In a fan-captured video, the star sent the crowd wild when she welcomed Melbourne local Vance Joy on stage to duet one of her “favourite songs” – his 2013 smash hit, Riptide.

Joy strummed the opening chords on his ukulele before launching into the iconic tune.

Lipa then joined in to sing the chorus with the rest of the crowd.

“Lady, runnin’ down to the riptide/ Taken away to the dark side/ I wanna be your left-hand man,” the first few lines of the chorus go.

Joy’s hit has sold more than one million copies since its release more than a decade ago.

They also performed an unreleased collaboration, a remix of Lipa’s hit Physical.

At one point, the duo went over to fans in the crowd with a USB, asking for someone who could leak the collaboration.

“You got the job done,” she later confirmed the fan’s success on X (formerly Twitter).
