Dua Lipa hits Wembley with Jamiroquai's Jay Kay, trades Houdini for funk nostalgia

On the first of her two Wembley Stadium dates, Dua Lipa enlists Jamiroquai’s Jay Kay for a surprise rendition of “Virtual Insanity,” a nod to ‘90s futurist funk amid a synthetic, stadium-sized pop landscape. She cites him as a “trailblazer” before they launch into the track, merging eras with polished choreography and retro grooves.

Lipa’s 21-song set sees her glide from radio staples like “Houdini” to liner notes deep cuts like “Maria,” while addressing the 70,000 audience with practiced awe, recalling her trajectory from a 350-person London gig a decade prior.
