Dua Lipa kicked off the latest leg of her Radical Optimism tour back in March in Melbourne. But besides the songs from her third studio album, she also kick-started singing covers every show throughout the tour, a plan she opened up to the Melbourne crowd on March 17. She addressed the audience at the show:

"To make my life a little bit harder, I thought, 'Why don't I do a new song every night?' Let's do a local artist in every place we're in."

Dua Lipa covered AC/DC's Highway to Hell on the first show, and over 50 shows in 16 countries later, she has performed 56 cover songs throughout her Radical Optimism tour. She also brought some of the artists she was covering to help her sing one of the biggest hits onstage.

Some of those who joined Dua Lipa onstage include Chaka Khan, Lionel Richie, Czech singer Ewa Farna, Lenny Kravitz, and more. Her own father, Dukagjin Lipa, also joined her onstage in Kosovo. He was originally from there, and they performed a song in Albanian.
