Charli XCX has performed her first complete ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ headline concert at Lollapalooza 2026. The set featured two live debuts and saw women’s underwear fall across the audience during ‘Guess’. Watch footage and view the full setlist below.

The packed Lollapalooza performance happened on Friday evening, July 31, when Charli joined The Smashing Pumpkins as one of the leading acts at the 2026 Chicago festival.

Before the appearance, the singer delivered an intimate Lollapalooza warmup concert in Nashville. During that show, she performed several tracks from ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ live for the first time, including ‘Magic Metal Montana’, ‘Card Declined’ and ‘2007’.

At the festival, Charli presented her first complete concert since the album arrived last month. She began the performance with ‘Rock Music’, ‘Yeah’ and the popular ‘Brat’ track ‘Apple’.

Other selections from ‘Brat’ included ‘Guess’, ‘Von Dutch’, ‘360’, ‘365’ and ‘Club Classics’. She also performed newer material such as ‘Wink Wink’, ‘Card Declined’, ‘Pink Diamond’ and ‘If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got?’. During ‘Guess’, Charli referenced the music video featuring Billie Eilish by showering the audience with women’s underwear.

 

 

 

Near the conclusion, Charli delivered consecutive performances of ‘2007’, ‘Camera’, ‘party 4 u’, ‘Playboy Bunny’ and ‘SS26’. Earlier in the concert, she gave ‘House’ and ‘Dying For You’ their first live performances. Both songs appear on her soundtrack for the recent Wuthering Heights remake.

Neither soundtrack track had previously been performed in concert. ‘House’ featured John Cale’s spoken audio through the venue speakers, while heavy rain created a dramatic atmosphere as Charli sang the emotional chorus.

Charli appeared in custom stage outfits created by James Walker, Jing Hé and other designers throughout the show. Certain tracks received simple performances with limited lighting, while others featured pyrotechnics, numerous dancers and ambitious production.

She finished the concert by presenting the first complete performance of ‘No One Lasts Forever’, accompanied by David Cronenberg’s closing audio through the speakers. See additional footage and the entire setlist below.

Before her Chicago and Nashville appearances, Charli introduced several new tracks during a special Brooklyn concert last month. She performed ‘Playboy Bunny’, ‘Wink Wink’, ‘If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got?’, ‘Camera’ and ‘SS26’, before delivering a similar selection in London soon afterwards.

 

Earlier in the week, she also appeared unexpectedly at Lollapalooza during Lorde’s performance. The pair reunited for ‘Girl, So Confusing’, their successful collaboration from the 2024 ‘Brat’ remix album.

Charli will travel back to the UK later this month for her first headline appearances at Reading & Leeds festivals. A North American arena tour will follow in September. Any remaining tickets can be found here.

Awarding ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ four stars, NME called the record a “celebration of art – and its capacity to let you transcend your bounds for something new – feels urgent and timeless”.

Charli has also released a companion movie and a collection of additional tracks. Elsewhere, she named her five favourite Charli XCX songs, highlighting the “ultimate party song” alongside another track that leaves her feeling “very sentimental”.

Jordan Stephens breaks his silence following split from Jade Thirlwall

Jordan Stephens has spoken publicly for the first time about the end of his relationship with Jade Thirlwall.

Reports emerged last week that the Rizzle Kicks star and former Little Mix member had ended their romance after six years together. Jordan later confirmed their separation during his weekly podcast Miss Me?

Speaking to fellow presenter Miquita Oliver, Jordan said he felt "uncomfortable" seeing his personal life become a news headline. He explained that he was not ready to offer any "specificity and insight" about their separation because he had "still not processed" what had happened.

"I'm very conflicted because I definitely pride myself on being open and transparent," he shared. "But this is a difficult one because, if I'm to believe how quickly speculation can arise, I'm always a couple of words or sentences away from making things worse.

"I'm definitely going to talk and write, I think, once things have settled a bit."

Jordan confessed that he had no idea how journalists at The Sun discovered the news. However, he does not want to reveal further details and give the media more material to discuss.

"Right now, I'm silent, Jade's silent," he continued. "People are making all types of wild f**king (theories), as they would always do, and desperately waiting for one of us to unfollow each other or waiting for one of us to post; the metrics are bizarre."

The Down with the Trumpets artist described the circumstances as "weird", explaining that appearing on the podcast and acting as though nothing was happening would have felt dishonest. At the same time, he remains determined to "protect people".

Jordan, who took over from Lily Allen as a Miss Me? presenter last month, clarified that he was not attempting to sound "too cryptic" and suggested he may discuss the situation in greater detail later.

Jordan, 34, and Jade, 33, began dating in 2020 after connecting through Zoom during the Covid 19 lockdown.

The Angel of My Dreams singer has not publicly commented on their separation.
