On March 11, 2025, Tecate Pa’l Norte hinted at an exciting potential collaboration involving Seventeen’s Vernon and British pop sensation Charli XCX. The festival’s official Instagram account shared a captivating set of images that suggested possible artistic collaborations, including the much-discussed performance by Vernon and Charli XCX.
Among the images, a striking black-and-white poster featured the likenesses of several artists, including A. G. Cook and Rina Sawayama. Notably, the title of the song appeared modestly in fine print at the lower right corner of the poster. This tantalizing post ignited a flurry of discussions on social media, where fans expressed their anticipation and eagerness for these collaborations to materialize during the festival.
Fan Reactions to the Tease
The response from the fans was one of surprise and enthusiasm as many took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts:
“I think they’re just manifesting it yet but also I hope we’ll get the stage.”
“OMG????? WHAT!!? WHAT THE ACTUAL FCK OMG YES PLEASE,”a user exclaimed.
“Life is good, everything is okay, the world is peaceful, nature is healing, love is blooming,”a fan added.
“I am lightheaded because I literally love this song so much. WE’RE GETTING IT LIVE F*CK,”another fan wrote.
This collaboration is especially anticipated as the remix of Charli XCX’s original track “Beg For You”featuring Rina Sawayama was first launched in 2022 as part of the ‘Pocket Remixes’. Since its debut, fans have eagerly awaited a live rendition, making their hopes for a performance at Tecate Pa’l Norte palpable.
