Could Australia *finally* be having a brat summer? Here’s why music fans think Charli XCX is headed Down Under

Someone get us a Von Dutch cap immediately.

Live, laugh, brat. It really has been the summer of Charli XCX, and I for one am living for the party girl vibes of Charli and Troye Sivan’s SWEAT Tour all over my TikTok feed.

Sadly for those of us in Australia, we really do miss out on some of music’s most hyped-about tours (don’t even get me started on Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour) but in good news for those of us Down Under, it looks like we could soon be joining the party.

Thanks to the observant work of a few eagle-eyed fans, Charli’s viral ‘brat wall’ advertisements have started to pop up once again across the nation’s capital cities, with the neon green poster now replacing its four-letter slogan with “laneway.”

While this may seem like a niche marketing tactic to some, it’s *major* news for music fans. ICYMI, Australia’s Laneway Festival has announced that they will be dropping their lineup on October 9, 2024, and with the new Charli-coded promo posters finding their home across the country, fans are convinced that the music festival has already low-key confirmed that Charli XCX will be headlining the travelling concert series – AKA brat summer could *finally* be happening!
