Charli XCX brings the attitude to the Other Stage at Glastonbury 2017

  • Dork News Desk
  • June 24, 2017
If you’ve heard anything about Glastonbury over the past few days, it’s that it’s warm. *Really* warm. Sun’s out, guns out (alongside burnt noses, weird hats and the desire to soak it all in) but it still doesn’t quite feel like summer.



That is, until Charli XCX tumbles onto the Other Stage, fully loaded. Riding a mirror clad carnival float, sky-scraped flowers and more shimmering choruses than you can shake a stick of rock at, it’s a glorious sight. Charli’s always been a bit unconventional, a pop-star with way more than one-side, and today she shows that off.



There’s the experimental dance of ‘Roll With Me’, ‘3am’ and ‘Dreamer’, all shuddering beats, fierce attitude and glittering centre before the still-absolutely-bloody-massive hit if ‘I Love It’ sees Charli lean into superstar status. From up high, she’s surrounded by a group of silver wacky-waving-arm-men (you know the ones). It looks like she’s fighting to defend mankind.



Windswept and streaming with cinema, the reality is that Charli’s bolshy, do-whatever-you-fancy attitude has never felt more effortless. It’s by no means a greatest hits but that would be too easy. Where’s the fun in the expected? Instead Charli rolls the dice, shows people what she can really do, and every side lands on greatness.



Charli XCX played:



Roll With Me

Dreamer

Babygirl

I Love It

Break the Rules

ILY2

Vroom Vroom

3AM (Pull Up)

After the Afterparty

1 Night

Fancy

Boom Clap
