Charli xcx has responded to “boomer comments” about her Glastonbury set on the Other Stage on Saturday night (June 28). The Brat star drew one of the weekend’s biggest crowds for her set on the festival’s second-biggest stage; The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo were booked for Pyramid, while Loyle Carner and The Prodigy joined her on the Other.
On Sunday night (June 29), Charli posted a string of comments on X (formerly Twitter) addressing critics of her set. “like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a ‘real artist’ is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx,” she wrote.
She added: “but to be honest… i enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable.”
Charli then shared a five-star review from The Guardian, before closing with: “really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my glastonbury performance. it’s super fascinating to me.” See her posts below.
The set was well-received by many outlets and fans, though a minority of fans posted their displeasure. One called it “one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life,” and another said she “sounds so bad she has to sing with so much autotune every time she performs live.”
The set was broadcast live on BBC One and on the channel’s streaming service iPlayer. The performance followed her Coachella slot in April, and the Brat run is due to continue in the coming weeks before her final scheduled date in South Korea on Aug. 15.
During the Glastonbury performance, Gracie Abrams performed the famous “Apple” dance for the big screens, following other stars who’ve joined in on the viral trend at Charli’s shows recently, including Chappell Roan and Lorde.
