Charli XCX Postpones US Tour Dates So She Can Open For Paramore
Charli XCX has postponed her first headlining US tour after Paramore swooped in and asked her to open for them on their UK dates in September. This is the second time this year Charli has put off a cluster of shows: earlier this month, the starlet canceled her fall European tour so that she could start working on the follow-up to her debut album True Romance.
Charli’s US dates will only pushed back about a month (to October/November), but based on the singer’s tweets and an accompanying Facebook post, she’s still pretty broken up about the development, even though it’s an important opportunity for her (she called it “super scary and exciting”). I’m sure her fans can wait the extra month, especially after she promised new music “is coming very very very soon.”

Hey everyone… Ok so I’m really upset and sad to say that I have had to postpone my US tour for a month or so.

The honest reason it’s been moved is bcoz I got offered 2 support paramore in the UK @ the end of September.. Which is super scary&exciting

It’s an amazing opportunity for me as I’ve never really toured in the UK and its something that people around me would not let me turn down
