Charli XCX announces Manchester show to kick off ‘biggest ever’ UK tour

British singer-songwriter Charli XCX is coming to Co-op Live in Manchester this winter, as part of her ‘biggest ever’ UK tour.

The ‘Speed Drive’, ‘Beg for You’ and ‘Hot In It’ hitmaker will take to the stage this November 27th at the brand-new Co-op Live arena to perform her Brat 2024 tour to celebrate the release of her new 15-song album of the same name.

Charli XCX, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, will perform a mixture of her best loved tracks as well as new releases and fans can expect an exciting evening of great music and entertainment.

Supporting the star on all four UK tour dates – in Manchester, London, Birmingham and Glasgow in November and December – will be special guest Shygirl.

Earlier today, Charli unveiled ‘Club classics’ and ‘B2b’ – two new singles from ‘BRAT’, which will be released on Friday, June 7th. ‘BRAT’ is the eagerly awaited follow up to 2022’s ‘CRASH’, which reached number 1 on the UK’s official album chart.

Her new album promises to be an exhilarating club record built around high art references and social commentary.

Born in Cambridge and raised in Start Hill, Essex, the avant-pop and electronic superstar began posting songs on Myspace in 2008, which led to her discovery by a promoter who invited her to perform at warehouse raves. 

In 2010, she signed a recording contract with Asylum Records, releasing a series of singles and mixtapes throughout 2011 and 2012. Over the course of her career, Charli has earned critical acclaim for her innovative style and entrepreneurial spirit and seen her forward-thinking approach reshape pop culture in the process.

Her lasting impact was cemented last year when Charli was honoured with the Visionary Award at the annual Ivor Novellos in London, while she also received the Powerhouse Award at Billboard’s Women in Music ceremony in Los Angeles in March.

Co-op members can gain exclusive first-in-line access to pre-sale tickets as well as a host of other benefits.
