FORWARDS
CHARLI XCX FIRST EVER BRISTOL FESTIVAL
Fresh from last week’s seminal sold-out Alexandra Palace gig, Britain's ‘main pop girl’ Charli XCX is revealed today as the final headline act and latest riotous tour-de-force to hit FORWARDS main music stage in Bristol this September, making her first ever festival appearance in the city.
Putting her own spin on mainstream pop, Charli XCX is behind some of the biggest tracks of the last decade, from hits like Out Out, I Love It and Good Ones, to collaborations with Cardi B, Rita Ora, Iggy Azalea, and David Guetta, right through to her landmark lockdown album ‘how i’m feeling now’.
Following the release of her first UK number one album CRASH, and current UK and North American tour, the avant-pop performer, singer-songwriter-producer, will take the stage by storm on Saturday for an iconic Bristol show, that cannot be missed.
FORWARDS. MORE THAN A MUSIC FESTIVAL:
Known for speaking out, stepping back from social media and focusing on her mental health, Charli XCX, embodies the essence of FORWARDS for urgent conversations side by side with music. After her groundbreaking debut documentary 'Alone Together' tested her creative limits and united a global community of vulnerable LGBTQ+ fans, Charli XCX continues to be a leading voice of a generation. 12
FORWARDS is the biggest new international music festival for Bristol, and the first collaboration for AEG Presents and Team Love. The 2 day festival challenges what metropolitan festivals can be today, kickstarting a new breed of city festivals by committing to positive change through social initiatives and a powerful platform for discussion. As well as the two main music stages, FORWARDS will also platform urgent, forward-thinking conversations.
