Dua Lipa kicked off her Radical Optimism tour last week, with five shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena.

On the first night of the Australian leg of tour, she performed AC/DC’s "Highway To Hell". The subsequent nights saw her perform covers of Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn"; "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" by Kylie Minogue; and also invited Vance Joy on stage to perform his 2013 single, "Riptide".

The penultimate night was made just a little bit more special, as she invited "one of [her] favourite artists ever, who's also a friend" – Troye Sivan – on stage to perform "Rush" from his third studio album, Something To Give Each Other.

Following this, the pair entered the crowd with a USB, trying to find one lucky fan who would be willing to leak something for them. This turned out to be a collaboration of the duo performing "Physical" – the 2020 track taken from Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia album.

It has been reported that the track was recorded in 2021 with the intention of being a US-only single, but her label refused to release it, because they wanted to aim for Dua Lipa to record with a bigger artist.
