Rita Ora Wows Hamburg With Live Set by the Elbe

The British pop star delivered an unforgettable performance, showcasing her powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence.

Her set included her latest single Heat alongside crowd favourites blending pop, R&B, and dance.

Rita's energy and charisma solidified her status as one of the UK's most compelling live acts, launching the venue's summer season in spectacular style.

Viral TikTok Keeps 'Heat' Buzzing Online

To coincide with the concert, Rita shared a playful TikTok video from a flight, claiming to overhear a fellow passenger listening to Heat.

The clip drew widespread attention—and scepticism—with users noting that she still had her own headphones on, sparking speculation that the stunt was staged.

Despite mixed reactions and some calling the moment 'cringe', Rita doubled down on the humour, posting follow-up videos and teasing, 'This is just the beginning.'
