Dua Lipa Covers Daft Punk’s ‘Get Lucky’ at Radical Optimism Tour Stop in France

Fans were in luck at Dua Lipa’s show in Lyon, France, on Friday (May 16).

During the second of two nights at the city’s LDLC Arena, the 29-year-old pop star delivered a fiery cover of Daft Punk’s 2013 hit “Get Lucky.”

Wearing a lacy red bodysuit, Lipa brought energy and flair to the funky track, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Daft Punk’s first top 5 hit. The original version, from the duo’s fourth album Random Access Memories, features Pharrell Williams on vocals and Nile Rodgers on guitar.

The cover carried extra significance, as Daft Punk’s Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter are both French natives.

This wasn’t the first surprise of her tour. At the opening show of the European leg in Madrid on May 11, Lipa performed a Spanish-language cover of Enrique Iglesias’ 2001 ballad “Hero,” delighting fans at the Movistar Arena.

The “Levitating” singer continues her Radical Optimism World Tour across Europe through May and June, with stops in Germany, France, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and the United Kingdom. She’ll also return to Pristina, Kosovo — her family’s homeland — in early August to headline her Sunny Hill Festival.

Lipa then heads to North America this fall, starting with two nights in Toronto on Sept. 1–2. She’ll tour across the U.S. through September and October, wrapping the North American leg with a second show at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on Oct. 16. South America and Mexico follow in the winter.

Lipa is touring in support of her third studio album, Radical Optimism, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in May 2024.
