The British-Lebanese artist, who turns 43 on August 18, opened the show with "Modern Times" from his new record, noting it was the last concert of his summer tour.

Mika's "Hyperlove" album marks a personal chapter, blending a reinvention of his sound with a joyful return to the piano as his creative compass. This theme of human emotion coexisting with the digital world was visually represented on stage through a dazzling display of colored lights, smoke machines, and large gear-like structures against a backdrop of vibrant, ever-changing images, from robots to celestial phenomena.

The singer, known for his dynamic stage presence, moved energetically throughout the concert, performing tracks like "Eleven," where he had the audience singing along to the English chorus. He skillfully interacted with the crowd, switching between languages and asking about the nationalities present, creating a truly inclusive atmosphere.

A highlight of the evening was the performance of "Relax, Take It Easy," which had over 2,000 attendees on their feet, dancing and singing. Mika, who changed outfits multiple times, also shared a lighthearted moment during "Ice Cream," using a fan from the audience and joking about learning the trick from fellow artist Pablo Lรณpez. His performance of "Big Girl" saw him descend into the audience, further energizing the crowd and playfully calling those in the upper tiers the "VIPs."
