Lorde Expands 2026 Australasian Tour With Extra Arena Dates
New Zealand pop sensation Lorde has expanded her upcoming Australasian tour with additional arena dates. The singer-songwriter is set to perform in Sydney and Melbourne as part of the 2026 Australian tour.
According to sources, Lorde’s second and final shows have been added to the schedule, taking place on February 19 at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney and on February 22 at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. These new dates bring the Australasian leg of her Ultrasound world tour to a total of eight shows, marking her largest run across Australia and New Zealand.
The announcement comes as a relief for fans who have been eagerly anticipating her return to the region since the conclusion of her Solar Power tour in 2023. Lorde’s commitment to delivering an unforgettable live experience has earned widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike.
Lorde’s dedication to her craft shines through in her upcoming fourth studio album, Virgin, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, topping the ARIA Albums Chart, Aotearoa Music Charts, and the UK Official Albums Chart. Critics have praised Lorde for her raw intimacy and sonic reinvention, drawing parallels with her breakout album Pure Heroine.
The Australasian tour will kick off on February 11 in Auckland and conclude on February 25 in Perth. Tickets to all dates are set to go on sale to the general public on July 18 at 2 p.m. local time. Pre-sale access for Frontier Members begins on July 17, while American Express Card Members can secure exclusive tickets through Amex.com.au/Experiences.
