When Dua Lipa’s electrifying Glastonbury Festival headline performance lit up the iconic Pyramid Stage last year, it was undeniable that the British-Albanian pop star’s ascent had not finished.

With a newly crowned No. 1 album in the Kevin Parker-produced Radical Optimism — which earned her the achievement of biggest opening week by a British female artist since Adele’s 30 in 2021 — and charting singles “Houdini,” “Training Season” and “Illusion,” the three-time Grammy winner proved herself capable of commanding one of music’s most important stages while demonstrating that no dream was too big for her to manifest — the positive (and clearly effective) manifestation method she credits for getting her there in the first place.

Yet before the tents had even been dismantled on Somerset’s Worthy Farm, she was already plotting her bold next move which would take the Radical Optimism tour to bigger and better stages around the world.

“There came a point in the year where I was thinking, ‘I’ve got to sit down and write some new dreams and new plans,’” she told Billboard U.K. last year. “I feel like I ticked so many of my boxes this year.”

Still “flying high” from Glastonbury, she announced a show at London’s 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium, which sold out in a matter of minutes. Huge demand led to a second night, which swiftly followed suit. Kicking off her U.K. and Ireland run during the hottest week of the year, the final days of June will also see Lipa play stadiums in Liverpool and Dublin before she embarks on a U.S. arena run in the autumn. 

Here are the nine best moments from Dua Lipa’s show at Wembley Stadium on Friday (June 20).
