Charli XCX at Malahide Castle: Stage times, set list, ticket information, how to get there and more
Few artists have experienced as transformational a year as
Charli XCX
did in 2024, buoyed by the release of critical and commercial phenom
Brat
.
Such was the ubiquity of the hyperpop star's album and marketing campaign, a simple flash of slime green, void of any text, is now synonymous with her music. Charli famously described the starter pack for a Brat summer as a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter and a strappy white top with no bra.
A host of Grammy and
Brit awards
later, Charli XCX is landing in Dublin for her biggest Irish show to date. Just over a year on from Brat, there is no sign of the hype wilting.
