Charli XCX, dancepop star of limegreen ‘Brat’ album fame, to play Target Center in April
Nov 22, 2024
Charli XCX is, finally, bringing her club classics to the Twin Cities in 2025, after Minnesota did not make the initial cut for this year’s tour stops in support of her mega-popular 2024 album “Brat.”
The British dance-pop star is set to perform Saturday, April 26, at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.
Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster starting at 2 p.m. Nov. 26. You can try to snag tickets early through the presale, which begins at 10 a.m. that day — but to do so, you must register online by 9 a.m. Nov. 25. Ticket prices were not immediately announced.
Charli XCX announced the Minneapolis show Friday along with a handful of other extra U.S. stops, including shows in Austin, Brooklyn and the Chicago area, sandwiched between a couple of spring concerts in Mexico City and at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and a summer of shows in Europe.
She was most recently in town in 2022, at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul — and the significant jump in venue size for this tour underscores just how big a sensation “Brat” has been. Previously, she has performed several other smaller solo shows and stadium opening sets in the Twin Cities, including for Taylor Swift in 2018 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
“Brat” is Charli XCX’s sixth album and, along with the popular “Brat summer” trend online, has made a significant cultural impact since it was released in June. The album was nominated for several Grammy Awards and shortlisted for the Mercury Prize. Charli XCX also contributed a song to last year’s “Barbie” movie soundtrack, and previous hits have included “”Boom Clap” and “Break the Rules.”
