\n\tDuring his introduction, which was captured in fan videos, Casablancas also jokingly referenced the fact that Charli\u2019s new LP, Music, Fashion, Film<\/em>, was released on the same day as The Strokes\u2019 seventh studio album, Reality Awaits<\/em>, on July 24. \u201cWe had a great battle,\u201d he congratulated her. \u201cYou defeated us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Music, Fashion, Film<\/em> landed at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, while Reality Awaits<\/em> arrived at No. 13. \u201cCharli Motherf\u2013king xcx,\u201d Casablancas continued as she left the stage. \u201cYup, she won. She won by a lot. She\u2019s a giant pop star, in our defense.\u201d\u2060<\/p>\n

\n\tCharli performed at the festival the previous night in her second festival headline performance since the release of the LP. She had debuted her new stage show at Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago on July 31.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Strokes performed a career-spanning show during its Outside Lands set, with a number of tracks from Is This It<\/em>, 2003\u2019s Room on Fire<\/em> and two new songs from Reality Awaits<\/em> (\u201cDine N\u2019Dash,\u201d \u201cGoing Shopping\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tCharli has spoken about her love of The Strokes in previous interviews, recently telling W Mag<\/em> that \u201cI\u2019ll Try Anything Once\u201d \u2014 a stripped-back alternative version of the band\u2019s 2006 song \u201cYou Only Live Once\u201d \u2013 was a song that makes her cry. \u201cIt\u2019s really a heartbreaking song,\u201d she told the publication.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt wasn\u2019t the only guest appearance Charli made at Outside Lands, however. She also made a cameo during Djo\u2019s performance of his song \u201cCharlie\u2019s Garden\u201d earlier on Saturday. In the original version of the track, Joe Keery\u2019s Stranger Things<\/em> costar Charlie Heaton leaves a voicemail apologizing for flaking out on a catch-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring Djo\u2019s set, he switched it up with Charli xcx instead leaving a message.\u201dHey, Djo, it\u2019s Charli. I had no idea that you\u2019d written a song about me,\u201d she said in the pre-recorded segment. \u201cThat is, like, so sweet of you. I\u2019m honored. Anyways, call me back after the show and we can talk about it. Bye!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
