A London-bound plane passenger captured the climactic end of a Dua Lipa concert from thousands of feet above Wembley Stadium, offering a rare and awe-inspiring perspective of the event.
The viral moment, filmed by Jim Molyneux (@jimmolyneux2), shows a nighttime descent into Heathrow Airport with a sweeping aerial view of London. As the camera lingers over Wembley, a cascade of flashing lights and a sudden burst of fireworks illuminates the iconic venue, marking the finale of the Grammy-winning artist’s performance.
Text overlaid on the video, which was posted on June 23 and has since amassed more than 420,000 views, reads: “When you’re coming into land at Heathrow and you catch the end of Dua Lipa’s show at Wembley Stadium.”
The caption continues with a prompt, “Wait for it,” building anticipation until the fireworks erupt, lighting up the London skyline.
Dua Lipa performed two shows at Wembley Stadium on June 20 and 21 as part of her live tour, attracting thousands of fans to one of the largest and most-iconic music venues in the United Kingdom. The end-of-show fireworks, a staple of her live performances, were visible from miles away—though few likely enjoyed a view as unique as the one from Molyneux’s airplane seat.
‘Crazy’
Molyneux’s in-flight view of Wembley has reminded many of the wonder that comes with air travel—not just as a means of transportation, but also as a window into unforgettable moments.
From thousands of feet in the air, what might have been a routine descent into Heathrow became an accidental ticket to one of the biggest live shows in London.
The TikTok post quickly generated excitement in the comments section, with viewers reacting to the unexpected view of the concert.
“Now that is a different POV [point of view],” wrote user tabbylouise. Another viewer, Lizzy, added: “Wowww this is so incredible and cool. my sister went to see this too xx.”
For fans who attended the concert, the video struck a particularly emotional chord.
“The fact I was in there at that moment makes me feel very insignificant and small seeing this video,” wrote Indigo07.
User pickle jack echoed the sentiment: “ahahah i was there and this video makes me happy.”
Adam commented, “EVERYONE WENT CRAZY FOR THE ENDING!!!!” while tanglewood called it the “best part of the show the end.”
