Brat summer touched down in the Balearic Islands earlier this month when Charli XCX brought her Partygirl party night to Ibiza’s legendary club Amnesia for a very packed and very buzzy Boiler Room set on July 13.

The artist of the summer launched the set with Brat‘s “365,” then blazed through the album — with tracks like “Guess,” “Club classics” and more — while the crowd writhed behind her. Wearing a chic cream colored top and occasionally clutching a glass of champagne, the artist also welcomed guests including The Dare, Zoe Glitter, Alex Chapman and George Daniel, who altogether incorporated songs including Rico Nasty and Boys Noize’s “Arintintin,” Troye Sivan’s “Rush,” Da Hool’s “Meet Her at the Loveparade” and an edit of Robert Miles’ 1995 club classic “Children.”

The night’s lineup also featured Shygirl, Romy and Ladies of Leisure, the latter of whom delivered us very FOMO-inducing footage directly from the event. Watch the complete 95 minute performance below.

“The reason I love electronic music and clubs and DJs so much is that everything is endless,” XCX said in her recent Billboard cover story. “Everything can be repurposed, reimagined. As a pop writer, I find that exciting. It was cool to use Boiler Room as a space to demonstrate that artists often make five different versions of a song and the song that is put out is not the only one.”

Two Brat tracks are currently on the Hot 100, with “360” at No. 55 and “Apple” at No. 81. The album is also dominating Hot Dance/Electronic Songs with 16 tracks on the chart, the highest of which, “Apple,” is at No. 4. Brat currently sits at No. 14 on the Billboard 200.

LyricFind Sues Rival Musixmatch in Antitrust Suit Over ‘Unprecedented’ Warner Licensing Deal

The lawsuit claims that a "first-of-its-kind" agreement between Musixmatch and Warner Chappell means streamers like Spotify will have "no choice" about where to get lyrics.

LyricFind is suing Musixmatch over allegations that its rival struck an exclusive licensing deal with Warner Music Group (WMG) that’s “unprecedented in the music industry” and is aimed at securing an illegal monopoly for providing lyrics to streamers like Spotify.

In a complaint filed Wednesday (March 6) in San Francisco federal court, the Canadian-founded company LyricFind accuses Musixmatch and private equity owner TPG Global of violating federal antitrust laws by signing the deal with Warner Chappell Music (WCM), the publishing division of WMG, claiming it was designed to crush competition.
