Lorde Announces ‘Ultrasound’ World Tour: Dates, Tickets, and New Album ‘Virgin’ Details
Lorde is back and ready to captivate audiences worldwide! The pop sensation has officially announced her "Ultrasound World Tour", coinciding with the upcoming release of her highly anticipated fourth album, 'Virgin'. Fans can expect a fresh sound and a completely transparent experience, as Lorde invites everyone to "Come see what’s under the skin."
The tour, set to kick off on September 17 in Austin, TX, promises an unforgettable experience with a diverse lineup of supporting acts including The Japanese House, Nilüfer Yanya, Chanel Beads, Empress Of, Oklou, Blood Orange, and Jim E-Stack. This star-studded roster ensures that each show will be a unique and vibrant musical journey.
'Virgin', Lorde's new album dropping on June 27, delves into themes of transparency and personal experience. The album cover, an X-ray of Lorde’s pelvis revealing her IUD, perfectly encapsulates this theme. Lorde has also shared that the album was inspired by her experiences discontinuing birth control pills, adding a layer of depth and vulnerability to her new music. A snippet from the album, possibly the title track "Ultrasound," was teased on Lorde's TikTok, building even more anticipation.
In a message to her dedicated fanbase, Lorde emphasized the collaborative nature of her performances: "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... I think that Ultrasound could be our masterpiece." This sentiment highlights her commitment to creating unforgettable, communal experiences for her audience.
The tour announcement also follows the release of the lead single, "What Was That," which quickly climbed to the top of Spotify charts, marking her first No. 1 since her breakout hit "Royals" over a decade ago. The accompanying music video features Lorde exploring New York City, culminating in a dynamic gathering with fans in Washington Square Park, further showcasing her connection with her audience.
Contrasting with the indie folk-pop vibes of her previous album, "Solar Power," 'Virgin' is expected to embrace a bolder pop sound, promising a fresh and exciting direction for the artist.
