Charli XCX Debuts Full 'Music, Fashion, Film' Setlist at Lollapalooza 2026: What Happened Onstage

Charli XCX headlined Lollapalooza 2026 in Chicago on Friday, July 31, sharing top billing that night with The Smashing Pumpkins. The set marked her first full-length live performance since the release of her album Music, Fashion, Film, running 23 songs with pyrotechnics, a large dance ensemble, and three live debuts.

What happened onstage

The show opened with a run of "Rock Music," "Yeah," and the Brat-era hit "Apple," setting the tone early. Midway through, during "Guess," Charli restaged the visual signature of the Billie Eilish-starring music video, having crew members throw women's underwear into the crowd — the moment that generated the most buzz on the night, according to NME.

Two songs from the soundtrack to the Wuthering Heights remake — "House" and "Dying for You" — got their live debuts. "House" was staged with a voiceover recording from John Cale and a simulated downpour effect. The closer, the full version of "No One Lasts Forever," also debuted live, ending with an audio monologue from director David Cronenberg layered over the track.

Charli wore custom stage looks designed by James Walker and Jing Hé throughout the set, alternating between stripped-down lighting for some songs and full pyrotechnics and dancers for others.

Also that week: a Lorde cameo

Earlier the same week, Charli appeared as a surprise guest during Lorde's Lollapalooza set, performing their 2024 collaboration "Girl, So Confusing" from the Brat remix album together onstage.
