It’s the latest booking for Charli following an announcement that she will be bringing her Party Girl series to London’s new LIDO Festival in Victoria Park, which takes place over the same weekend on June 14.
The announcement comes ahead of a run of arena dates in the U.K. this week, kicking off in Manchester this evening (Nov. 27) before heading to London, Glasgow and Birmingham. She’s also announced a new run of North America arena dates for next spring, where she’ll perform in Brooklyn, Chicago, Minneapolis and Austin, as well as a big slot at Coachella Festival.
Charli’s Brat album was recently nominated for seven Grammys at the upcoming ceremony in February, including a nod for album of the year. She recently appeared on Saturday Night Live as host and the performing musician, as well as completing a co-headline tour throughout North American with close collaborator Troye Sivan.
