In a thrilling moment for music fans, Charli XCX joined The Strokes during their headline performance at Outside Lands last night. The collaboration featured a vibrant rendition of “Take It or Leave It” from The Strokes’ iconic 2001 album, Is This It.
Charli, who headlined the festival the previous night, brought her dynamic vocal range to the stage, impressing fans with everything from soft melodies to powerful growls. Julian Casablancas, frontman of The Strokes, humorously acknowledged Charli’s rising star power, declaring, “Congratulations, you have defeated us at the album sales. Your new queen of everything: Charli XCX!”
The energy was electric as the two artists shared the stage, with Charli receiving a warm embrace from Albert Hammond Jr. after their performance. Both artists recently released new albums, with Charli’s Music, Fashion, Film and The Strokes’ Reality Awaits dropping on July 24.
But that wasn’t the only surprise from Charli at the festival. She also made a video appearance during Djo’s set, expressing her delight over his song “Charlie’s Garden” and inviting him to connect after the show.
