The North American tour dates come in celebration of her latest album, ‘Music, Fashion, Film’, which was released in July. Last night (Monday September 14), Charli played Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, kicking things off with ‘Rock Music’, her first single out of the new era.
Elsewhere in the night, she was joined by Petras for ‘Unlock It’, taken from Charli’s ‘Pop 2’ mixtape. We spoke to Petras about the collab back in 2018, where she said: “I love her, she’s such a princess!”

Charli XCX explains why there are only six dates on upcoming UK and European tour. “Touring is really emotionally and physically hard for me”
"Perhaps one day I will be built for the kind of touring you expect from me but right now I am not".

Charli has now responded, writing on Instagram: “I know there’s a lot of frustration in the comments about the fact that I am not doing lots of dates. I am really sorry if you feel disappointed but I have to honor my truth as an artist: touring is really emotionally and physically hard for me. “I am not looking for sympathy and I have a huge amount of respect for artists who can handle it at an intense, lengthy and high octane level, but I am just not one of those human beings and I never have been,” she added.
The pop star will hit the road on these shores. The trek includes a big show at The O2 in London
early next year, showcasing her latest studio album, ‘Music, Fashion, Film’, which was released in July.
She’ll kick off the trek with a show at Dublin’s 3Arena on February 13. From there, Charli is set to make stops at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro (February 15), Manchester’s Co-op Live (17) and London’s O2 (19).
Two European concerts are then scheduled for Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on February 22, and Paris’ Accor Arena on February 24. Audrey Hobert is joining Charli at all dates as a special guest opener.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am BST next Friday (September 18) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, fans can access a pre-sale at 11am BST on Wednesday (September 16) by signing up here.
Those who pre-ordered ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ from Charli’s official store during the qualifying window will get first access to pre-sale tickets, and will be emailed more information shortly.
Charli XCX’s UK and European tour dates for 2027 are:
FEBRUARY
13 – 3Arena, Dublin
15 – OVO Hydro, Glasgow
17 – Co-op Live, Manchester
19 – The O2, London
22 – Ziggo Dome, Amsterdam

Sharing the news on social media, Charli wrote: “[I’m] ready to bring you this show that I love so much xx.”
The newly confirmed UK and European dates will follow the North American leg of the ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ tour, which kicks off in Philadelphia tonight (Friday September 11). Last month saw Charli headline Reading & Leeds 2026 off the back of the album.
In a four-star review, NME described her Reading slot as “a stylish, cinematic, but sometimes underwhelming performance”. It reasoned that the early set time was “unfortunate” for the singer, who “thrives in the dark”. The review went on to praise the “incredibly powerful ending”, concluding: “If only the whole set could have landed quite as hard.”
Meanwhile, Charli has released a limited number of $25 (£18.50) ‘Angel Tickets’ for her North American tour. The seats are selected at random and could include limited view, lower and upper levels, as well as GA Floor.
In other news, the pop star has been nominated for two MTV VMAs – Best Pop and Best Art Direction – for her recent single ‘SS26’. Earlier this summer, she joined The Strokes on stage at Outside Lands to perform ‘Take It Or Leave It’, and teamed up with Lorde at Lollapalooza.
Charli XCX “begrudgingly” released the B-sides for ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ in July, and shared the album’s accompanying live film.
“Throughout this album process, I’ve been making things with my friends, and I’ve been loving every minute of it,” she says at the beginning of the film.
