Kevin Parker joined Dua Lipa onstage at her Sydney “Radical Optimism Tour” show on Friday night for a duet of Tame Impala’s 2015 hit “The Less I Know the Better.”
The performance arrived midway through Lipa’s set, and she introduced Parker by saying “I get to sing one of my favorite songs ever with one of my favorite artists.” Parker then took the stage, and he and Lipa traded lines from the song and sang several moments together. Watch social clips of the guest performance below.
Parker and Lipa are close collaborators, with Parker serving as one of the primary producers and songwriters on Lipa’s 2024 album, Radical Optimism. Meanwhile, Lipa has been busting out quite a few covers so far on her “Radical Optimism Tour,” and is specifically honoring Aussie artists for this leg of the tour: So far, she’s provided renditions of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn,” and on night one in Sydney, covered INXS’ “Never Tear Us Apart.”
