optimism’ tour on Friday night.
Australia got the likes of Kevin Parker and Troye Sivan, and at her show in New Zealand on Friday night (April 5th), the UK popstar brought out none other than local legend, Neil Finn.
The Crowded House frontman was introduced on stage at a sold out Spark Arena to perform the band’s 1986 classic, “Don’t Dream It’s Over”. Check out some footage of the performance below.
Lipa has made a habit of either being joined on stage by local talent or covering tracks from some of the country’s favourite artists.

At the first Auckland performance, Lipa covered Lorde‘s luxury fantasy hit “Royals”, after welcoming Parker to the stage in Sydney to perform Tame Impala’s “The Less I Know the Better”. Lipa previously performed “Rush” with Sivan and “Riptide” with Vance Joy. Like with “Royals,” not every cover has been accompanied by a special guest. Lipa went solo for her renditions of classics from INXS, Kylie Minogue, and AC/DC.
“3 weeks away, 10 unbelievable, unforgettable nights! Loved every moment with youuuu AUS/NZ ,” Lipa wrote on Instagram.
