Charli XCX, the British pop star, performed at Club Quarantine on March 25th. Club Quarantine was started by four people in Toronto amid the need for social distancing due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
Charli XCX was scheduled to do a 30-minute set and the artist shared her "personal favorites and rarities from her own back catalog.”
Featuring a DJ every night at 9 PM, people can access Club Quarantine through the Zoom app and the link is available on the virtual dance party collective's Instagram account. Other notable creatives who also make appearances on this wonderful platform include Casey MQ, Andrés Sierra, as well as drag performances from Kasper and West Dakota.
