How Charli xcx Is Challenging Herself With Music, Fashion, Film Tour: ‘I’ve Really Climbed My Way Up From Nothing’
Inside the alt-pop star's latest outing.
Charli xcx released her Grammy-winning album Brat in 2024, marking her breakthrough into arena tours. Now, she is on a rock-infused tour to promote her new album Music, Fashion, Film. The 34-year-old artist is known for her uncompromising, high-concept performances that stay true to her artistic vision. She performs primarily from her latest album, challenging the audience's expectations of a festival set.
For this tour, she worked closely with her creative director, Imogene Strauss, and producer A.G. Cook, who helped bring her artistic ideas to life. The tour's choreography was created by Eric Christensen, who brings a fashion background to the performance. The album's artwork features the works of John Cale, Marc Jacobs, and Martin Scorsese, and the recurring line "oblivion is freedom" is inspired by a monologue by David Cronenberg.
