Dua Lipa Covers AC/DC’s ‘Highway to Hell’ During Melbourne Show

Dua Lipa brought a bit of rock to her set as she tours down under.

The superstar took the stage at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday night (March 17), where she added a new song to her tour set — a cover of AC/DC’s 1979 classic, “Highway to Hell.” The tribute is fitting, as AC/DC are famous Australian natives. In fan videos from the show, Lipa is seen at the end of her stage, surrounded by her band, belting the lyrics and high notes effortlessly.

Earlier this month, it was announced that Lipa sold out the Australian leg of her global Radical Optimism Tour. The singer will remain in the country for just two weeks, with five nights scheduled for the Rod Laver Arena, and a further three at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena. Lipa will then jet over to New Zealand for two sold-out dates at Auckland’s Spark Arena in early April.

Lipa’s Australian visit mark her first live dates of 2025 and take place in support of her third album, 2024’s Radical Optimism, which peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The record also spawned her single “Houdini”, which took out top dance/electronic song at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards.

The pop superstar also kicked off 2025 with a new collaboration, appearing as a guest on JENNIE’s “Handlebars,” off the BLACKPINK singer’s freshly released debut solo LP, Ruby.
