Watch Charli XCX bring out Robyn, Caroline Polachek, and Yung Lean in London for ‘Brat’ tour
Charli XCX has crossed off London on her ongoing ‘Brat’ world tour, and she brought along friends Robyn, Caroline Polachek, and Yung Lean. Check out photos, footage and the setlist below.
On the UK victory lap for her whirlwind year off the back of the cultural phenomenon of ‘Brat’ summer, inspired by her acclaimed sixth album and subsequent remix record, Charli performed at London’s O2 Arena after kicking it off at Manchester’s Co-Op Live yesterday, where she debuted the remix of ‘So I’ in tribute to SOPHIE.
Last night (November 28), Charli mostly performed tracks off her wildly-successful sixth album and its remix companion, including ‘Club classics’, ‘365’ with opener Shygirl, and ‘Apple’, the latter a concert staple that features audience members performing its viral TikTok dance. This time, Charli’s fiancé, The 1975’s George Daniel, attempted a go at it.
While the remix of ‘Everything is romantic’, featuring Polachek, was played over speakers after the end of the show’s third segment, leading into a solo performance by Charli, the ‘Desire, I Want To Turn Into You’ artist appeared during the encore to give the remix its live debut. After which, Charli and Polachek performed a version of the latter’s ‘Welcome To My Island’, as remixed by Daniel.
Robyn was then ushered to the stage, accompaned by Lean, to perform ‘360’ and ‘Dancing On My Own’, with Shygirl appearing during the latter to dance onstage. The night was rounded off by a rendition of Icona Pop’s ‘I Love It’.
