Earlier in the evening, Dua had already impressed with a show-stopping set that included hits like ‘Training Season’, ‘One Kiss’, ‘Levitating’, and ‘Maria’.
Dua previously brought out 1990s funk icon Jamiroquai on the first night as another surprise guest. She expressed admiration for the singer, describing him as “someone who really inspired me” and a musical trailblazer.
The pop star reflected on her journey from playing small venues to performing at Wembley. She told the crowd it felt “surreal” to headline such a prestigious venue, recalling that just ten years earlier she had performed for only 350 people in London.
Dua’s Wembley shows mark a high point in her Radical Optimism world tour.
