Charli XCX tour chronology |
The Brat Tour (also referred to as the Brat Arena Tour for the arena dates) is the ongoing fourth solo concert tour by English singer-songwriter Charli XCX, in support of her sixth studio album Brat (2024). It began in Manchester, England, on 27 November 2024, and is set to conclude in Gwacheon, South Korea, on 15 August 2025. English singer and DJ Shygirl serves as the opening act for the UK leg, while British producer and artist Finn Keane is the opening act for the US leg.
Background
Charli XCX released her sixth studio album Brat on 7 June 2024. It became her highest-charting album on the Billboard 200, and her biggest commercial success to date. Met with critical acclaim upon release, the album was dubbed by various outlets as "one of the biggest pop culture moments of the year".[1][2] The style of album cover and the specific shade of green became a viral sensation after a "Brat generator" tool surfaced online that allowed users to replicate the cover with their own custom text, which was used during the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris in the United States, during the 2024 United Kingdom general election, and to promote the success of the Ultra Low Emission Zone scheme in London.[3][4][5]
To promote the album, Charli XCX announced two sets of live performances and appearances. Brat Live, which would see performances of the upcoming record, and Partygirl, which would replicate her previous Brooklyn-based Boiler Room warehouse set.[6] Brat shows took place in Barcelona (as part of Primavera Sound), New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Roskilde (as part of the Roskilde Festival), and Gdynia (as part of Open'er). Partygirl sets were booked in Brooklyn, Barcelona, London, Mexico City, São Paulo, Pilton (as part of Glastonbury), and Ibiza.[7]
A solo four-show tour of the United Kingdom, originally dubbed as the Brat 2024 Arena Tour, was announced on 3 April 2024 to commence in November.[8] An additional co-headlining arena tour of North America alongside Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan, titled Sweat, was announced on 17 April 2024.[9][10][11][12][13] The Brat Tour was later expanded into 2025, visiting selected indoor arenas and music festivals throughout Oceania, Europe, and North America.[14][15]
