Bay Area music fans were treated to an electrifying weekend at Chase Center as international pop sensation Dua Lipa brought her Radical Optimism Tour to San Francisco. The 30-year-old Grammy Award winner delivered a powerhouse performance that showcased why she’s become one of the most dynamic artists of her generation.

Lipa’s 90-minute set was a high-energy spectacle featuring her chart-topping hits like “Dance the Night,” “Levitating,” and “Houdini,” backed by a troupe of ten dancers who transformed the stage into a vibrant dance party. Her vocal prowess was undeniable, proving she can deliver raw, unfiltered sound without relying on vocal tricks.

The shows were particularly memorable for local music enthusiasts, as Lipa paid homage to two iconic Bay Area musicians. On Saturday, she performed a stunning cover of Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart,” while Sunday’s performance featured a surprise appearance by Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, who joined her for a duet of “Wake Me When September Ends”.

Beyond the music, the production was a visual feast. Confetti cannons, pyrotechnics, and a dramatic moment where Lipa literally levitated on a suspended platform created an immersive experience that kept the packed venue on their feet.

This tour has been generating buzz across the country, with Lipa bringing surprise guest performers in different cities. At previous stops, she’s shared the stage with legends like Gwen Stefani, Lenny Kravitz, and Alicia Keys, continuing to prove her versatility and star power.

For fans who missed the shows, Lipa’s Radical Optimism Tour continues to demonstrate why she’s become a defining artist of her generation - blending musical talent, spectacular performance, and genuine musical respect for those who came before her.
