Performance

Music, Fashion, Film Tour

2 upcoming performances in New York

Now at Barclays Center, Charli XCX brings her Music, Fashion, Film Tour to New York, with Underscores opening the bill in a rock/pop frame that still makes room for electronic spillover. Her path runs from self-released teenage tracks to mixtapes and EPs, a mainstream breakthrough via a defining feature, and a major-label debut that formalized her role as a pop auteur. In NYC, where pop is routinely tested against club culture and art-school taste, this tour reads like a field report on how image, sound, and authorship travel together. The show argues, quietly, that pop’s most durable innovations often arrive packaged as branding.
