Fans have been told the Conversations event and after party will be first come, first serve
Charli XCX will host one of her Conversations events at a venue in Exmouth Market tonight (Saturday, May 30) where she is expected to tease new music. The singer, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, confirmed she will host a live talk about “the process of making things” with her husband, The 1975 drummer George Daniel, from 7.30pm at Antisocial before the pair perform a DJ set at nearby Coin Laundry from 8pm.
The 33-year-old pop icon told followers to her b.sides Instagram account that she may hide some new music in the set. Charli held a similar event in New York earlier this month, featuring intimate Q&A sessions with fans about her creative process and songwriting.
She teased the latest event on her main Instagram account on Friday (May 29) with a post which read: “London… tomorrow night?”
The star, who grew up in Essex, released her latest single SS26 and accompanying B-side Playboy Bunny last week which was only made available on record or her B.sides Instagram account. Some fans thought Charli was hinting at a potential appearance at the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell Park tonight before she confirmed otherwise this afternoon.
On May 8, she released the single Rock Music, after an interview in Vogue appeared to suggest the 360 singer was “making rock music” for her upcoming follow-up to 2024’s Brat album, before she said in a post on Instagram: “I never said I was making a rock album.”
Rock Music was accompanied by the B-side I Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day And Night, which is also only available on physical release and Instagram. Charli’s latest music comes after she released a Wuthering Heights companion album to Emerald Fennell’s film of the same name earlier this year, and also the Brat album, which sparked a cultural phenomenon on its release.
The “Brat summer” trend, which caused a frenzy on social media, incorporated sultry fashion choices inspired by the neon green and black album cover.
Earlier this year, the singer starred in The Moment, a semi-fictional film looking at the release of Brat and the world tour that followed, and appeared in other film projects including Pete Ohs’ Erupcja and Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights Of Hero.
Charli has had two UK number one singles and three number one albums, and is best known for tracks such as Boom Clap, Guess and I Love It with Swedish duo Icona Pop.
