Charli XCX has delivered her first full ‘Music, Fashion, Film‘ headline show at Lollapalooza 2026, and broken out two songs live for the first time. Check out footage and the setlist below.
The stacked performance at Lollapalooza took place on Friday night (July 31) as Charli topped the bill alongside The Smashing Pumpkins for the 2026 edition of the Chicago festival.
Ahead of the slot, the singer played an intimate pre-Lollapalooza slot in Nashville, where she broke out numerous tracks from her new ‘Music, Fashion, Film‘ album for the first time in a live setting – including ‘Magic Metal Montana’, ‘Card Declined’ and ‘2007’.
Now, at the festival set, she has played her first full length show since releasing the record last month and kicked things off with ‘Rock Music’, ‘Yeah’ and ‘Brat’ fan favourite ‘Apple’.
Other songs from ‘Brat’ to make the cut included ‘Guess’, ‘Von Dutch’, ‘360’, ‘365’, ‘Club Classics’ and more, and newer cuts from the latest album included ‘Wink Wink’, ‘Card Declined’, ‘Pink Diamond’, and ‘If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got?’.
Towards the end of the set, there were back-to-back renditions of ‘2007’, ‘Camera’, ‘party 4 u’, ‘Playboy Bunny’, and ‘SS26’, and earlier on in the set there was the live debut of both ‘House’ and ‘Dying For You’ – both taken from her soundtrack to the recent Wuthering Heights remake.
Neither song from that soundtrack album had been played live before, and the former included the voiceover from John Cale played through the speakers, as well as a dramatic downpour of rain as Charli broke out the heartfelt chorus.
Throughout the set, Charli wore custom stage looks designed by James Walker, Jing Hé and more, and while some songs saw her perform stripped back renditions with minimal lights, others saw her go all out with pyro, a crowd of backing dancers and more high level production.
To close the set, the singer played the first full rendition of ‘No One Lasts Forever’, which included the audio of the David Cronenberg outro played over the speakers. Check out the setlist and more footage below.

Ahead of the shows in Chicago and Nashville, Charli broke out a few of the new songs in a live setting at her one-off show in Brooklyn earlier last month. There she played ‘Playboy Bunny’, ‘Wink Wink’, ‘If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got?’, ‘Camera’ and ‘SS26’ live, before playing a similar set in London shortly after.
Earlier last week, she made a special appearance at Lollapalooza, coming out as a special guest as Lorde performed ‘Girl, So Confusing’ – her huge collab with Charli, taken from 2024’s ‘Brat’ remix record.
Later this month, Charli will return to the UK to make her headline debut at Reading & Leeds festivals. She is then scheduled to embark on a North American arena tour in September. Find any remaining tickets here.
In a four-star review of ‘Music, Fashion, Film’, NME described the album as a “celebration of art – and its capacity to let you transcend your bounds for something new – feels urgent and timeless”.
Charli has shared an accompanying film, as well as a series of B-sides. Elsewhere, the singer revealed her top five Charli XCX songs, including the “ultimate party song” and a track that makes her feel “very sentimental”.
