Charli XCX has become a household name this year, with her sixth album BRAT debuting at number 3 on the Billboard Top 100 Charts and making it to number one in the UK, Ireland and Australia.

Electro pop superstar Charli XCX has revealed she will be bringing her BRAT tour to Ireland next summer. Charli will be headlining both Malahide Castle, Dublin and Belsonic in Ormeau Park, Belfast on June 17 and 18 respectively.

She will be joined by alternative indie artist Amber Bain aka The Japanese House, which will mark the musician's first Irish performance since she supported The 1975 in 2016.

The Japanese House features on the remix of Charli’s track ‘Apple’, which was released in September.

Charli also made headlines and became a topic of discussion on American news station CNN after endorsing Kamala Harris in a tweet which simply read “kamala IS brat”.

Brat also became Collins Dictionary World of the Year, with the dictionary defining the word as being "characterised by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude."

The party girl has just finished touring America as part of The Sweat Tour, a collaboration with Australian pop prince Troye Sivan. Fans have relentlessly requested the duo bring The Sweat Tour to The UK and Europe, although Troye disclosed in a recent tiktok that it is unlikely, due to conflicts with scheduling.

The artist released a remix album in September - Brat and it's completely different but it's also still brat - featuring collaborations from the likes of Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, The 1975, Julian Casablancas and Bon Iver.

Charli is currently working on a number of film projects, co-executive producing the score for the A24 film Mother Mary alongside Jack Antonoff. She is also set to star in the Daniel Goldhaber remake of 1978 horror film Faces of Death and Greg Araki’s erotic thriller I Want Your Sex.

Tickets for Charli XCX Malahide Castle will be priced at €59.90.

General sale for Malahide Castle and Belsonic in Ormeau Park is set for this Friday November 22 at 12pm from ticketmaster.ie
