POP princess Charli XCX delivers stupendously catchy tunes for the “woke” generation.

Her Halloween set, which did not have any references to the Brexit delay, had an angels and demons theme with many an adoring fan donning the fancy dress of either-or.

Charli herself had the best of both worlds, appearing for the first half of her set in an angelic white gown before swapping into a devil's outfit.

From the moment she opens with Next Level Charli and douses the crowd with confetti, to the ravey closer 1999, her high-octane performance brings the house down.

Showcasing her eponymous third album Charli, arguably her best if you don't include the masterful mixtape Pop 2, she flaunts her gift for the anthemic tune and hits those harmonious highs on numbers like Blame It On Your Love — itself a reworked version of Pop 2’s Track 10 — Thoughts and I Don’t Wanna Know.

On an album of hit tunes full of collaborations, including with HAIM, Sky Ferreira and Kim Petras, it’s clear from the get-go that they won’t all be appearing. But the one everyone hopes for but no-one’s expecting, Christine And The Queens, suddenly emerges upstage wearing a halo to give an unforgettable duet with Charli on their song Gone.

An encore that includes early hit I Love It is a reminder of how far the Cambridge-born singer has come. Her recent output is proof that she’s now at the cutting edge of electronic-pop songcraft. The future of pop is here.
