A brat summer once again: Charli XCX announces Dublin and Belfast shows next year

The pop singer is set to play Malahide Castle in Dublin on 17 June and Belsonic in Belfast on 18 June 2025.

PULL THE LIME green jackets back out – Charli XCX has announced two shows here next year, one in Dublin and one in Belfast.

The pop singer is set to play Malahide Castle in Dublin on 17 June and the Belsonic festival in Belfast on 18 June 2025.

The announcement was made this morning with ticket sales to follow in just a couple of days.

Promotor MCD is running a presale tomorrow at 12pm, followed by the general sale on Friday at 12pm.

Charli XCX has had a loyal following since the early 2010s but her popularity skyrocketed this summer with the release of her album ‘brat’.

The album and its clever branding sparked the ‘brat summer’ social media trend, which even US Vice President Kamala Harris got on board with in her election campaign.

    Kamala didn’t turn out very “brat” after her endorsement.

    @Tired Jim: Tired jim / Paul m doe / william slevin / fintan pox / john doe / john m doe / john p doe /ulysses / exhausted jim / tired jim / john jon / lefty tears / lefty cries and dozens more troll accounts . Read any of their posts and you will see the quality of his comments, he has never added anything constructive or of any merit to any conversation on this platform. He has been banned on many occasions for good reason.
    On one hand , it is sad to think how someone’s life choices have led them to be this desperate for attention , while on the other hand it is easy to see that he is so pathetic that nobody will interact with him in the real world.

    It is a sad reflection on the human race as a whole that we can no longer produce or recognise good quality music and talented singers.

    Charli XCX, I’m thinking the XCX is Brat slang for Essex where she was raised.
