Charli XCX is a British singer and songwriter who has built a career on blending pop with more experimental, dance and electronic influences. She has released several albums over the past decade and has become known for both mainstream chart success and a devoted fanbase drawn to her willingness to experiment musically.

Intimate or small-venue shows differ from the large arena tours that major pop artists usually rely on. Rather than performing to tens of thousands of people, an artist plays to a much smaller crowd in a modest club or theatre, often at short notice, giving fans a rarer chance to see them up close. Such shows can also serve to test new material or mark a particular moment in an artist's career.

New York and London are two of the most significant cities in the global music industry, home to large concentrations of fans, media coverage and industry figures. Announcing shows in both suggests an effort to reach key audiences in the United States and the United Kingdom within a short space of time.
