See Dua Lipa Bring Out Jamiroquai to Perform 'Virtual Insanity' in London
Lipa kicked off her U.K. tour last week at London's Wembley Stadium by performing Jamiroquai's 'Virtual Insanity' with help from that group's singer Jay Kay. The following night at the same venue, she brought out Charli XCX for a rendition of that singer's '360.'
The tour then shifted to Liverpool, where Lip performed the Zutons' 'Valerie' — popularized by Amy Winehouse' — with the group's singer Dave McCabe. The next show, in the birthplace of the Beatles, Lipa covered the Fab Four's 'Hey Jude.'
Dua Lipa's Australian and New Zealand tour — where her regional covers trend started — saw the singer perform the likes of AC/DC, Lorde, and Kylie Minogue, while also bringing out guests like Troye Sivan, Tame Impala, and Crowded House's Neil Finn. The local covers have continued — though less frequently — as the tour headed to Europe, with Lipa covering Enrique Iglesias' 'Hero' in Madrid.

Mickey Hart on Dead's 60th Anniversary Shows: ‘I Saw Jerry and Phil and Pigpen Hovering'
Following Dead & Company's epic weekend at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, Mickey Hart shared a poignant reflection of the 60th anniversary shows. 'This weekend was 3 days of coming home and in those final moments of the weekend, it was truly profound,' he wrote on Instagram. 'I saw 60,000 people sparking light, in love, entrained big time and coming our way. Different than applause after a song, it sounded more like an ahhhhhh. All the peace and love in proximity generated a collective energy that was shared by all. Very rare stuff indeed.' More from Rolling Stone The World's Hardest Grateful Dead Quiz 'An Affirmation, Not a Protest': How the First Be-In Changed the World Listen to Dead & Company's San Francisco Concerts to Celebrate the Grateful Dead's 60th Anniversary Hart then took a moment to mention late members of the Dead, including Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh, plus lyricist Robert Hunter and longtime roadie Ramrod (Laurence Shurtliff). 'I saw Jerry and Phil and Pigpen hovering over the crowd smiling like Cheshire cats,' he said. 'I saw Hunter and Ramrod through the beauty of the fog and lights.' He added: 'In the final moments of the weekend standing right next to Bob [Weir] and feeling the raw emotion coming our way from our fans, I felt Bob's heartbeat, along with mine, and the deep connection we have with all of you. All the years combine. They melt into a dream.' The Dead & Company shows featured special guest appearances from Trey Anastasio ('Scarlet Begonias' and 'Fire on the Mountain'), Sturgill Simpson ('Morning Dew'), Grahame Lesh (several songs, including his dad's 'Box of Rain' on Friday), and Billy Strings ('Wharf Rat'). 'No matter how many shows we play as a band, I will always be a guest in this musical world, and I'll never lose sight of what is the great honor of my life,' John Mayer said, following the three-night run. Next up, Deadheads can look forward to seeing 1977's The Grateful Dead Movie in IMAX this month, while a 50th anniversary deluxe edition of Blues for Allah arrives in September. 'If you hang in there long enough, people start paying attention to you,' Weir told us earlier this year. 'I guess if I ever have grandkids, they'll probably take me a bit more seriously. But really, I'm the same guy. I still have to get out of bed in the morning, and my back's cranky. Nothing much has changed.'

60 Years Ago Today: The Beatles Played the First-Ever Major Stadium Rock Concert
60 Years Ago Today: The Beatles Played the First-Ever Major Stadium Rock Concert originally appeared on Parade. Six decades ago, the loudest sound in New York wasn't a jet overhead—it was 55,600 fans screaming for four guys from Liverpool. On August 15, 1965, The Beatles walked onto a stage planted over second base at Shea Stadium and made music history. It was the first major stadium rock concert, the night Beatlemania scaled up to sports-arena size, and the blueprint for every mega-tour that came after. Fast forward to today, the New York Mets are honoring that milestone with The Beatles Night at Citi Field as they host the Seattle Mariners. The celebration includes a pregame set by tribute band 1964 The Tribute at the Shea Bridge starting at 6:15 p.m., a Shea Stadium replica for the first 15,000 fans, and a Beatles-soundtracked fireworks show after the game. Even members of the 1965 gameday staff are returning to throw out the first pitch. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Back in '65, the idea of a rock band filling a baseball stadium was untested. Promoter Sid Bernstein booked it anyway, selling tickets for about $4.50 to $5.65. The gamble paid off. The Beatles, made up of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, brought in roughly $304,000 (pocketing $160,000), which Bernstein proudly called 'the greatest gross ever in the history of show business.' Introducing them that night was Ed Sullivan, the TV host who had famously introduced the band to America a year earlier, declaring, 'Honored by their country, decorated by their Queen, and loved here in America… here are The Beatles!' The setlist was short by today's standards—just 12 songs including 'Twist and Shout,' 'Ticket to Ride,' 'A Hard Day's Night,' and 'Help!'—but it hardly mattered. In a 2015 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Starr recalled that the band 'couldn't hear [themselves]' over the wall of screaming fans, who 'just screamed until we bowed and left.' And the frenzy didn't stop when the music did. According to The Washington Post, the group had to be rushed off the field in a white station wagon driven by Shea groundskeeper Pete Flynn, then transferred to an armored truck to make their escape. Celebrities were in the stands too: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Marvin Gaye, plus future Beatles spouses Linda Eastman and Barbara Bach. The whole thing was filmed with 14 cameras and later aired as The Beatles at Shea Stadium, though several songs were overdubbed in post-production to fix the audio lost in the chaos. 🎤 SIGN UP for our The Voice newsletter to get access to exclusive news, interviews, insider info, sneak peeks & more 🎤 McCartney would later call it 'magic—just walls of people,' as he recalled in The Beatles Anthology. Lennon described it as 'the top of the mountain,' a line he repeated in multiple interviews about the Shea concert. In one night, they proved stadium concerts could work, paving the way for everyone from Elton John to Taylor Swift. 60 Years Ago Today: The Beatles Played the First-Ever Major Stadium Rock Concert first appeared on Parade on Aug 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dua Lipa's Ibiza Party Trick Is a Ridiculously Hard Yoga Pose
Where Dua Lipa goes, yoga tends to follow. Even, if you can believe it, when where she goes happens to be a paddleboard floating in the sea surround the Balearic Islands. To celebrate her forthcoming 30th birthday, Lipa has been in Ibiza with her now-not-so-sunburned fiancé Callum Turner and a crew of their closest friends and family. The trip to the island, so far, has included a seafood lunch at the exclusive, celebrity-favorite Jondal beach club, where tables were piled high with oysters, langoustines, and a chocolate, cherry, summer berries birthday cake for Lipa. Later, the crew all went to dance the night away at superclub DC10. All part of the fun? Splashing about in a yacht-filled harbour and attempting gravity-defying yoga poses at the same time. This vacation contains multitudes: good food, partying with pals 'til dawn, custom Jacquemus, and core-strengthening exercises. Photo: Backgrid Spotted doing a headstand (that's 'sirsasana' in Sanskrit) in a sparkly, double-layered burgundy and crystal bikini from Oséree, the pop star appeared just as proficient on a paddleboard as she is in a regular studio. As one follower put it in the comments: 'Has she ever had a bad day?' Lipa's skill is ridiculously impressive, but not all that surprising. On tour, she's documented how she makes time for yoga first thing in the morning—after she's taken her supplement cocktail, mind you. At home, she's shared snaps of yoga mats laid out for a weekend group class, too. Many of her stage outfits tend to expose her rock solid abs, and with a powerhouse voice like that, you can expect that some serious core work is going on behind the scenes. While we may not be able to gift you with the comparable core strength of Dua Lipa at the peak of her powers in Leo season, we can vouch for a solid yoga routine to benefit everything from your cortisol levels to your digestion. Will you be boat posing, doing the crow, or headstanding a la Dua this training season?
