Chart-topping Charli XCX has been confirmed as the main music stage headliner for the Forwards festival on The Downs. It will be a Bristol festival debut for the singer, who sold-out a gig at London’s Alexandra Palace last week.
Charli XCX - real name Charlotte Aitchison - started her career in 2008 when she posted songs on Myspace, but was quickly spotted and signed up for a major record deal. Since then, she has released five albums, the latest, Crash, hitting the number one spot earlier this year.
Following her current UK and North American tours, the avant-pop performer and singer-songwriter-producer, will take the stage at Forwards on the Saturday night. Charli XCX is known for speaking out, stepping back from social media and focusing on her mental health.
