A London-bound plane passenger captured the climactic end of a Dua Lipa concert from thousands of feet above Wembley Stadium, offering a rare and awe-inspiring perspective of the event.
The viral moment, filmed by Jim Molyneux (@jimmolyneux2), shows a nighttime descent into Heathrow Airport with a sweeping aerial view of London. As the camera lingers over Wembley, a cascade of flashing lights and a sudden burst of fireworks illuminates the iconic venue, marking the finale of the Grammy-winning artist's performance.
Text overlaid on the video, which was posted on June 23 and has since amassed more than 420,000 views, reads: "When you're coming into land at Heathrow and you catch the end of Dua Lipa's show at Wembley Stadium."
The caption continues with a prompt, "Wait for it," building anticipation until the fireworks erupt, lighting up the London skyline.
Dua Lipa performed two shows at Wembley Stadium on June 20 and 21 as part of her live tour, attracting thousands of fans to one of the largest and most-iconic music venues in the United Kingdom. The end-of-show fireworks, a staple of her live performances, were visible from miles away—though few likely enjoyed a view as unique as the one from Molyneux's airplane seat.
'Crazy'
Molyneux's in-flight view of Wembley has reminded many of the wonder that comes with air travel—not just as a means of transportation, but also as a window into unforgettable moments.
From thousands of feet in the air, what might have been a routine descent into Heathrow became an accidental ticket to one of the biggest live shows in London.
The TikTok post quickly generated excitement in the comments section, with viewers reacting to the unexpected view of the concert.
"Now that is a different POV [point of view]," wrote user tabbylouise. Another viewer, Lizzy, added: "Wowww this is so incredible and cool. my sister went to see this too xx."
For fans who attended the concert, the video struck a particularly emotional chord.
"The fact I was in there at that moment makes me feel very insignificant and small seeing this video," wrote Indigo07.
User pickle jack echoed the sentiment: "ahahah i was there and this video makes me happy."
Adam commented, "EVERYONE WENT CRAZY FOR THE ENDING!!!!" while tanglewood called it the "best part of the show the end."
Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via TikTok. This video has not been independently verified.

Keegan Bradley Shows Poetic Flair Days after Travelers Win
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Keegan Bradley is an emotional guy. You can see it whenever he talks about the Ryder Cup or his beloved New England Patriots. You could see it last Sunday when he won the Travelers Championship, his first title of the season. In fact, you can see it right now if you scroll through his X account. A couple of days after his spectacular performance at the TPC River Highlands, Bradley used his X account, which has over 408,000 followers, to celebrate his triumph with a poetic note — sort of an ode to his New England roots. "Forgive my northern attitude Oh, I was raised out in the cold If the sun don't rise 'Til the summertime Forgive my northern attitude Oh, I was raised on little light" Forgive my northern attitude Oh, I was raised out in the cold If the sun don't rise 'Til the summertime Forgive my northern attitude Oh, I was raised on little light@NoahKahan — Keegan Bradley (@Keegan_Bradley) June 24, 2025 If you recognize these Noah Kahan lyrics, you're on the right track to understanding Bradley's feelings. Kahan is well-known for his love of New England, particularly his home state of Vermont, which is also where the eight-time PGA Tour winner was born. These sentiments are undoubtedly one of the defining themes in Kahan's work as a songwriter. Northern Attitude, the song that contains the lyrics Bradley used, is recognized as one of the most New England-rooted songs in Kahan's catalog. Winning a Signature Event as the hometown hero — the Travelers Championship is played in Connecticut — was definitely a big deal for Bradley. It's no wonder he unleashed his poetic flair by celebrating with a song so emblematic of that region. Naturally, the Travelers Championship has been a central feature of Bradley's schedule throughout his career. The 2025 edition is his second win at River Highlands, where he has two other top-10 finishes, including a second place, in 15 starts. "It was the first PGA Tour event I've ever been to back when I was a kid," Bradley said after winning for the first time (2023). "I drove from Vermont and drove here to come here and watch David Duval play... Other than the majors and those types of tournaments, this was always the top of my list. What a special thing to be the winner of this tournament."

Keegan Bradley of the United States reacts to his birdie putt on the 18th green during the final round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 22, 2025 in Cromwell, then, Bradley also seemed emotional about winning in New England. However, his reaction was more talkative than poetic: "One of my favorite things about myself is where I'm from. The bond that you have with people from New England is different than anywhere in the world, any country I've ever been. I'm very proud," he said. "I've lived all over New England, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and I'm very, very proud of where I come from. And I love every sports team in this area, so to hear the fans cheer for me like they would a sports team, it means a lot." Keegan Bradley will soon be leading the American team to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, not far from New England. He's sure to feel the fans' support there, too.

Influencer made lewd videos while pretending to be In-N-Out worker, CA lawsuit says
A social media influencer is being sued after he was accused of posting lewd and derogatory videos dressed as an employee of a popular restaurant chain. The federal lawsuit was filed by In-N-Out Burgers on June 20 in the Central District of California against Bryan Arnett. McClatchy News reached out to Arnett for comment June 24 but did not immediately hear back. Arnett is accused of impersonating an In-N-Out employee and posting videos to his social media accounts. In April, Arnett went to multiple In-N-Out locations in California, dressed as a worker with a fake uniform and recorded himself interacting with customers, according to a civil complaint. 'He made lewd, derogatory, and profane remarks, such as stating that In-N-Out had cockroaches and condoms in its food, and that In-N-Out associates put their feet in lettuce served to customers; offering food products 'doggy style'; and asking a potential customer whether the customer would sleep with his wife and allow Arnett to watch,' the lawsuit said. The lawsuit said Arnett went to the locations on Easter Sunday while the restaurants were closed, pretended to be a drive-thru associate and took customers' orders as a prank, filming them without their consent. He then posted the videos to his social media accounts and told viewers the restaurants were unsanitary and the business was 'not a welcoming or family-friendly establishment,' according to the complaint. 'In doing so, (Arnett) ensured that his remarks—from the purely defamatory to the lewd, unsettling and bizarre—did not come across as mere jokes by some unaffiliated prankster but instead reflected directly and negatively on In-N-Out,' the complaint said. In one video, Arnett told a customer, 'I like watching my wife sleep with other men. Is that something you would be interested in?' the lawsuit said. He told another customer the restaurant was 'only serving gay people' that day, according to the complaint. Arnett has 334,000 subscribers on YouTube, 276,000 followers on Instagram and 170,000 followers on Tik Tok with nearly 10 million likes. The lawsuit said Arnett 'benefits from posting videos on social media.' According to TikTok's Creator Rewards Program, eligible content creators are able to make money from posting videos. The restaurant is suing for federal trademark infringement, false designation of origin and disparagement, common law trademark infringement and unfair competition, business defamation and common law trespass. Several of the counts stem from Arnett wearing a fake In-N-Out uniform with the restaurant's logos and colors, the lawsuit said. The lawsuit is seeking an undetermined amount in damages.

Cody Rhodes Teases Major WWE Character Change
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Cody Rhodes has discussed the possibility of becoming a heel in WWE. He addressed the topic in a new interview with Kay Adams. There has been much talk about a potential character change for Rhodes. The Rock even lobbied for Rhodes to align with him earlier this year. How Cody Rhodes Fans Will Know It's Time Rhodes was asked how people would know it is time for him to turn. He said a true heel is someone the fans genuinely dislike. "You'll know because X and Instagram will hate it," Rhodes stated. "Because today, heels are like, oh, that's a cool heel." He explained his definition of a real bad guy in modern wrestling. It is not someone that fans think is cool. "If you're burying it and hate it and talking about how you don't want it on your TV, that's what an actual bad guy is," he said. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 20: Cody Rhodes is introduced before his match against John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 20, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 20: Cody Rhodes is introduced before his match against John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 20, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada.A Potential Timeline For Cody Rhodes' Heel Turn Adams then asked Rhodes for a timeline on a potential turn. Rhodes suggested fans still have plenty of time with him as a babyface. "I think you have a good solid year, maybe even three years, because I am not changing until I'm changed, if that makes any sense," he explained. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation He also referenced The Rock's previous suggestions. He acknowledged that The Rock may see a potential his character has that he does not. "If The Rock had it his way, I would have been changed already," Rhodes noted. "So I think he sees something that maybe I don't see, and that's a very smart individual. So maybe I follow his lead. Maybe not." Rhodes has a rich history as a heel. His first major run was in WWE as a member of The Legacy alongside Randy Orton, where he was a two-time tag team champion. He later found success with his narcissistic "Dashing" character, which evolved into the bitter, mask-wearing "Undashing" gimmick, during which he won the Intercontinental Championship. He then transformed into the bizarre Stardust, feuding with his brother Goldust and Stephen Amell. After leaving WWE, he fully embraced his "American Nightmare" persona on the independent circuit. As a member of the Bullet Club in ROH and NJPW, he was a top villain, capturing the ROH World Championship. During his time in AEW, he played a complex character; his refusal to officially turn heel, combined with grandiose entrances, led many fans to boo him, effectively casting him as an out-of-touch anti-hero.
