Ireland set for 'Brat summer' redux as Charli XCX announces two concert dates

Charli XCX will play Dublin's Malahide Castle on June 17 followed by the Belsonic festival at Belfast's Ormeau Park on June 18.

Ticketmaster Ireland announced Charli XCX's Dublin and Belfast concerts today, Wednesday, November 20, adding that the British singer will be supported by The Japanese House on both dates.

It will be a return to Dublin for Charli XCX who opened for Taylor Swift at Croke Park in 2018.

A presale for Mastercard holders is now live for the Charli XCX concert in Dublin; regular tickets are priced €59.90-€69.90 each while VIP packages are €122.90 each.

A presale for Charli XCX's Belfast show will begin on Ticketmaster tomorrow, November 21.

General ticket sales for Charli XCX's Dublin and Belfast shows will begin this Friday, November 22 at 12 pm Irish time.

With her Malahide Castle gig, Charli XCX - real name Charlotte Emma Aitchison - joins a stellar lineup of artists who have played the Dublin venue over the years. Previous performers include The Killers, Florence + The Machine, Sting, Hozier, Mumford and Sons, and Prince.

Meanwhile, Ormeau Park in Belfast has a similarly impressive roster of artists who have played there, including Lizzo, Paolo Nutini, Tom Jones, David Guetta, and Lionel Richie.

Ticketmaster says that avant-pop and electronic superstar Charli XCX (real name Charlotte Emma Aitchison) has become an iconic figure in the arts, having helped expand the landscape of popular music over the last decade by seamlessly traversing the underground and mainstream with her artistic output.

Over the course of a trailblazing career, the multi-hyphenate creative has earned critical acclaim for her innovative style and entrepreneurial spirit and seen her forward-thinking approach reshape pop culture in the process.

She released her sixth studio album 'BRAT' in June 2024, which stands as the most critically acclaimed album of the year and landed at Number 1 on the UK Official Album Chart in October.

'BRAT' has well and truly made its mark on the cultural zeitgeist this year; the audacious campaign has seen Charli cause roadblocks around the world with her pop-up 'PARTYGIRL' DJ sets, break the internet with viral videos and surprise collaborations with the likes of Billie Eilish, Lorde, Addison Rae, Robyn, Yung Lean, Julia Fox, Chloë Sevigny, and Rachel Sennott and introduce a new tone of green to the social lexicon.

The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize 2024 while "Guess" featuring Billie Eilish debuted at Number 1 on the UK Official Singles Chart, making Charli the first British artist to land at the top of the charts this year.

In October, Charli followed it up with "Brat and it's completely different but also still brat" - a brand-new version of the critically acclaimed album featuring reimagined takes and innovative reworks of tracks from "BRAT" featuring the likes of Julian Casablancas, Bon Iver, The 1975, Shygirl, Ariana Grande, Caroline Polachek and more.

Charli XCX could be heading to Dublin and Belfast next summer armed with a slew of Grammy Awards as well. She's been nominated in the Best Music Video, Best Dance / Electronic Album, Best Dance Pop Recording, Best Pop Duo / Group Performance, Best Pop Solo Performance, Album of the Year, and Record of the Year categories.
