Second O2 London Date Added by Charli XCX, Pushing 2027 Tour to Seven Stops — Limits Already Made Clear

For her 2027 "Music, Fashion, Film" tour, Charli XCX has expanded to seven shows by adding a February 20 date at London's O2 Arena, this after she'd already responded to criticism about the tour having too few dates.

Second O2 London Date Added by Charli XCX, Pushing 2027 Tour to Seven Stops — Limits Already Made Clear

Add a show first, explain your limits after — this time, Charli XCX did things a bit backwards.

Charli XCX has added an extra date at London's O2 Arena for her 2027 "Music, Fashion, Film" tour, scheduled for February 20, right after the original February 19 show. This expands the full UK and European run to seven dates, with stops including Dublin's 3Arena (February 13), Glasgow's OVO Hydro (February 15), Manchester's Co-op Live (February 17), London's O2 Arena (February 19–20), Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome (February 22), and Paris's Accor Arena (February 24). Singer-songwriter Audrey Hobert will serve as support act.

Before the added date was announced, Charli XCX had faced criticism from some fans over the limited number of tour stops. She responded on Instagram: "I know there's a lot of comments about me not doing more dates. I'm sorry if that's disappointing but I have to stay true to who I actually am as a performer — touring is really hard for me emotionally and physically." She continued: "I'm not looking for sympathy, and I have so much respect for artists who can handle intense, long tours, but that's not me, and it never has been."

Born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, she released her eighth studio album, "Music, Fashion, Film," this past July — a highly anticipated follow-up to "Brat." In a four-star review, NME described the album as "a snapshot of a truly contemporary artist's stardom," writing that its "celebration of art and its ability to push you beyond your own limits, toward something new, feels both urgent and timeless."

Tickets for the newly added date are now on sale, with ticketing information for the remaining shows available through the tour's official channels.
