Charli xcx Burns ‘Brat' at Packed Glastonbury Set: 'I Don't Know Who I Am If It's Over'
Charli xcx and Neil Young had Glastonbury split in two Saturday night. Many of the festival fans were supporting Young and The Chrome Hearts on the Pyramid stage late in the evening, but as the performances clashed, an even bigger proportion wanted to witness the culture-defining Brat set. More from The Hollywood Reporter Glastonbury Organizers "Appalled" by Bob Vylan Chants: "There Is No Place for Antisemitism" Kneecap Shocks as Expected With Raucous Glastonbury Set: "The BBC Editor Is Going to Have Some Job" Sony, Crunchyroll Drop First 'Demon Slayer' Trailer Charli started her set with a burning Brat sign towering over her shoulder, before thrilling with album favorites like '365' and 'Von dutch.' She continued delighting the thousands of fans watching on with some of her old school hits including 'party 4 u' and 'I Love It.' 'I know I'm meant to have a heart of stone,' the English star said from the Other stage, 'but this is very fucking emotional right now… Thank you so much, you're fucking cool as fuck. But not as cool as me, bitch!' Among some of the highlights from the set included Gracie Abrams — on Worthy Farm this weekend as a performer, also — being selected as Charli's 'Apple' girl. The Brit said: 'I love you so much, Gracie,' as the U.S. singer blew kisses at the camera. At the end of the raucous performance, where Charli sipped white wine and splashed around in on-stage rain, signage on either side of the stage thanked fans for their ongoing support. 'I think you've all proven to me that brat is forever,' one of them read, 'I don't know who I am if it's over.' Some were questioning the decision to put Charli on the Other stage while headliner Young, who drew a notably smaller crowd, was on the Pyramid slot. Other take-aways from this weekend's Glastonbury Festival, the U.K.'s crowning jewel of music festivals in Somerset, England, include The 1975's headline set — where Charli's partner and band drummer George Daniel graced the stage — as well as Lorde's surprise performance on the Woodsies stage Friday morning.
