'Radical Optimism' on stage: Dua Lipa lights up Chase Center

Dua Lipa’s second Bay Area show proved both electrifying and intimate, featuring sharp choreography and a surprise duet with Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong.

When the lights dimmed at San Francisco’s Chase Center, the air felt charged with anticipation for the “Radical Optimism” Tour. The crowd was on its feet as the first bass notes pulsed through the arena with wave imagery on the backdrop.
