Dua Lipa Brings Surprise Guest Charli XCX to the Stage for ‘360' in London

Brat Summer lived on at Wembley Stadium, where Dua Lipa welcomed Charli XCX to the stage for '360' Saturday night (June 21) at her second Wembley Stadium gig on the Radical Optimism Tour.
The 'Houdini' singer had the London stage lights set to neon green with Charli taking center beside her, fan-captured video from the concert shows.

'I thought I'd bring a friend out,' Dua Lipa teased the crowd on Saturday before the pair performed 2024's Brat album opener together. 'Let me tell you, she is the biggest brat I have ever known.'
Charli's appearance at Wembley night two follows a surprise on night one from Jamiroquai, who joined Dua Lipa on Friday for a live rendition of 'Virtual Insanity,' the English act's breakthrough single that earned a Grammy for best pop vocal performance by a duo a group in 1998, and a video of the year award at the MTV VMAs the year prior. At Friday's show, Dua Lipa told that crowd she'd invited someone who'd 'really inspired me from the moment that I started making music' and has 'been a trailblazer for British music.'
The two-night residency marked Dua Lipa's first time headlining Wembley, a 90,000-capacity venue.
The two sold-out concerts were made even more momentous for the British-Albanian pop star by a good-luck letter from the Spice Girls.
'Dear Dua,' read the card, which the singer shared in an Instagram slideshow, 'We just wanted to wish you lots of luck with your sold out shows at Wembley Stadium … that's Girl Power!! We love you! The Spice Girls xxxxx.'
Dua Lipa — whose Radical Optimism debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 upon its release in May 2024 — next performs in Liverpool, headlining Anfield Stadium for two nights (June 24-25), and then Dublin for one night at Aviva Stadium (June 27). The Radical Optimism Tour will make it to North America with an arena run beginning in September.

Crowds gather for Totton Carnival as it marks 120 years

Balloons, colourful ribbons and smiles from ear to ear were all on show at the Totton Carnival 2025 despite fears that it could be the last one. The Totton Carnival has been a staple of the town for around 120 years with floats from charities, schools and community groups being greeted by hundreds of people who lined the streets of Totton to cheer on the annual parade. Despite the fun at the event, coupled with the glorious sunshine, some were a little downbeat that this could be the last Totton Carnival after more than a century due to a lack of volunteers. Ann Page, 69, and Helen Chant, 56, from the Totton and Eling Community Association have been creating and designing their trailer and costumes for more than six weeks. Helen Chant, Charlotte Orchard and Ann Page (Image: NQ) Helen, a Totton resident for more than 25-years, said: "We have so many organisations taking part today - there are dance schools, scout groups, charities and community groups like ourselves. "We then parade through the town on the back of our trailers for all the residents to enjoy. "Our team have put a huge amount of work into today. We have handmade everything using what time we have after work and at the weekend." Floats paraded the Totton streets (Image: NQ) Ann has been taking part in the Totton carnival since she was four-years-old. READ MORE: Kate Nash 'superfan' from Southampton dies at just 22 She said: "The carnival is fantastic but it needs more support if its going to happen again next year. "Without the carnival we would loose our community spirit. Totton is a really big town and we need community events just like the carnival. it brings people together and puts smiles on faces." Gill Knighton is the chairman for the Totton Carnival and has had to do much of the work herself. Gill Knighton (Image: NQ) She said: "Its taken a whole year just to pull all of this together - this year marks 120 years - and if volunteers don't come forward this really could be the last one. "I'm looking for eight to 14 volunteers for our committee who can get in touch with us on our Facebook page. We have all sorts of different jobs that need doing and it would be devastating if we could not do this again." The floats and trailers started the carnival at the AFC Totton ground on Saturday, June 21, then paraded through Totton town centre and finished at Eling Recreational ground.
