Charli XCX sparks backlash over limited Europe tour dates

British singer and songwriter Charli XCX has left some fans disappointed after announcing the UK and European dates for her upcoming Music, Fashion, Film Tour.

The 34-year-old singer shared the news on Instagram on Friday, September 11, revealing that she will bring the highly anticipated tour to the UK and Europe in February 2027.

Charli XCX encouraged fans to sign up for presale access through her official website. The presale is scheduled for September 16 and 17, giving fans an early opportunity to secure tickets for the upcoming shows.

The Brat hitmaker will begin the UK and European leg of the tour on February 13, 2027, with a performance in Dublin, Ireland.

She will then travel to Glasgow for a show on February 15, followed by Manchester on February 17. The singer is scheduled to perform in London on February 19 before heading to Amsterdam on February 22.

The six-date European run will conclude in Paris, France, on February 24.

Charli XCX also revealed that Audrey Hobert will join her as a special guest during the UK and European leg of the tour. Hobert will serve as the opening act for the European shows.

Fans react to the announcement

Although many fans were excited about the European dates, the limited number of shows quickly became a point of criticism on social media.

Several fans questioned why the singer had scheduled only six dates across a handful of European cities while the North American leg includes significantly more performances.

One fan pointed out that Charli XCX has 13 shows scheduled in the United States but only a small number of European dates, calling the decision disappointing.

Another fan criticized the tour for covering only four European countries and argued that the singer should have included more destinations across the continent.

Some fans also questioned the decision to focus on Western European cities instead of visiting other countries where Charli XCX has a large following.

A third fan highlighted the population difference between the United States and the European Union, suggesting that Europe deserved a much larger tour schedule.

Another fan joked that the announced dates looked more like a “school trip schedule” than a full tour.

Despite the criticism, the announcement has also generated excitement among fans looking forward to seeing the singer perform her latest material live.
