Charli XCX Announces Six European Dates
Charli announced the additional tour dates on 11 September. The new shows will extend her Music, Fashion, Film Tour into the UK and Europe in February 2027. The run begins at Dublin's 3Arena on 13 February. Charli will then perform at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on 15 February, followed by Manchester's Co-op Live on 17 February.
Her London show will take place at The O2 on 19 February. The final two dates are scheduled for Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on 22 February and Paris' Accor Arena on 24 February.
Audrey Hobert will join Charli as the opening act across all six dates. Tickets are scheduled to go on general sale on 18 September.
The small number of shows quickly became a talking point among fans.
On Reddit, some commenters questioned why more European cities had not been included. One commenter described the situation as particularly frustrating for fans outside the selected cities, while another pointed out that 'Europe is huge'.
Another commenter compared the six UK and European dates with Charli's North American run and said European fans were 'feeling a bit cheated'.
Fans Question the Limited Schedule
The criticism is not only about the number of performances. Some fans have also raised concerns about the geographical spread of the dates. Of the six shows, four are in the British Isles, with Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester and London making up the first four stops. Amsterdam and Paris are the only mainland European cities included.
For fans living elsewhere, attending one of the concerts could mean travelling to another city or country for a single show.
The response has not been entirely negative. Some fans have acknowledged their disappointment while also saying they understand that Charli should be able to decide how much touring she can manage.
Others have defended the singer and pointed to the demanding schedule she has maintained since the success of Brat.
Charli XCX Responds to the Backlash
Charli addressed the criticism directly in an Instagram statement.
'I know there's a lot of frustration in the comments about the fact that I am not doing lots of dates,' she wrote, according to Billboard. She apologised to fans who felt disappointed but explained that touring is 'really emotionally and physically hard' for her.
Charli also said she respects artists who are able to tour at an intense and lengthy pace. However, she explained that she is not someone who can work in the same way.
The singer said the same consideration influenced her decision to keep her North American tour relatively short.
'I'm sorry if you feel I am letting you down; I really am,' she added. She also suggested that she may one day be able to handle the level of touring some fans expect from her.
Her comments have received support from some fans online. Several commenters have argued that audiences can be disappointed about missing a show while still respecting an artist's decision to limit her touring schedule.
The six UK and European dates are part of Charli's Music, Fashion, Film Tour, which supports her eighth studio album of the same name. The album was released in July and became Charli's fourth UK number one album. It also made her the first British female artist to score two new number one albums in the UK in the same calendar year.
Before heading to Europe, Charli is touring North America. That run began in Philadelphia on 11 September and continues through October, with stops including Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, Washington, Atlanta, San Diego, Los Angeles, Glendale and Las Vegas.
