Background

New Zealand singer and songwriter Lorde embarked on her third concert tour, the Solar Power Tour, in April 2022. The tour spanned 79 shows across five legs, concluding at the Praia Fluvial do Taboão in Portugal in August 2023. [1] In April 2025, Lorde announced her comeback with the release of "What Was That", the lead single from her fourth studio album, Virgin , which was released on 27 June 2025. [2] On 8 May 2025, Lorde announced the Ultrasound World Tour, featuring arena concerts across North America and Europe from September to December 2025. [3] The opening acts are the Japanese House, Chanel Beads, Empress Of, Oklou, and Nilüfer Yanya, as well as Virgin's co-producers Blood Orange and Jim-E Stack. [4] On May 14, extra dates for Amsterdam, London, Washington, D.C., Nashville, and Minneapolis were added due to demand. [5] [6] [7] On June 13, two shows in Brooklyn were announced. [8]

Discussing the tour in a newsletter message sent to fans, Lorde wrote, "Every show I play is a collaboration between you and me. We meet in a room and we make music together, our bodies and the machines in search of something bigger together. 12 years of meeting up and making sound that's just for us. Since last time I've been stripping away unnecessary layers, finding us more room to move. I think that Ultrasound could be our masterpiece. Very proud and excited to be bringing my most talented friends in support. Come see what's under the skin." [9] Following the announcement, some media publications [10] [11] noted the absence of New Zealand in the itinerary. In response to an Instagram post highlighting this omission, Lorde commented, "Cam awwwwwwn now lol", and added, "Just the beginning." [12] Australian and New Zealand shows were later announced on 11 July. [13]
