Dua Lipa Covers Lorde's 'Royals' in Auckland, Plans 2025 Latin American Tour

Dua Lipa continued her Oceania leg of the 'Radical Optimism Tour' with a notable cover of Lorde's hit 'Royals' during her concert in Auckland, New Zealand. This performance, held at Spark Arena, follows her previous successful covers of various Australian classics, including Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' and AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell'. Lipa has been known to feature surprise guests, such as Troye Sivan and Kevin Parker, in her shows, although her Auckland performance did not include any special guests. The cover of 'Royals' was a tribute to Lorde, whose debut single had significant impact on the music scene. Lipa's tour will continue with a final Auckland show before moving on to Europe and North America later in the year. Lorde, who has been teasing new music, last released her album 'Solar Power' in 2021.
