Dua Lipa

After the success of her first album, Lipa returned to Kosovo in 2018 and cofounded the Sunny Hill music festival with her father. Lipa, Action Bronson, and Martin Garrix headlined the inaugural event, and local musicians, including her father’s band, ODA, performed. Lipa planned for the festival to become an annual event, and in 2019 it featured sets by Miley Cyrus and Calvin Harris. After being canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival returned in 2022 in both Pristina, Kosovo, and Tirana, Albania. The 2023 festival was canceled, although the event was scheduled to return in 2024.

In 2022 Lipa launched Service95, a platform comprising not only a website but also a weekly newsletter, the podcast Dua Lipa: At Your Service, and a book club. All four offer advice, recommendations, stories, and other forms of conversations.

Lipa made her film debut in 2023 playing Mermaid Barbie in the hit Barbie movie. She also released the single “Dance the Night” as a part of the film’s soundtrack; the single was nominated for two Grammys, including song of the year. That same year Lipa collaborated with Donatella Versace on a women’s summer collection called “La Vacanza.”
