Everyone’s favorite brat comes to Philadelphia.

Charli XCX, the British electro-pop sensation, brings her “Sweat” tour to Philadelphia on September 25, with Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan as co-headliner. The concert at the Wells Fargo Center is part of a 21-city U.S. and Canadian tour that kicks off in Detroit on September 14.

The tour, officially titled “Charli XCX & Troye Sivan Present: Sweat,” will be opened by Shygirl. Before the artists reach Philadelphia, they will perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Their latest album, bratreleased in June, has made XCX one of the summer’s top artists. The album’s bold, bright green aesthetic celebrates self-expression and has sparked a cultural movement that includes everything from pseudo-Smoothie collaborations to mentions in national political discourse.

In honor of XCX, Philly bars and venues will be featured on the brat Wave lime green cocktails and pre-concert dance parties.
