Full account
Charli XCX has confirmed a run of UK and European arena dates for February 2027, extending the touring cycle behind her seventh studio album, 'Music, Fashion, Film', which arrived in July. The tour opens at Dublin's 3Arena on 13 February before moving to Glasgow's OVO Hydro (15 February), Manchester's Co-op Live (17 February) and London's O2 (19 February), then crosses to mainland Europe for shows at Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome (22 February) and Paris's Accor Arena, which closes the run on 24 February. Rising pop artist Audrey Hobert, whose debut album 'Who's the Clown?' included the single 'Sue Me', will open every date.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am BST on Friday 18 September, with a presale beginning at 11am BST on Tuesday 16 September for fans who register in advance; those who pre-ordered the album through Charli's official store during a qualifying window are also being given early access. Reports vary slightly on the presale registration window, with one outlet citing a sign-up deadline of 15 September and a presale running from 16 to 17 September, while others simply note the 16 September start time. Announcing the shows, Charli wrote on social media that she was 'so ready' to bring the production to fans.
The European leg follows a North American tour that begins in Philadelphia on 11 September and runs through to Las Vegas on 23 October, a twelve-date run supported by electronic artist Underscores, alongside a limited allocation of discounted $25 'Angel Tickets' for randomly allocated seating. The announcement also comes off the back of a strong summer for Charli, headlined by her first top-of-the-bill appearance at Reading Festival on 28 August, alongside a slot at sister festival Leeds — her only UK festival appearances of the year. Coverage of that performance differed in tone: one outlet's four-star review called it stylish and cinematic but occasionally underwhelming, suggesting the early stage time didn't suit a performer who thrives after dark, while another described a stage show of 'epic proportions' bolstered by a live band and dancers.
'Music, Fashion, Film' itself has drawn a mixed critical response, continuing Charli's shift towards darker, rock-inflected sounds following 2024's 'Brat'. Commercially, it gave her a fourth UK number one and made her the first British female artist to score two chart-topping albums in the same calendar year, following February's 'Wuthering Heights' soundtrack, while also opening at number three on the Billboard 200. Not every review has been warm, however — one publication awarded the record just two stars, describing it as a comedown from the heights of 'Brat'. Beyond music, outlets also noted Charli's expanding film ties, including collaborations with directors Takashi Miike, Gregg Araki and Cathy Yan, and her two nominations at the forthcoming MTV VMAs for the single 'SS26'.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:
NME (Source 1) focuses heavily on tour logistics, ticketing mechanics, the Reading review, VMA nominations and the recent B-sides/live film release, giving a fairly comprehensive UK-fan-oriented rundown.
Billboard (Source 2) emphasises commercial and chart achievements (UK number ones, Billboard 200 placement, sales chart history) and includes Charli's own quote from social media plus its own reporter's positive account of the Reading set.
Far Out (Source 3) is notably more critical of the album itself, quoting a two-star review that likens it unfavourably to 'Brat', and places more emphasis on Charli's film-world collaborations than on chart statistics.
Sources differ slightly on the presale details: Billboard describes a registration deadline of 15 September with presale running 16-17 September, while NME and Far Out describe presale access simply beginning at 11am BST on 16 September.
Explained simply
Charli XCX is a British pop star known for genre-blending, internet-savvy music, whose 2024 album "Brat" made her one of the biggest names in mainstream pop. Her follow-up record, "Music, Fashion, Film", came out in July, and she has just announced the details of how UK and European fans will get to see it performed live, following a headline appearance at Reading & Leeds festival last month.
The tour is due to run in February 2027, taking in major arenas including Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester and London's O2, before wrapping up in Amsterdam and Paris. It mirrors a North American leg of the same tour, which is starting around the same time, and comes as Charli XCX continues to pick up award recognition, including nominations at this year's MTV VMAs.
Tickets are being released in stages, with early access for people who pre-ordered the album or signed up for a pre-sale, ahead of a general on-sale to the public. This staggered release process, along with high demand for arena tours generally, is often why ticket sales for major artists attract attention in their own right.
