The 29-year-old pop star thrilled the roaring crowd of 70,000 when she introduced the British pop sensation, 32, with a cheeky shoutout. She said: 'So this next song, I thought I'd bring a friend out. Let me tell you, she is the biggest brat. Give it up for Charli XCX!' The pair then tore into Charli's infectious hit '360,' sending the energy through the roof as fans went wild for the unforgettable surprise duet. Throughout the night, Dua once again stunned in an array of dazzling outfits as she performed on the UK stage. Just the day before, she made an emotional arrival on stage as she broke down in tears while performing her first ever show at Wembley, thanking her fans for their support. Kicking off the first of her two nights at the venue, Dua then surprised her fans when she was joined by special guest Jamiroquai. Performing a number of her hits, she looked incredible in an embellished one-piece that she teamed with fishnet stockings. Dua completed her outfit with a pair of glittery knee-high heeled boots and a statement necklace, before also rocked a white lace jumpsuit for another bold look. She then slipped into a completely sheer blue gown with a thigh-high split, which she wore over matching underwear and teamed with stockings. The Be The One hitmaker added to her frame in chunky heels as she belted out her best-known hits, including One Kiss, Levitating, Training Season and Maria. She then brought out Jamiroquai, real name Jay Kay, as her surprise act of the evening as the 90s star, who is best known for hits Virtual Insanity and Cosmic Girl, joined her for one song. Bringing him out on stage, Dua gushed: 'This is someone who really inspired me when I first started out. 'Someone who I feel like is a massive trailblazer in music and has kind of paved the way.'

American singer Dove Cameron and English singer-songwriter Alessi Rose were the support acts took to the stage once again on the second night. Without missing her biggest hits, the British-Albanian songstress performed the likes of New Rules, Be The One and Barbie's Dance. Transforming the stadium into her own dance floor, Dua kicked off her concert with Training Season before pausing to say she was 'blown away,' and that it was 'surreal' to be performing at Wembley. She said: 'This is so surreal and so crazy. It means the absolute world to me that you are here tonight. 'It feels really really special to be here tonight. It is 10 years since our first ever London show to about 350 people and I just dreamt of a night like this where I get to be in front of 70,000 people.' After taking photos with the front row fans, Dua returned to the stage to perform These Walls before introducing the song that 'started everything'. She said: 'I want to take it back to the beginning a little bit. This song really kind of changed my life.' The singer added: 'This is the song that got me signed and it's the song that started everything and I feel like with weather like this, there is only one song that I could do. This is Hotter Than Hell.' Towards the end of the concert, Lipa returned to the hit songs that prompted her rise to fame, including 2016's Be The One, and her 2017 break-up anthem New Rules. A source told The Sun: 'Playing Wembley is a dream come true for Dua and to sell out both nights feels incredible. She's not even at the peak yet and has so much more she wants to achieve. 'To headlining stadiums with just three albums under her belt proves how influential her music has been. Her world tour has been a huge success. She's on cloud nine.' Dua was initially set to play just one show at the London venue on Friday 20 June 2025, as part of her Radical Optimism tour. But due to the phenomenal demand, the pop star stayed in the English capital for a second night to put on another performance. Speaking in an interview with Vogue this month, Dua said: 'That's definitely been a massive dream, and it's going to be quite surreal. You know, stadiums: that seems pretty scary. 'Adrenaline is an incredible drug can hear people screaming before I'm even on.' She added: 'That's when my heart starts racing. Moments before, I'm like: 'Oh, my God, we're doing this.' And I'm ready to go.' Dua admitted that as the venues she has played have got bigger she worries about being able to make the shows 'still feel intimate.' The hitmaker said she was planning to get up close and personal with her fans at Wembley Stadium. Dua is set to jump off the main stage and walk the full length of the crowd in a similar manner to her Glastonbury headline performance last year.
