Less than a day after her own Friday headline set, Charli XCX took to the stage again at Outside Lands — this time as a guest of The Strokes.
The joint performance featured "Take It or Leave It." The unexpected meeting created a special musical moment: one of the defining bands of 2000s New York indie rock met one of today's biggest pop stars.
The business value of moments like this is huge: they can generate thousands of organic videos, news items and social media shares, further boosting the festival's FOMO effect.
