Charli XCX made an unexpected appearance during The 1975's show at Manchester's AO Arena last night (20th January).

Playing 'Vroom Vroom', Charli is the second special guest of the band's current UK tour, after Taylor Swift joined the band at the first of two shows at London’s O2 Arena. Swift performed an acoustic version of ‘Anti-Hero’ from her latest album, 'Midnights', and a solo cover of The 1975’s ‘The City’.
