Charli XCX Celebrates Heavy Band Turnstile at Coachella 2025

At Coachella 2025, Charli XCX played a prominent role in shaping festival culture by signaling the end of 'Brat Summer' and spotlighting a range of artists and creatives—both musicians and filmmakers—during her main stage performances. Her sets featured surprise appearances by artists like Troye Sivan, Lorde, and Addison Rae, while her outro included rapid-fire shoutouts to anticipated acts and upcoming albums, including the heavy band Turnstile, whose new album is due out June 6. This gesture was seen as Charli 'passing the torch' to other creatives for the summer and was celebrated as a way of encouraging cross-genre recognition. The festival also saw Green Day playfully engage with Charli XCX following rumors of a feud, with both sides exchanging humorous social media nods and fashion statements, ultimately putting any speculation to rest. Charli’s inclusive approach, which extended to filmmakers and emerging pop stars, was interpreted as a call for renewed connections across music and cinema, drawing attention to the shifting landscape of popular culture. Fans and commentators alike viewed Charli’s actions as emblematic of her influence and her embrace of the broader creative community.
