Pop star Charli XCX launched her Music, Fashion, Film Tour on September 11 at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena, introducing a 90-minute live set that balances new tracks with a decade-spanning catalog, according to reporting by InMusic Newsletter.
Tour Launch and Setlist Highlights
The Philadelphia opening night began with a taped “Oblivion” intro featuring lyrics from the closing track of Charli XCX’s eighth studio album, Music, Fashion, Film. According to InMusic Newsletter, the pop star immediately moved into live performances of “Rock Music” and “Yeah,” followed by “Apple” and the live debut of “Persona.” The setlist incorporated songs from her 2026 Wuthering Heights soundtrack contributions, including “House” and “Dying For You,” alongside material from her previous club-pop era, such as “Girl, So Confusing” and “365.” Opener Underscores joined the stage later in the evening for a duet of “Do It” from the 2026 album U.
Album Reception and Commercial Performance
The live tour supports Charli XCX’s eighth studio album, Music, Fashion, Film, which dropped on July 24. Produced alongside longtime collaborators A.G. Cook and Finn Keane, the 11-track project runs roughly 30 minutes and shifts away from the heavy club-pop intensity of her 2024 cultural phenomenon Brat in favor of guitar-driven and lo-fi textures, as reported by InMusic Newsletter. Commercially, the record opened at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart with 22,322 equivalent units and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 78,000 equivalent units, marking her largest U.S. opening week to date.
Upcoming Tour Dates
Following the Philadelphia kickoff, the North American leg of the Music, Fashion, Film Tour continues through October. According to concert schedules detailed by InMusic Newsletter, the run includes two nights at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, alongside stops in Toronto, Boston, Washington, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. Charli XCX will then take the production to the UK and Europe in February 2027, featuring special guest Audrey Hobert.
