Two friends are at a karaoke bar. One of them can tell that the other would like to sing a song but doesn't have the courage, so he asks...

Friend #1: When are you going (to go/get) up there and do/perform a song?

Friend #2: Me?

Friend #1: Yeah. You love to sing.


How should the bold-face sentence be to be most natural to you? Thanks.
 
Either of your first options works equally well. Between the two latter options, I'd use 'do'.

However, neither of the latter options are as natural as simply saying '....up there and sing'.

When are you going to get up there and sing?
 
If you're at a karaoke bar, it would be very odd to "get up there" and not sing something. I'd say "When are you going to get up there?" or "When are you going to have a go?"
