It's shaping up to be a Lorde summer, with the alt-pop superstar dropping the tour announcement we've all been waiting for. Fresh off her incredible surprise set at Glastonbury, Lorde has confirmed the details for her Ultrasound World Tour, and you can bet it includes some shows in Melbourne.
Lorde’s 2026 homecoming visit will be her first time performing on New Zealand and Aussie soil since her 2023 Solar Power Tour. With a whole new album (the already-approaching-cult-status Virgin) now out in the open, we can't wait to hear 'What Was That', 'Favourite Daughter' and 'Clearblue' live for the first time. (Not to mention all her other hits.)
