The Brat Tour (also referred to as the Brat Arena Tour) is the eighth concert tour by English singer-songwriter Charli XCX, in support of her sixth studio album Brat (2024). Her first solo tour since Crash: The Live Tour (2022-23), it began on 27 November 2024, in Manchester, England, and is scheduled to conclude on 10 August 2025, in Helsinki, Finland. English singer and DJ Shygirl serves as the opening act.

Background

[edit]

Charli XCX released her sixth studio album Brat on 7 June 2024. The record became her highest-charting album on the Billboard 200, and her biggest commercial success to date. Impregnated with critical acclaim upon release, multiple media outlets marked it 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 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, Glastonbury, and Ibiza.[7]

A solo 4-show tour of the United Kingdom, dubbed as the 'Brat 2024 Arena Tour' was announced on 3 April 2024 to commence in November.[8] Also, a co-headlining arena tour of North America alongside Troye Sivan, '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]
