Frontier Touring is thrilled to confirm that British pop star Charli XCX will be returning to Australian shores this April/May to play headline shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane while in the country to perform at 2015's Groovin The Moo Festival.
Charli's live show is not to be missed, promising an unforgettable night of dancing and massive pop anthems:
'I just want to give them an hour of sweating and totally losing their minds, no matter what's going on that day or what you're worried about.' - USA Today
22-year-old Charli XCX burst onto the international pop scene in 2012 after co-writing and featuring on smash hit 'I Love It' with Swedish synthpop duo Icona Pop. The track took off after it was featured on Lena Dunham's television show 'Girls,' eventually earning a 4x Platinum certification in Australia.
Things continued to heat up for the star in 2013, after she dropped her critically acclaimed debut album True Romance. Pitchfork gave the album a glowing review and 8.3 rating, claiming the star '...stamps her personality across the entire project... True Romance suggests she'll be worth following for a while'.
In 2014, Charli XCX followed up her debut's success by co-writing and featuring on Iggy Azalea's global smash 'Fancy.' With over 400 million views on YouTube, 'Fancy' is Spotify's most streamed track of 2014. 'Fancy' was arguably the biggest hit of 2014; spending seven weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, selling seven million copies worldwide and receiving two Grammy nominations including Record of the Year.
The worldwide love for 'Fancy' saw Charli XCX performing alongside Iggy Azalea at countless concerts, television shows and events across the globe, quickly establishing the Brit as a live performer not to be missed:
'Bratty, audacious and demanding every last gram of pure pop energy out of every melody line, Charli's brought along a deliberately pastichey melting pot of y -y , Nineties girl-power pop, and straight up punk.' DIY Mag
'Both performances were enough to let people know that Charli XCX is a force to be reckoned with in 2015.' - Rolling Stone
'The British singer-songwriter didn't disappoint during her first SNL appearance.' - Billboard
Her two solo tracks 'Boom Clap' and 'Break The Rules' have dominated the charts internationally, both achieving platinum certifications in Australia. Combining her two features and two solo tracks, she now has a string of four platinum singles in Australia. Her latest track 'Doing It' (ft. Rita Ora) recently debuted on Buzzfeed and is sure to be another smash hit for the star.
After releasing her sophomore album SUCKER(available now through Warner Music), featuring industry heavyweights like Patrick Berge, StarGate and Benny Blanco, the album earned the title of sixth best album of 2014 by Rolling Stone.
'Charli XCXis the pop star 2014 was waiting for: a badass song writing savant who's the most fun girl in any room she steps into.' - Rolling Stone
Charli XCX will be joined by special guest Tkay Maidza. The past twelve months have been huge for the Zimbabwean-born Adelaide hip-hop artist; her live shows at Splendour In The Grass and BIGSOUND left both fans and critics wanting more and her debut album Switch Tape has caught the attention of some of the biggest tastemakers. One to watch in 2015, make sure you catch the woman FasterLouder deemed one of the 'future legends of Aussie hip-hop'.
Unique and rebellious, breakthrough artist Charli XCX's energetic live show is likely to leave you wanting more. Just make sure you don't miss out!
