Which announced 2026 headliner released the 2024 album Brat?

The announced 2026 headliner who released the 2024 album Brat is Charli XCX.

Brat is the sixth studio album by British singer and songwriter Charli XCX, released on June 7, 2024. Its deliberately simple title and vivid chartreuse-green visual identity became instantly recognizable, helping turn the album into a wider cultural phenomenon.

The record combines club-oriented electronic pop with lyrics about ambition, insecurity, friendship, fame, and aging in public. Songs such as “360,” “Von Dutch,” “Apple,” and “Guess” helped define its high-energy, self-aware style. The album also inspired the phrase “brat summer,” which spread well beyond music coverage.

A common mix-up is treating the later remix project as the original album. Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat is a separate 2024 release, while Brat itself is the original studio album. Charli XCX’s earlier credits also include co-writing and performing on major pop hits.
