See Dua Lipa Bring Out Troye Sivan to Perform ‘Rush’ at Melbourne Concert

Singer continues trend of covering “a local artist” on Down Under tour, this time with a little help

Dua Lipa continued her trend of covering Australian artists during her tour Down Under Saturday night, this time bringing out Perth’s own Troye Sivan for a duet of his hit “Rush.”

“So this next song in the set is different every night,” Dua Lipa told the Melbourne crowd, adding it’s when she performs a song “by a local artist.” “And so tonight, I thought it would be a big mistake if I didn’t play one of my favorite, favorite artists who’s also a friend of mine.”

The singer continued, “This is a song I’ve been listening to for a really long time — I mean, 2023 until now — but this is a Saturday night banger, so I think it’s going to be a fun one.”

Lipa then launched into “Rush,” with Sivan making a surprise entrance during the performance without introduction.

Previously during the Australian leg of her Radical Optimism tour, Lipa has covered AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn,” and Kylie Minogue’s “Can’t Get You Out of My Head.”

The singer next performs Sunday night in Melbourne to close out her five-night stand in the city before the trek moves to Sydney, giving her four more opportunities to cover Aussie artists, perhaps like Tame Impala (a Radical Optimism collaborator who she has already covered onstage), INXS, Sia, and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
