Fans were quick to take to X - formerly known as Twitter - to comment on the 'unforgettable' and 'perfect' moment as they heaped praise on the duet.
'I'm rewatching all Dua's Glastonbury performance. It's truly amazing. The production the fits the dancing the extended instrumentals TAME IMPALA. I love her,' one wrote.

A fourth tweeted: 'Dua Lipa bringing out Tame Impala during her Glastonbury set was not on my bingo card for 2024 but I love it.'
While another added: 'I'm never shutting up about this Dua Lipa and Tame Impala moment.'
Fans had been expecting Dua to bring out Calvin Harris to duet their anthem One Kiss, but she kept the crowds on her toes with Kevin as her unpredicted surprise guest.
Australian producer Kevin worked with Dua on her latest album Radical Optimism along with the likes of Danny L Harle, Ian Kirkpatrick and Andrew Wyatt.
Dua turned Glastonbury into a festival-turned nightclub for a whole hour and 45 minutes, singing hits including Houdini, Cold Heart and even a remix of New Rules.

Charli XCX also sent fans while as she took to the stage at Glastonbury on Thursday with Australian singer Troye Sivan as her special guest
'I think the line-up reflects what's happening in the music world at the moment - there aren't a lot of new rock acts to choose from, if I'm honest,' she told BBC Radio 2.
'Hopefully that will emerge again, my heyday was 1995 with Pulp and Oasis and Radiohead... and that was great, but music changes all the time and right now this is where we're at.
'Every year, we've been criticized for being too rock, too grime, too hip hop, too pop... it's just part of our year.'
