Overview

• Lipa brought out Nile Rodgers on Saturday, September 20, during the third of four New York shows to perform Chic’s 1978 disco hit “Le Freak.”
• The guest spot aligned with her Radical Optimism World Tour practice of honoring each stop with a locally rooted cover.
• Earlier MSG dates in the run featured tributes to New York artists with Alicia Keys’ “No One” and Blondie’s “One Way or Another.”
• The tour’s cross‑generational collaborations have included Chaka Khan in Chicago, Jamiroquai’s Jay Kay and Charli XCX at Wembley, Neil Finn in Auckland, Kevin Parker in Sydney, and Dave McCabe in Liverpool.
• The North American leg wraps its four-night MSG stint on Sunday before moving on to Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, then continuing to South America and Mexico.
