Charli XCX brings Brat back to Glastonbury in electric performance
Charli XCX brings Brat back to Glastonbury in electric performance Her set on the Other Stage marked just over a year following the release of her culture-shaping sixth studio album, which inspired the "Brat summer" trend Charli XCX headlined Glastonbury on the Other Stage (Image: BBC ) Charli XCX brought Brat back to Glastonbury Festival on Saturday night in an electric performance that saw her dancing along with an energetic crowd. Her set on the Other Stage marked just over a year following the release of her culture-shaping sixth studio album, which inspired the "Brat summer" trend. "It's summertime and I was thinking about last summer – did anyone have a Brat summer?" she said. The singer, wearing an all-black ensemble including sunglasses and knee-high boots, began her set with 360 and Von Dutch. The 32-year-old played her Partygirl set at the festival in 2024, but this time the singer took to a much bigger stage amid a year that has seen her pick up a slew of awards. She launched into upbeat dance track Club Classics after the two opening songs.

Alongside the songs from her new album, she performed tracks from her back catalogue, treating revellers to Unlock It (Lock It), Party 4 U, Vroom Vroom, and Speed Drive – which appeared on the Barbie movie soundtrack. Performing her viral Apple dance at the show was US singer Gracie Abrams who had played on the same stage a day earlier. During her gigs Charli XCX often gets a famous person to perform the dance, which started as a trend on TikTok. The British singer also performed her version of Guess with US superstar Billie Eilish and Girl, So Confusing with Lorde, though neither appeared for the performance. Before ending her set on crowd-pleasing number one hit I Love It, featuring Icona Pop, she danced while water poured down from the stage ceiling amid a rendition of Blame It On Your Love. In recent months the singer, real name Charlotte Aitchison, has been performing at festivals across the globe, including Coachella in California, Primavera Sound in Barcelona and a headline slot at Lido Festival in London. Following the release of Brat, her infectious electronic-pop tracks soared up the charts and inspired a trend, with fans embracing the "Brat summer" cultural movement. The accolades followed, and in March she dominated the Brit Awards, winning five categories including songwriter of the year.

In February she picked up three awards at the Grammys and she was named songwriter of the year at The Ivors in May.

Glastonbury fans left raging after BBC streaming service crashes and viewers miss out on watching Scissor Sisters and headliner Charli XCX
This year's Glastonbury festival has taken over the BBC, with the broadcaster promising hours of coverage of the world renowned festival. Yet some fans were left raging on Saturday night after the BBC 's live coverage of the iconic festival crashed mid-broadcast, leaving viewers staring at a blank screen instead of their favourite acts. As the second night of action took place at Worthy Farm, music lovers hoping to catch Scissor Sisters and Charli XCX from the comfort of their sofas, were left disappointed when both the BBC TV feed and iPlayer suffered a major technical fail. During a highly anticipated set on The Other Stage, viewers tuning in via BBC, were met with a blank screen. And those trying to watch live performances online on iPlayer's main Glastonbury stream, were met with an error message that read: 'Sorry for the interruption. We're working to fix this.' Many took to social media to vent their frustration online, demanding answers and better coverage. They wrote: 'Terrible coverage on bbc - Scissor Sisters live set off air & general lack of live streams. The iPlayer Glastonbury Channel is also broken on Apple TV. It's a mess.' 'bbc iplayer crashing as soon as scissor sisters are meant to be on stage is abysmal work' 'Waited all day for scissor sisters to be on and now iplayer showing a black screen ffs #Glastonbury2025' 'First they don't let us see the Kaiser Chiefs now the iPlayer seemingly crashes when Scissor Sisters are meant to be on. S***e. #BBC #Glastonbury2025' 'bbc @iplayer no scissor sisters, 35 mins in still getting this.. very disappointing.' 'C'mon iPlayer, f*****g sort yourself out. Waiting for Scissor Sisters here.' '#Glastonbury2025 #Scissorsister what a joke! been waiting to watch the only band worth looking at today and I'm getting this s**t show' 'Cmon BBC Iplayer…where's Charli xcx? #Glastonbury' 'bbc iplayer again i just want to watch charli xcx at glastonbury - even better this time we have a totally blank screen i could be spending my £174.50 a year tv license on 581* freddos' 'IPLAYER HURRY AND FIX THIS I WANNA SEE CHARLI' 'BBC iplayer had one job and they can't even get their stream working for the headliner ffs, FUMING. An absolute joke honestly' 'the live coverage has been awful' To catch any remaining action from The Other Stage, desperate viewers had to scramble to the dedicated feed, which remained - mercifully - untouched by the glitch. It comes as Charli XCX put on a very racy display as she graced the Other stage as the headline act on Saturday evening. The singer, 32, showed off her toned figure in tiny black leather hot pants and a mesh skull crop top. Charli accessorised with a floaty Alexander McQueen scarf, and hid her eyes behind oversized dark sunglasses. The crowd went wild as she performed hits including Party 4 U, Speed Drive, Sympathy Is a Knife, and 360. She later performed her song Apple, and the person doing the famous viral dance was Gracie Abrams, daughter of Star Wars director JJ Abrams. Earlier in the day, Pulp had thrown shade at Charli during their surprise performance. The Britpop icons were concealed as mystery band Patchwork - later revealing themselves on the famous Pyramid Stage after 30 years. The band took a swipe at Charli XCX - who was headlining the Other Stage on Saturday night - by declaring 2025 a 'Pulp Summer'. Before their performance, a screen flashed with 'Are you ready for.... Pulp Summer.' It seems the band had a direct message for Charli's fanbase - who declared a 'Brat Summer' last year, thanks to her smash-hit album. After the words flashed on screen, band leader Jarvis Cocker jokingly quipped: 'We're Pulp. Sorry for the people that were expecting Patchwork.' He added: 'Did you know we were going to play? How? Psychic? Good.' Throughout the set, Pulp joked that it had been '30 Years and Four Days' since they first took to the stage at Glastonbury 1995. The band originally split in 2002, with Jarvis saying shortly after that 'no-one was arsed' about their music anymore. They split again in 2013, before reforming in 2022.
