Charli XCX announces US ‘Brat’ arena tour for 2025
Charli XCX has announced a new US tour for 2025, celebrating the ‘Brat’ album.
The singer has been teasing the tour in recent days, with fans spotting various ‘Brat’-themed billboards cropping up in cities across the US. The signs all featured the album’s signature lurid green colour as well as its lo-fi font, reading ‘Chicago’, ‘Minneapolis’ and ‘Brooklyn’, in the respective cities.
Other eagle-eyed fans on Reddit also noticed that the ‘Club Classics’ singer’s Ticketmaster page said there are “16 events”, although no exact shows showed up on the site.
Now, following speculation, Charli has shared details of a US headline arena tour to take place in spring 2025.
So far, five shows have been announced, with dates commencing on April 22 as the singer plays an opening show at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
From there, she has dates at the Target Center in Minneapolis and the Allstate Arena in Rosemont scheduled for April 26 and 28 respectively, before wrapping up with two back-to-back dates at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 30 and May 1.
Tickets go on sale next Tuesday (November 26) at 2pm local time, although pre-sale options are also available that same day from 10am. Visit here for tickets.
Charli XCX ‘Brat’ US tour dates are:
APRIL 2025
22 – Austin, TX @ Moody Center
26 – Minneapolis, MN @ Target Center
28 – Rosemont, IL @ Allstate Arena
30 – Brooklyn, NY @ Barclays Center
MAY 2025
1 – Brooklyn, NY @ Barclays Center
At time of writing, just the five shows have been announced for the US, although the Ticketmaster site still reads that there are “16 events”. While this could indicate that more shows will be announced shortly, this could possibly be down to the website also listing a handful of international tour dates.
While this is the first major headline tour Charli XCX has announced for America since sharing ‘Brat’ earlier this year, she has played a handful of times already in the country since then. This came as she embarked on a co-headline tour with Troye Sivan in recent months.
Just days ago, she also performed a “surprise” mini-show in the middle of New York’s Times Square, with a setlist consisting of ‘365’, ‘360’, ‘Von Dutch’, ‘Apple’ and ‘Guess’, along with the remixes of ‘365’ and ‘Guess’.
The gig came just two days after she pulled double duty on SNL, hosting and performing. During the skit show, she debuted an impression of Adele that’s been hailed as “so accurate” by fans.
Next week, Charli will embark on an arena tour in the UK with special guest Shygirl. Kicking off at Manchester’s Co-op Live on November 27, Charli will move on to London’s The O2 on November 28 and Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena on November 29, before wrapping in Glasgow’s OVO Hydro Arena on December 2. Visit here for tickets.
She’ll also play two outdoor shows in 2025 for fans in Belfast and Dublin, performing at Belfast’s Belsonic 2025 at Ormeau Park on June 18, and Dublin’s Malahide Castle the day before.
Outside of her touring schedule – which will see her headline Primavera Sound and play Coachella next year – she now has six screen projects on the way, including Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex and graphic novel adaptation 100 Nights Of Hero, and was recently cast in a film loosely inspired by Joan of Arc.
Charli recently scored her first ever UK Number 1 with her ‘Brat’ remix album ‘‘Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat’. In a glowing five-star review of the remix, NME wrote that the LP “is a home run for its creator, letting her finish the game on her own terms. She has perfected the art of remixing, keeping the songs moving by giving them a brand new lease of life rather than letting them exist statically in their original form.”
