Charli XCX has announced the ‘Music, Fashion, Film Tour’, which will see her play across North America later this year.
The new shows were announced today (June 8) and come in support of her new album ‘Music, Fashion Film’. That record will be the follow-up to the cultural phenomenon that was 2024’s ‘Brat’, and is due for release on July 24 (pre-order it here).
So far, it has been previewed with the recent singles ‘Rock Music’ and ‘SS26’, and its cover was unveiled recently – a black-and-white photograph capturing musician and composer John Cale, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, and legendary director Martin Scorsese.
New tour dates will see the ‘Von Dutch’ singer play at arenas across North America later this year, and kick off with an opening night at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia on September 11.
From there, Charli will play two shows at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, as well as stops in Toronto, Boston and Washington throughout the rest of September. October shows include shows in Austin, Atlanta, Las Vegas and more, as well as two back-to-back nights at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Tickets go live on Friday (June 12 at 1pm local time, and pre-sale access starts from Wednesday (June 10) at 9am local time. Visit here for tickets.
Once the sale has started, Charli will be introducing ‘Angel Tickets’, where a limited number of $20 tickets will be made available in August. These tickets may include limited view, lower and upper levels, as well as GA Floor, and they have to be purchased in pairs.
On top of that, there will be a limited number of charity tickets that will also be made available in the first five rows of each venue. 50 per cent of the net proceeds from these tickets will go to the Transgender Law Center, a charity that works to protect the right of all transgender people to make their own choices and live freely, safely and authentically.
The shows follow on from Charli making festival appearances at Lollapalooza next month, and at both Outside Lands and Reading & Leeds in August.

Last week, Charli spoke about uniting “three legends” on the official cover artwork for her upcoming album ‘Music, Fashion Film’, saying that it led to her finally understanding exactly what the term “shook” referred to.
“Just to have these three legends in this room being willing to come together for this album cover, to be shot by somebody who is an up and coming filmmaker and photographer – who they don’t particularly know very well – but were willing to trust, for them to trust me, it was really cool,” she told Shaad Magazine.
The already-iconic image was shot by Scottish photographer and filmmaker Aidan Zamiri, who has helmed some of Charli’s recent music videos, and directed and co-wrote her A24 mockumentary The Moment.
As well as the two singles from the record, the singer has also released two B-sides from the ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ era: ‘I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day And Night’ and ‘Playboy Bunny’.
For the new music, it looks like ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ will be taking on a grittier, more guitar-orientated sound than ‘Brat’ – NME‘s Number One album of the year in 2024 – although the singer did recently clarify that she “I never said [she] was making a rock album.”
Since confirming the new record, the artist has responded to the mixed reactions to her stylistic shift, calling it “fascinating” to see, held a surprise intimate ‘In Conversation’ fan event and DJ set in London with her husband, The 1975‘s George Daniel, and discussed her move into cinema, acknowledging it can be perceived as “cringe”.
