Charli XCX at Malahide: Who could be doing the iconic Apple Dance as Brat Summer reaches Dublin?
Charli XCX makes her return to Dublin this summer, with 20,000 brats heading to Malahide castle.
Following the release and cultural phenomenon that was her Brat album, one of the biggest moments from the album has been the mega-viral 'Apple dance' — which sees people from all walks of life, including celebrities, being broadcast on the big screen during her tours to dance to the chorus of the tune. Charli XCX will be bringing Brat summer and her iconic Apple dance to Malahide Castle on June 17.

I feel that this is the most likely one, given her and Charli's history together and CMAT's new own 'Apple' dance for her latest single Take A Sexy Picture of Me.
While both Ciara Mary Alice Thompson (yes, that's where CMAT's name comes from!) and Charli are set to play Glastonbury the week after her Malahide gig, it's very possible that CMAT could make a surprise appearance at Charli's concert. I mean, it makes sense. Pic: David Fisher/Shutterstock
Another (semi) straight answer, I feel that Dublin's favourite twins will be in Malahide regardless of whether they'll be doing the dance.
The lads recently revealed that miss Charli was 'their biggest fan' during their heyday, both John and Edward are very likely to be in attendance at the gig. Will they be on hand to steal the show on Tuesday? Who knows. While he doesn't like the 'extraordinarily explicit' lyrics of Guess, perhaps Joe would enjoy Apple and the corresponding dance? Pic: RTÉ
After a woman called in to Liveline to complain about the 'appalling' lyrics of Guess, a bonus track on 'Brat and it's the same but there's three more songs so it's not' (and breathe), Joe Duffy got an earful of just what Charli wants you to do with the underwear she's wearing.
While we doubt Joe will be doing any dances to Guess, with lyrics he's described as 'extraordinarily explicit,' who knows? Maybe some young RTÉ intern has been secretly teaching him the dance for this very moment. @mhealyrae Having a #BRAT day in the Dáil 😂 #fyp #foryou #healyrae #Kerry #charlixcx #apple ♬ original sound – Michael Healy-Rae T.D.
You laugh, but he actually knows the dance.
Remember what I just said about someone at RTÉ teaching Joe Duffy the dance? Well, some staffer in Michael Healy Rae's office did exactly that; with him doing the dance on TikTok. Could this be how he announces a potential Presidential run? Because why the hell not? Pic: RTE
He's been too quiet lately… surely this is how he makes a comeback.
