Dua Lipa brought out surprise guest Nile Rodgers to perform Chic ’s “Le Freak” Saturday at New York’s Madison Square Garden as the singer continued the Radical Optimism Tour’s tradition of playing local covers at every concert.
Saturday marked Lipa’s third of four nights at the World’s Most Famous Arena; her previous shows at MSG featured covers of New York staples Alicia Keys (“No One”) and Blondie (“ One Way or Another “). She upped the ante for the third gig, welcoming the legendary Rodgers himself onstage to play guitar on the Number One disco-funk hit:
“Here in New York, I’m actually spoiled with the choice,” Lipa told the crowd prior to covering Blondie earlier this week. Lipa’s MSG run concludes Sunday night with no shortage of New York artists still available to cover.
