Pop heavy-hitters Charli XCX and Troye Sivan are set to spark a fever with their upcoming "Sweat" tour, slated to light up the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Sept. 14. According to CBS News Detroit, the tour promises 21 electrifying shows across North America, with enigmatic Shygirl as the opening act.

The dynamic pairing isn't new to fans; Charli and Sivan previously joined forces with their well-received singles "1999" and "2099." Fans eager to snag tickets before the masses can hit up the pre-sale on April 25 at 10 a.m., or battle the public sale on April 26, at the same time, The Detroit News reports. Live music veterans looking to secure their spots can do so via the official tour website, 313Presents.com, LiveNation.com, or Ticketmaster.

This tour marks a milestone for both artists, with neither Charli XCX nor Sivan having previously headlined an arena tour in Detroit. "Did Pride Month come a little early this year?" teased ClickOnDetroit, as the tour announcement arrives on the heels of Charli’s upcoming album "BRAT," expected to drop later this summer, and Sivan’s album riding high on recent Grammy nods.

Charli, the Brit behind earworm anthems like "I Love It," is revving up for her sixth studio album "Brat," following a record-breaking Boiler Room set for the ages—and Sivan, the Aussie gem, is still buzzing from his European tour triumphs. His recent accomplishment "Something to Give Each Other," catapulted him into Grammy nomination territory thanks to "Rush," the album's stand-out single. For those who’ve been following their rising crescendo of teasing collaborations, including a billboard surprise en route to Coachella, the "Sweat" tour is shaping up to be the culmination of their joint pop powers.

No doubt, Sept. 14 at Detroit's Little Caesars Arena is just the first stop on what promises to be a chart-topping jaunt across North America. If anticipation is a currency, then Charli XCX and Troye Sivan might as well be minting their pop gold. Tom, Dick, or Harry looking to partake in this surefire spectacle better brace themselves for when ticket lines open, because if their combined fan bases are any indication, these tickets are going to sell like the proverbial hotcakes.
