THE LIVE SHOW
What Charli xcx concerts are like
A Charli XCX show on the Brat era feels closer to a rave than a pop concert. The staging is stark, often just Charli, a lime-green colour scheme and heavy strobe lighting, with no backing dancers and loud, club-style mixes of the songs.
Fans wait for 360, Von Dutch and Apple, whose simple dance spread across social media and is copied by the whole room. Older songs such as I Love It and Boom Clap get huge reactions, and famous friends have turned up unannounced for guest verses.
Tips for the Manchester show
- Learn the Apple dance before you go; the whole crowd does it.
- Earplugs help, especially near the speakers, as the sound is mixed like a club.
- Expect a mostly standing, dancing crowd rather than a seated singalong.

Getting to Co-op Live
Co-op Live is an indoor arena in Etihad Campus, east Manchester, with a capacity of around 23,500. The Etihad Campus Metrolink tram stop serves the venue. The listed address is 1 Sports City Way, Manchester.
As an indoor arena, it is weather-proof, but bag-size limits and cloakroom queues are common, so travel light.
Travelling to Manchester for the concert
Most visitors flying in for this show land at Manchester Airport (MAN). A Wednesday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
With a 19:30 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
