Katy Perry and Dua Lipa at Sunny Hill Festival

Dua Lipa was snapped alongside fellow pop star Katy Perry as she gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes at Sunny Hill Festival after its opening night.

The Levitating singer, who co-founded the annual music festival with her family, looked in high spirits as she posed alongside fellow pop superstar Katy after the Firework singer wowed crowds with a headline performance at the event in Prishtina, Kosovo.

Taking to Instagram following the first day of the festival, Dua posted a carousel of photos capturing the vibe on and off stage. The singer could be seen smiling alongside Katy backstage, while other snaps showed her soaking up the atmosphere with friends.

Dua captioned her post paying tribute to Katy's headline set as well as DJ Seth Troxler, who also performed at the festival. She wrote: "DAY ONE @sunnyhillfestival !!!!!!! @katyperry took us to the moon and @stroxler kept us there see you tonight for round 2!!! "

Fans flooded the comments section, with many praising the star-studded line-up and sharing their excitement for the rest of the weekend. Sunny Hill Festival has grown into one of the biggest music events in Southeast Europe since launching in 2018 and has become a hugely important celebration for Kosovo.

The live music event was founded by Dua and her family through the Sunny Hill Foundation, with the aim of bringing world-famous artists to the country while showcasing Kosovo to an international audience.

Over the years, the festival has welcomed some of the biggest names in music, with previous performers including Calvin Harris, Miley Cyrus, Stormzy, Martin Garrix and Burna Boy.

This year's edition features another blockbuster line-up, with Katy just one of the top-billing the headline acts. The Teenage Dream singer's performance marked one of her first major festival appearances following the release of her latest music and recent world tour dates.

Dua appeared delighted to be partying with her friends

Dua has made Sunny Hill a permanent fixture in her calendar and is regularly spotted enjoying the performances alongside family and friends rather than staying behind the scenes. The singer, whose parents are originally from Kosovo, has long spoken about her pride in her heritage and has used the festival to shine a global spotlight on the country.

Dua recently married her partner Callum Turner with the pair tying the knot in London before heading to Sicily, Italy for a star-studded second bash.

In a very celeb move, the pair married at Old Marylebone Town Hall - a tradition favoured by stars such as Liam Gallagher, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Jude Law, Sean Bean and Claudia Winkleman, who have all got married there over the years.

Instead of a traditional bridal gown, the bride opted for a white blazer over a matching dress, paired with white gloves and a huge white hat. While groom Callum wore a navy suit for the special occasion.

Dua runs the festival with her family

But Dua and Callum were always going to have a huge bash once the legal part in London was sorted. In what was dubbed the 'showbiz wedding of the year', the duo threw a spectacular three-day wedding a week later in Palermo, the capital of Sicily.

Said to have cost a eye-watering 1.5 million, the spectacular weekend was attended by a host of celeb guest including the likes of Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, Tove Lo, and legendary fashion icon Donatella Versace.
