Festival-goers at Primavera Sound 2025 were treated to an unforgettable moment on Thursday night when rising pop star Chappell Roan made a surprise appearance during Charli XCX’s high-energy set. The two artists joined forces onstage to perform the now-viral «Apple» dance, sending the crowd into a frenzy and lighting up social media.
As Charli XCX launched into her infectious new track «Apple»—which has taken over TikTok with its signature choreography—fans were already on high alert for something special. But no one expected the sudden arrival of Roan, who strutted onto the stage in full glam, ready to slay the dance alongside Charli.

Chappell nailed every move of the viral routine, proving once again why she’s become one of 2024’s breakout stars. The surprise moment quickly went viral.
The «Apple» dance, choreographed by Nick Antonyan and popularized by TikTok creators over the past month, has become a staple at Charli XCX’s recent shows. But this was the first time she shared the stage with another artist for the performance—especially one as buzzed-about as Chappell Roan.
Both Charli and Chappell have been vocal supporters of each other’s work, and Thursday night’s appearance only solidified their growing status as pop icons pushing the boundaries of the genre.
With her Saturday night headlining slot still to come, Roan has officially taken over Primavera Sound—and pop fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
