Charli XCX Announces Southern California Arena Tour for Music, Fashion, Film Album
Charli XCX will bring her 2026 North‑American tour to Southern California with two arena dates at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on October 17 and 18. The shows are part of the artist’s new “Music, Fashion, Film” tour, which follows the release of her seventh studio album, Music, Fashion, Film, on July 24.
The album, produced under Atlantic Records, features the singles “SS26” (released May 21) and “Rock Music” (released May 8). “SS26” debuted at number 43 on the UK Official Singles Chart, while “Rock Music” was released under an exclusive license to Atlantic and was written with producers Alexander Guy Cook and Finn Keane. The album’s artwork was photographed by Aidan Zamiri and includes appearances by John Cale, Marc Jacobs and Martin Scorsese.
Ticketing for the Inglewood shows began with a presale registration period that closed on June 10. Presale tickets opened at 9 a.m. on June 12 through Live Nation’s Charli XCX page, and any remaining seats were made available to the public at 1 p.m. the same day on the artist’s official website. In addition to standard tickets, the tour will offer a limited number of $20 “Angel Tickets” aimed at increasing accessibility for fans. These discounted seats will become available in August, with specific locations announced on the day of each concert.
Charli XCX also announced that a small number of charity tickets will be sold for the first five rows of each venue. Half of the net proceeds from these tickets will be donated to the Transgender Law Center.
The Kia Forum, an indoor arena located at 3900 W Manchester Blvd. in Inglewood, has a capacity of roughly 17,500 for concerts. The venue, which opened in 1967, has hosted a variety of high‑profile events, including NBA and NHL games, and is a frequent stop for major touring acts.
The “Music, Fashion, Film” tour is scheduled to run through September and October, with additional dates in cities such as Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, Washington, DC, and Chicago. The tour follows a summer festival run that included Lollapalooza and Outside Lands.
Charli XCX, born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, has built a reputation for blending experimental pop with mainstream appeal. She has earned multiple Grammy and BRIT Awards and has expanded her creative output into fashion, film and visual art. Her previous albums—True Romance (2013), Sucker (2014), Charli (2019), How I’m Feeling Now (2020), Crash (2022), and Brat (2024)—have established her as a versatile artist. The current album’s title reflects the multidisciplinary approach that has become a hallmark of her recent work.
According to Variety, the tour will showcase a stage production that integrates live music with visual elements tied to the album’s fashion and film themes. The tour’s schedule and ticketing details are available through Live Nation and the artist’s official website.
Fans who wish to secure tickets should register for the presale before June 10 and monitor the official channels for the release of Angel Ticket and charity ticket information. The tour’s dates, venue details, and ticketing policies provide a comprehensive overview of Charli XCX’s upcoming live performances in Southern California and beyond.
The tour’s alignment with the album release and its inclusion of charitable components underscore Charli XCX’s continued engagement with both her audience and broader social causes. As the tour progresses, additional information regarding setlists, special guests and production details is expected to be released by the artist’s management team.
