In a significant announcement that has thrilled the music industry and fans alike, Charli XCX has laid out her plans for a massive UK arena tour in November and December 2024, her largest headline shows in the country to date. This tour is set to promote her eagerly awaited new album titled BRAT, with Shygirl confirmed as the special guest for all four dates. The tour will grace stages in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow, promising an unforgettable experience for attendees.

The tour news comes alongside the release of two new singles from the upcoming album, Club classics and B2b, giving fans a taste of what to expect from BRAT. The album, Charli’s sixth studio effort, is scheduled for release on 7th June and has been described as an exhilarating club record that marries high art with sharp social commentary. The first single from the album, Von dutch, has already made waves, receiving acclaim from critics and fans alike for its bold, synth-heavy sound.

Charli XCX has been a formidable presence in the music scene, known for her avant-pop and electronic music that has significantly influenced popular culture over the last decade. Her upcoming album follows the success of 2022’s CRASH, which topped the UK’s official album chart. Beyond her music, Charli has been involved in various film and TV projects, including co-executive producing the score for the A24 film Mother Mary with Jack Antonoff and producing original music for Benito Skinner’s series Overcompensating on Prime Video.

Reflecting on her multifaceted career and the anticipation surrounding BRAT, Charli has been honoured with prestigious awards, including the Visionary Award at the Ivor Novellos in London and the Powerhouse Award at Billboard’s Women In Music ceremony in Los Angeles.
