Welcome to The Encore Club - Where your dream concert becomes a reality!
In Episode 29 of The Encore Club Podcast, Will and Josh sit down with the unstoppable Charlotte Sands, an artist whose rise from homemade demos to festival stages has captured the hearts of fans all over the world. Known for her bold blue hair, infectious energy, and the huge success of songs like Dress, Hush, and her collaboration with The Maine and Taking Back Sunday on Love You A Little, Charlotte brings her trademark honesty and humour to a conversation that feels both intimate and electric.
Throughout the episode, Charlotte opens up about her musical beginnings, recording in her childhood closet, and the surreal shift to performing on massive stages like Milton Keynes with My Chemical Romance. She reflects on the emotional impact of seeing her music explode online, the unexpected pressures of going viral, and the deep connection she feels with fans who find pieces of themselves in her lyrics. Will and Josh dive into her experiences touring the world, the chaos of the Summer School Tour, and why UK audiences hold such a special place in her heart.
There are moments of laughter, vulnerability, and pure storytelling joy as Charlotte shares memories about Harry Styles inspiring Dress, her early stage fright, and the wild reality of balancing creativity with constant momentum. The conversation explores confidence, burnout, authenticity, and the strange beauty of growing up online while learning to trust her voice more than ever.
The episode closes with a cinematic dream concert segment where Charlotte builds her perfect Glastonbury night, complete with a glowing summer sky, her closest friends in the crowd, and a once in a lifetime moment singing alongside Fleetwood Mac. It is vivid, heartfelt, and full of the wonder that defines why live music means so much.
This episode is warm, inspiring, chaotic in all the best ways, and a perfect reflection of the spirit Charlotte brings to her music and her fans. It is another standout chapter in The Encore Club.
