Charli XCX has said she wants to “transform” arenas on her 2024 tour, saying “we’re definitely in fantasy world” when discussing plans for how the shows are shaping up.

Charli will tour with Troye Sivan on their joint ‘Sweat’ tour and will kick off in North America.

XCX and Sivan are set to co-headline the tour with opening support from Shygirl for all of the dates. Kicking off at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on September 14, the duo will make their way across the country making stops in major cities such as Toronto, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Denver, Los Angeles and more.

Speaking about the ‘Sweat’ tour to Billboard, Charli opened up about their plans so far.

She explained: “We’ve kind of just begun to nail down exactly what we want production wise…at the moment we’re very much in fantasy world of all the things possible. Can we put a cage through the middle of the arena and have the audience be right up at the bars of the cage and us be able to walk through it?…Can we put lights throughout the arena rather than just on the stage? All these things about transforming the space.

“…I hate when shows are contained to like the stage and like a catwalk. I feel like there’s so much possibility within any space to really transform it into something completely unexpected. Obviously, it costs a lot of money to do that so it just depends on how much money we want to lose,” she joked.

The tour will wrap up at the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle on October 23. Check out the full list of tour dates below and visit here to purchase tickets.

The announcement of the co-headlining tour comes after XCX announced details of a UK arena tour which is set to take place in November this year. The singer will play four headline shows, the biggest ever in her home country, and she will be joined by Shygirl on all of the dates.

Speaking to NME earlier this year about what to expect from her acclaimed album ‘BRAT’, Charli said: “It’s kind of bitchy and gossipy and hardcore and very club feeling. It’s definitely one for the girls who like to party and sweat and rave.

“I feel good about the music. Every artist says this about their new record but I really do feel like this is my best music [yet]. I’m super excited.”
