On Saturday, the festival-goers were treated to an unexpected collaboration between Charli XCX and The Strokes during their sets at Outside Lands. Following her headline performance the night before, Charli joined the band for their hit "Take It Or Leave It" from their 2001 album Is This It. During the show, Julian Casablancas, the lead singer of The Strokes, praised Charli's vocal abilities and humorously referred to her as "Charli Motherfucking XCX." He also commented that the new queen of everything had defeated them in album sales.
The week of July 24 saw the release of both Charli XCX's latest album Music, Fashion, Film and The Strokes' new album Reality Awaits. In addition to her live performance, Charli made a video appearance during Djo's set when he played his song "Charlie’s Garden." She appeared on the big side screens with a message of gratitude to Djo for writing a song about her.
Charli also visited Amoeba Music, a record store, to interact with fans, although her tour schedule was adjusted following some backlash. During her time at the store, she engaged with fans and even addressed a fainting fan (who was later found to be alright). Charli commented on the video, saying, "Big brother little sister vibes."
The collaboration between Charli XCX and The Strokes provided an electric atmosphere at Outside Lands, showcasing the talent and popularity of both artists in the pop music scene.
