Charli XCX announces first U.S. headline tour, performs 'You (Ha Ha Ha)' live

Charli XCX, the Hertfordshire-born synth-popper last seen singing about interior design and cavorting with the ever-ubiquitous Pharrell, is to set out on a mammoth schedule of U.S. tour dates this summer, beginning at the end of August.

The singer, who supported Greco-Welsh heartthrob Marina & the Diamonds on her own Trans-Atlantic tour this year, will tackle a twenty-four date schedule, taking in the Bumbershoot and Meadow Brook festivals in Seattle, WA and Meadow, MI respectively. She will be supported at selected shows by Kitten and Little Daylight.

We deemed her debut LP True Romance to be “a highly cultivated showcase” of lustrous and layered goth pop, and you can read our review here.

Charli was also recently captured live by The Fader when she performed ‘You (Ha Ha Ha)’ at Brooklyn Bound. You can watch that beneath:
