Dressed in a rustic ensemble, Role Model began his set with the chart-topping single “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out,” setting a vibrant tone against a creatively designed barnyard stage. The performance was enlivened by an unexpected appearance from pop sensation Charli XCX, who joined him on stage.
Charli XCX, donning a black skirt and dark sunglasses complemented by a “Max’s Kansas City” T-shirt, stepped onto the stage during Role Model’s invitation for “Sally” to appear.
