Solo performances by Twigs, Beabadoobee, and others are scheduled. XCX released “Brat,” which took the culture world by storm in June, and was named NME’s Album of the Year.
“Sure, ‘Brat’ as a cultural sensation was something to behold. But ‘Brat’ as an album was the core record of the release, the music that underpinned the marketing, and the very Simply exceptional,” NME wrote.
“As a songwriter and lyricist, Charlie has spent much of his career oscillating between the extremes of unfazed demeanor and naked vulnerability. ‘Brat’ moves effortlessly along the scales and captures humanity. Delivering a bulletproof banger that leaves you with. This album is not only the best of Charlie, but also a new bar set of modern pop. ”
It looks like “Brat” Summer is scheduled for a second round in 2025. As well as Primavera, Charli has been confirmed as Parklife’s first headliner next year, and the ‘360’ artist is also curating a day at London’s LIDO festival, where she is set to perform at the best performance.
