Dua Lipa and Kevin Parker Collaborate
Dua Lipa was brought out by Kevin Parker from Tame Impala for the cover “The Less I Know, The Better” during his show in Sydney.
The duet occurred midway through the set when Lipa exclaimed: “I can sing one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite artists,” just before Parker joined her on stage. Together, they performed the 2015 hit.
Previous Collaborations
Lipa and Parker have collaborated before, as he was one of the primary producers on her latest album “Radical Optimism.” This was not their first duet; Lipa previously featured Parker during her headlining slot at last year’s Glastonbury festival, where they sang together multiple times.

In an interview Keeper published in July, Parker reflected on this noteworthy moment, stating it was “much more wild than I thought it would be.”
“The most pleasant thing was that it was Dua headlining Glastonbury, something she dreamed of doing as a child,” he remarked. “I felt like I was part of a dream – I was just happy to be there.”
Dua Lipa’s Upcoming Tours
Lipa’s Australian tour supports “Radical Optimism,” during which she recently performed “I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” by Kylie Minogue, “Torn” by Natalie Imbruglia, and “Hell to Hell” by Hell.
Parker isn’t the only Australian guest to join Lipa; Wans Joy recently collaborated with her on a cover of “Riptide” during one of her shows in Melbourne, while Troye Sivan joined her for their duet “Rush.”
This summer, Lipa will head to the UK for more exciting performances, kicking off with two major concerts at Wembley Stadium in London (June 20-21), followed by two dates at Enfield Stadium in Liverpool on June 24 and 25.

In other news regarding Dua Lipa, she won a trial that accused her of copying her 2020 hit “Levitating” from two other songs. Back in 2022, songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer filed a lawsuit, claiming Lipa plagiarized their songs “Wiggle” and “Higgle All Night” from 1979 and 1980 while creating “Levitating.”
According to Billboard on March 27, US Judge Katherine Paul Fayl dismissed the lawsuit, noting that the similarities between Lipa’s track and those of Brown and Linzer only involved common traits along with unprotected musical elements previously utilized by Mozart and the Bee Gees in their 1977 hit “Stay.”
