Pop music fans are whizzing after Charli XCX shared a resounding photo alongside fellow British artists PinkPantheress and Shygirl, taken during the recent LIDO Festival in London’s Victoria Park on June 14, 2025.
The image, posted on social media, has ignited speculation about potential collaborations and the trio’s role in extending the cultural phenomenon of Charli’s Brat era, which continues to dominate headlines a year after its release.
Here’s the latest on what’s cooking with these hyperpop icons and why this moment matters for music fans.
The photo captures Charli XCX, PinkPantheress, and Shygirl radiating Brat energy, with Charli’s signature lime-green aesthetic tying the trio together.
The trio’s appearance together follows their electrifying performances at LIDO Festival, where Charli headlined her curated PARTYGIRL event, featuring a star-studded lineup including PinkPantheress, The Dare, Gesaffelstein, and Shygirl.
The festival, attended by 35,000 fans, was described as a “victory lap” for Charli’s Brat album, which sparked the viral “Brat summer” movement in 2024.
PinkPantheress, fresh off her May 2025 mixtape Fancy That, made a surprise appearance during The Dares’ set to perform their hit “Stateside”, a track she’s called her favourite from her latest release.
Shygirl, who collaborated with Charli on the high-octane “365” remix, kicked off Charli’s headline set, cementing her role as a key player in the Brat universe.
Fans are speculating about a deeper collaboration, especially after PinkPantheress expressed her desire to work with Charli in a Paper Magazine interview, to which Charli responded with a teasing “Well hello” on X in May 2025.
What’s next? Sources hint that Charli, known for her collaborative spirit, may be cooking up a new track with PinkPantheress, whose hyperpop style aligns perfectly with Charli’s electronic dance sound.
Shygirl’s experimental edge could add a bold twist, potentially leading to a remix of Charli’s Hello Goodbye or a fresh single.
With Charli’s Brat remix album already featuring stars like Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande, a trio project could redefine pop in 2025.
