Charli XCX In The U.K.

As we wait for the release of Charli XCX’s second major label studio album, the British singer is continuing to add to her 2015 schedule. After touring Europe with Katy Perry in February and March, she’ll stick around the U.K. for a spring headline tour.  

Charli XCX will help fans get in a festive mood with a series of holiday radio shows. She’s playing seven out of the nine official Jingle Ball tour gigs including the KIIS FM Jingle Ball in Los Angeles Dec. 5, Z100 Jingle Ball in New York Dec. 12, Chicago’s 103.5 Jingle Ball in Rosemont Dec. 18, and 93.3 FLZ’s Jingle Ball in Tampa, Fla., Dec. 22.

Although U.S. fans can get their hands on the new LP, Sucker, Dec. 16, U.K. and Europe will have to wait until Jan. 26.
