Charli XCX debuts complete ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ headline set at Lollapalooza 2026

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”.
