Just over two weeks ago, Tove Lo sustained a broken ankle during her headlining show in Brooklyn. So when she arrived at the Hollywood Palladium on Friday night for the finale of a 17-date North American tour in support of her new album “Sunshine Kitty,” the Swedish singer-songwriter was still wearing a walking boot.

Perhaps the 32-year-old had to dial back her dance moves, but not much. Certainly, there was no governor on her energy as she gave a ravenous crowd a 22-song set that included guest appearances from Alma (the opener on the tour) and Charli XCX, who joined the headliner for “Bitches” and “Out of My Head.” The former is a single on which Charli XCX and Alma featured; the latter is a Charli XCX single on which Lo and Alma are featured.

After Broods finished their main support set, Lo took the stage to “Gritty Pretty,” also the intro to her new album. In all, she ended up performing eight tracks from the new album, her fourth full-length, and finished the encore with the new, Finneas-produced single, “Bikini Porn.”  

Setlist: Glad He’s Gone, Bad as the Boys (with Alma), Cool Girl, Shifted, Influence, Are U Gonna Tell Her?, Jacques, Talking Body, Really Don’t Like U, Disco Tits, Moments, Hey You Got Drugs?, Bitches (with Charli XCX), Out Of My Head (Charli XCX cover, with Charli XCX), True Disaster, Mateo, Come Undone, Anywhere U Go, Out of Mind. Encore: Sweettalk My Heart, Habits (Stay High), Bikini Porn.
