Dua Lipa‘s performance at Madrid’s Mad Cool festival last night packed such an emotional punch that fans who had been moved to tears were captured on video screens as she launched into 2015 hit ‘Be The One’.
The London-born singer returned their emotion, earnestly thanking the crowd for “dancing and singing along already” early in her set. Later, she added: “Madrid, you look great tonight,”
She triumphed over what could have been a tricky piece of scheduling – playing immediately after the festival’s two adjacent main stages had featured significantly heavier performances from Queens of the Stone Age, Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails.
