Charli XCX is taking Music, Fashion, Film across the Atlantic. The pop star has announced six UK and European arena dates for February 2027, starting in Dublin before heading through Glasgow, Manchester, London, Amsterdam and Paris. Audrey Hobert will join her as special guest across all six dates.
After a year of huge festival appearances, headline shows and an increasingly expansive creative era, the announcement gives European fans their first chance to see the new album translated into a full arena show.
Oh Charli, we can’t wait to see you.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am BST on Friday, September 18, with an artist pre-sale beginning at 11am BST on Wednesday, September 16 (sign up here!).
The pre-sale system also gives fans who supported the album directly a head start, rather than leaving the entire ticket drop to the general sale — which, considering Charli’s current demand, might be worth taking seriously.
The announcement comes as Charli is about to kick off the North American leg of the Music, Fashion, Film Tour, beginning in Philadelphia tonight before moving through arenas across the US and Canada in September and October. Underscores will join her on those dates.
And yes, before you ask: no Prague, no Berlin, no Italy.
AUDREY HOBERT IS COMING TOO
If you’ve somehow managed to miss Audrey Hobert, consider this your warning. The singer will open all six European dates with her slightly chaotic, funky, carefree energy — the kind of performance that feels like watching someone turn their living room into a stage and simply decide they’re already a pop star.
Her best-known track, Sue Me, has become a fan favourite, and her live performances have their own wonderfully unserious rules. Trench coat buttoned all the way up. Trampoline nearby. Phones occasionally banned.
We need more Audrey.
MUSIC, FASHION, FILM IS GOING GLOBAL
Charli’s eighth studio album, Music, Fashion, Film, arrived in July and quickly followed the enormous cultural footprint of BRAT. The record debuted at No. 1 in the UK, giving Charli her second UK No. 1 album of 2026. It also marks a slightly different chapter for the singer, expanding the world she built around BRAT into something that feels less tied to one specific moment and more interested in everything surrounding pop stardom.
The album didn’t just make noise — critics were clearly paying attention. NME called it “a snapshot of stardom from a true modern artist,” while Pitchfork awarded it Best New Music, praising its tiny production details and instantly addictive moments. The Guardian went even further, giving the album five stars and calling it “another gorgeously astute and disarmingly deep album about the instability of identity.”
Her live shows haven’t been universally flawless, either. NME gave her Reading set four stars, describing it as “stylish” and “cinematic”, but felt the early slot worked against her — after all, Charli “thrives in the dark.” Still, the set finished on a high, with the review praising its “incredibly powerful ending.”
Beyond music, Charli has become just as influential in fashion and visual culture, and she’s now taking that energy into film too. She’s been expanding her creative practice into acting, writing, producing and scoring, with projects involving directors including Takashi Miike, Gregg Araki and Cathy Yan.
Elsewhere, Charli XCX has picked up two MTV VMA nominations for SS26, landing nods for Best Pop and Best Art Direction. Her summer has also included some unexpected stage appearances: she joined The Strokes at Outside Lands for Take It Or Leave It, before reuniting with Lorde at Lollapalooza for Girl, so confusing.
Six dates might not be enough for everyone. But if you’re not in Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, London, Amsterdam or Paris, well…
