Dua Lipa celebrates sold-out Aviva Stadium gig by ‘splitting the G' with fellow stars at Dublin pub
Lipa (29) let her hair down in a local pub with her well-known fiancé Callum Turner (35) and her team, including former Disney Channel star Dove Cameron (29), who supported her on stage.
Earlier this month, the three-time Grammy winner confirmed her engagement to actor Turner, who starred in Apple TV series Masters of the Air and the film franchise Fantastic Beasts.
Cameron's boyfriend Damiano David, the lead singer of Eurovision-winning band Måneskin, was also pictured enjoying the post-show celebrations.
Sharing photos and videos of her night-out with her almost 90 million followers on Instagram, Lipa wrote: '5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!'
The star shared videos of her successful attempt at the viral trend, which involves 'splitting the G' of the Guinness logo on the first sip of a pint, while popular local pizza spot Bambino supplied the food.
It is not the first time a global star has endorsed the business, with American rapper Lil Yachty wearing a Bambino t-shirt on stage at the 3Arena last month.
The crew also danced to trad music and the Don McClean classic 'American Pie' as Lipa posed for photos.
Her acclaimed Irish show marked the final stop on the European leg of her Radical Optimism tour, with Lipa performing her chart-topping hits like One Kiss, Levitating, Don't Start Now and New Rules.
'Dublin, you blow me away every time but last night was extra special!' she said, sharing photos from her gig on Instagram.
"Thank you for the warmest of welcomes in your beautiful city! We just played to a sold out Avivaaaaa Stadium!'
Her set also included a tribute to the late Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor, with Lipa performing a cover of O'Connor's iconic rendition of the Prince song Nothing Compares 2 U.
It came just days after American popstar Olivia Rodrigo paid tribute to another Irish act.
The Driver's Licence singer played a cover of Fontaines DC hit I Love You during a sold-out gig at Dublin's Marley Park on Tuesday.

Piers Morgan reveals secret Britain's Got Talent judge who was never seen on screen
Ant and Dec were not the original presenters - and it even had a different name she's got talent Piers Morgan reveals secret Britain's Got Talent judge who was never seen on screen PIERS Morgan opened up on what Britain's Got Talent might have looked like if the original format had gone ahead. The TV presenter, 60, became a household name in the U.S after agreeing to take on the role of the "meanie" judge on America's Got Talent in place of the show's creator, Simon Cowell. 4 Piers Morgan made a huge revelation about Britain's Got Talent Credit: Paul Edwards 4 He revealed that Fern Cotton was first lined up to be a judge Credit: Instagram 4 Fern was eventually replaced by Amanda Holden who was judge with Piers and Simon Cowell (R) Credit: Handout But before finding fame across the pond, Piers was meant to be a judge on the talent show in the U.K, long before the American version was made. Piers shared a vintage photo from the 2005 pilot of a show tested by ITV that would go on to become Britain's Got Talent, but looked very different indeed. In the photo posted to Instagram, Piers is sitting at the judges' desk alongside then host of This Morning, Fern Cotton, and music mogul, Simon Cowell. Piers revealed the late Paul O'Grady was meant to host the show and it was named after him, but it fell through when the late TV star fell out with ITV. "Another amazing pic from my past, also randomly posted on X by someone yesterday.. This one is truly historic… it was the first ever panel assembled for the Got Talent franchise anywhere in the world," Piers began in the caption. "Simon Cowell had come up with the idea of a new talent show, ITV ordered a pilot episode to be filmed, and cast Simon, me and Fern Britton (then presenting This Morning) as the judges." Piers continued:" It was hosted by the late, great Paul O'Grady.. and called 'Paul O'Grady's Got Talent'. The acts sat in the audience and came down onto the stage when it was their turn to perform." He described the format as "hysterical" and how ITV was ready to give it the green light, but then "shelved it" after the row with Paul. "However, Simon isn't one of life's quitters, and a few weeks later he texted me to say he'd sold the rights to NBC in the U.S., they wanted to repackage it as 'America's Got Talent', and he wanted me as a judge on it to play the tough meanie role because he was committed to American Idol so couldn't do it," Piers added. "(He said, 'Piers, I need someone as arrogant, obnoxious and judgemental as me, and your name has immediately sprung to mind!')." Piers Morgan's ex wife left 'fighting for her life' after freak accident as son Spencer reveals hospital pics Piers continued:" A month later, I was on the Paramount movie lot in Hollywood, with a trailer next to David Hasselhoff's, and we started filming @agt." The journalist described America's Got Talent as "an instant smash hit No1 summer show in America" to which he owes his "entire and I owe my entire 20-year career over in the States" for. Piers concluded: "The following year @bgt launched in the UK but with Amanda Holden replacing Fern. That was also a No1 smash hit, and Got Talent has now aired in 69 countries, becoming one of the most successful television franchises in history. And it all started with this pic." Before his death, Paul had confirmed that he'd been lined up to host the show, but hated the original name. He said: "I did the pilot for Britain's Got Talent – which was originally going to be called Paul O'Grady's Got Talent. But I told the producers they were having a joke if they thought I would front a show with that title. "The original panel of judges was going to be Simon Cowell, Fern Britton and Piers Morgan. I was the host. Then when I had the row with ITV I was banned from the studios." 4 Piers credited America's Got Talent with launching his stateside career Credit: Alamy

‘Hard to believe' – Shane Lowry & wife Wendy stunned as youngest daughter reaches major life milestone
Over the weekend Shane suffered a blow surrounding next month's Ryder Cup LOW WAY 'Hard to believe' – Shane Lowry & wife Wendy stunned as youngest daughter reaches major life milestone SHANE and Wendy Lowry were both left a little stunned as their youngest daughter departed for her first day of school. The particularly early start is owing to them being based in Florida with the US school calendar quite different from the typical Irish equivalent. 3 They were back in Ireland last month to celebrate Wendy's birthday with loved ones Credit: @wendyirislowry 3 Ivy Lowry left for school alongside older sister Iris Credit: @wendyirislowry 3 The setting for Wendy's stylish birthday party was House Dublin on Leeson Street Credit: @shanelowrygolf That partly played into both of Ivy Lowry's parents being a bit taken aback as her first day of primary/elementary school arrived. Wendy captioned the above pic: "Hard to believe Ivy's off to school." Shane later reposted her photo on his own Instagram account. Over the weekend the Clara native suffered a blow in his quest for an automatic Ryder Cup place. He slumped to 59th from the 69-strong field at the opening FedEx Cup play-off in Memphis. Justin Rose claimed victory at the St Jude Championship after a tense three-hole play-off victory over American JJ Spaun. Tommy Fleetwood's long wait for a PGA Tour win continued after he finished third with the Southport native left kicking himself after holding a five-stroke lead through 36 holes. 45-year-old Rose carded a stunning run of four birdies in the closing five holes at TPC Southwind before prevailing in the play-off. But his victory didn't bring much good news for Lowry as permutations worked against the 2019 Open winner. Heading into last week, he was fifth on the Ryder Cup Team Europe rankings - with only the top six qualifying automatically for next month's team event. And now after Lowry's poor showing and Rose's triumph, along with a decent showing for Austria's Sepp Straka, the 38-year-old has slumped to number seven on the qualification table. Dan Burn enjoys day of golf ahead of Newcastle's Prem season getting underway While Lowry would be expected to earn one of the six captain's picks that Luke Donald will have available, he's facing a nervy few weeks after several of his European pals pushed him outside the automatic qualifying spots. His form may come as a huge worry to the European skipper. He's slumped ten places on the OWGR ladder after finishing T2 at the Truist Championship in May. And as a result of their strong showing at the FedEx St Jude, Rose and Fleetwood now join Rory McIlroy as the only three players to have officially sealed automatic qualification for the Bethpage Black match-up against Team USA. SILVER LINING But there's a silver lining for Lowry as he's already into this week's BMW Championship at Caves Valley GC. The field is down to just the top 50 in the FedEx Cup standings ahead of the season's finale that will see only the top 30 progress to the Tour Championship at East Lake. And time is on his side until after the PGA Tour regular season ends as the final event for Ryder Cup points will be at the Betfred British Masters. That one concludes on August 24. As for Keegan Bradley's American side, 2025 US Open champion JJ Spaun also sealed an automatic qualification place after his runner-up finish in Memphis. The Californian now joins Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele on the team as they cannot mathematically drop outside the top six on the USA ladder.

New play explores complexities of Irish culture in Harrow
A NEW play which explores the complexities of Irish culture will run at a theatre fringe festival this weekend. Blessed in Harrow will take place within the Boiler House Festival line up at Harrow Arts Centre in North London. The annual event, which was created after Greater London Authority (GLA) funding allowed for the conversion of the Centre's old boiler house into a new creative space, takes place across the month of August. 'We programme innovative and original performances every week from up-and-coming talent from Harrow and beyond,' the organisers explain. Produced by London-based Irish poet and playwright Margaret Rochford, whose roots lie in Co. Kerry, Blessed in Harrow highlights the many nuances of Irish culture through of an extensive group of characters. 'What is it that compels a group of Irish dancers, dreamers, chancers, storytellers, nurses, booksellers, strummers, musicians, plumbers, singers, poets, bellringers, ornithologists, lovers, cosmologists; all to gather in The Boiler House, to rearrange their reasons, to come and count their blessings in Harrow?' the organisers say of the play. 'Join us for an evening exploring Irish culture in Harrow,' they add. This show is part of Harrow Council's Diamond Anniversary Programme. 'We are excited to welcome various themed acts to celebrate Harrow's diverse culture, history and arts landscape for our 2025 edition," a spokesperson for Harrow Arts Centre said.
