Charli XCX Announces 2026 Tour, Opener Underscores Cancels Headline Shows

About two years ago, Charli XCX and Troye Sivan announced plans for their Sweat Tour, an ambitious trip across the arenas of North America. At the time, there was speculation that they were leveling up too hastily, that the tour would be an embarrassing flop like so many of the others that have come up since. But then Brat Summer happened, and the tour became a sensation, a straight-up cultural event. Later this year, Charli XCX will return to America's arenas, and nobody doubts her anymore.

Last week, Charli XCX announced her new album Music, Fashion, Film after already sharing the early singles "Rock Music" and "SS26." Technically, it's her second album of 2026, since she already did the Wuthering Heights soundtrack. But Music, Fashion, Film promises to be a new-era reinvention, and she got John Cale, Marc Jacobs, and Martin Scorsese into the same room to pose for the cover art. Today, Charli announces her Music, Fashion, Film tour, which will hit North America's arenas after she finishes up with the summer festival season.

This time around, Charli doesn't have a co-headliner. Instead, rising hyperpop auteur Underscores, whose new album U is one of our favorites of the year thus far, will open. The tour must've come together pretty quickly, since Underscores has had to cancel the September headlining dates that she'd already planned to join this tour.

A limited number of tickets at every Charli XCX headlining show will be available for $20. The first five rows of every gig will have a limited number of charity tickets, with 50% of proceeds going to the Transgender Law Center. Check out Charli's dates below.
