Charli XCX Unnoticed at Lido Festival While Smoking and Cheering

Charli XCX went completely unnoticed at Lido Festival on Saturday as she watched some performances in the crowd ahead of her headline show.

The singer, 32, took to the stage of London’s Brockwell Park in front of 35,000 people and insisted ‘Brat Summer was forever’.

But before her anticipated performance, Charli enjoyed the rest of the festival as she was seen smoking a cigarette while watching Japanese House on the main stage.

Charli delighted her fans at the sold-out concert, bringing surprise guest Amelia Dimoldenberg out to do the iconic apple dance.

The hitmaker turned the stage into a club with strobe flashing lights, heavy techno beats and a waterfall.

Charli wore tiny hotpants as she sipped an Aperol spritz on stage while working her way through the Brat album.

She is a known fan of smoking, even lighting up a cigarette while performing on stage during her Brat tour.

Charli screamed to the crowd ‘You ready?’ and yelled with autotune ‘Put your hands up’ as her she sang her hits.

The songstress recently opened up about her next album, admitting that she’s prepared for it ‘to be a flop.’

Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, reached a major career milestone with the release of her sixth album last year.

It became her highest-charting record, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and even earning her a Grammy Award.

However, in a new interview, Charli revealed that commercial success isn’t her main focus going forward.

She explained that maintaining creative freedom is far more important to her than chasing chart positions.

Speaking to Culted at the Cannes International Film Festival, she said: ‘I don’t really feel the pressure to create another record like ‘Brat’ because when I was making it, even though I really believed in it and totally knew what I wanted to do with it, I had no idea how it would be received.

‘I was really doing it for myself and marketing it in the way I wanted to for myself but I had no clue that people would kind of connect to it in the way that they did,’ she said.

Charli also hinted that her next album will take a completely different direction.

‘You can never really do the same thing twice and my next record will probably be a flop which I’m down for to be honest,’ she added.
