Charli XCX lit up Coachella in full ‘Brat’ mode, and she wasn’t alone.
The pop disruptor hit the stage Saturday night (April 13) in Indio, California, for her first-ever solo Coachella set. And yeah, she brought it. Neon green visuals, screaming fans, viral choreo moments, and three major surprise guests.
Billie Eilish joined her for the live debut of the ‘Guess’ remix, and the crowd lost it. If anyone still doubted the collab, it was dead on arrival. Energy? Off the charts.
Then came Lorde, popping up for a raw, emotional run of ‘Girl, So Confusing.’ The moment had a personal, confessional edge, especially given Lorde teased her first new solo song in years just days ago. Charli hyped it up after their duet: “Lorde summer 2025!”
And just when fans thought the cameos were over, Troye Sivan hit the stage for ‘Talk Talk’. Smooth, flirty, and totally unexpected.
In the crowd? Timothée Chalamet, casually vibing like every indie-boy dream in a hoodie. Models Alex Consani and Gabriette also made appearances during the viral ‘Apple’ dance segment, locking in the performance as a peak Gen Z moment.
Charli XCX ended her Coachella set with a messy, meta, perfectly on-brand screen message, questioning if ‘Brat Summer’ was over. Spoiler: it’s not.
“Does this mean that Brat Summer is finally over????? idk? Maybe? yes cuz duh it was already over like last year. wait…was it? NO??? i don’t know who i am if it’s over??? F***KKKKKKK wait…i remembered…i’m charli.”
She nailed the vibe: chaos, confidence, and not wanting the moment to end.
Charli XCX is keeping the brat dream alive, next stops include Glastonbury, LIDO Festival, and Parklife. Summer hasn’t even started yet, and she’s already owning it.
