## Key points

- Charli xcx delivered a celebrated Lollapalooza headline performance.
- Rain and pyrotechnics heightened the live debut of “House”.
- The set blended BRAT hits, new music and rock staging.

## Summary

Charli xcx’s headline set at Lollapalooza 2026 was praised as an ambitious, highly polished performance combining pop spectacle with rock energy. A dramatic live debut of “House”, from her Wuthering Heights soundtrack, coincided with heavy rain and pyrotechnics, creating a memorable moment that the reviewer treated as almost supernatural.

The set drew heavily from BRAT and her new album Music, Fashion, Film, while also introducing another soundtrack song, “Dying for You”. Backed by a three-piece band, Charli used choreography, brisk pacing and grungy styling to present herself as a convincing rock performer as well as a pop star; the rain largely eased soon after “House”.
