Charli XCX’s Coachella 2025 Mainstage Set Was a ‘Brat’ Victory Lap


Here's what went down during Charli XCX's mainstage set at Coachella 2025.

Given that we’ve all been living through the many seasons of Brat ever since, it felt apt, reasonable and more or less expected that Charli kept her Saturday night performance almost entirely album-centric, using the slot on the Coachella mainstage — where she last appeared in 2023 — to spotlight the LP’s music, collaborators, aesthetic and attitude. While she was able to carry the massive mainstage on her own without many bells, whistles or a single backup dancer, it also demonstrated that things are more fun with friends, as a litany of Brat collaborators joined Charli at various points to perform their respective album cuts. It was moments later that Billie Eilish(wearing baggy shorts, an oversized polo shirt and a backward baseball hat) was onstage to do her part on the undeniable “Guess” remix, with the crowd having one of its biggest bursts of energy of the entire show during the song’s electro build.
