A few weeks after reemerging with the announcement of her first album in four years, Lorde will take her new music for a spin around the world.
The Ultrasound tour kicks off Sept. 17 in Austin and will visit Nashville, Toronto, St. Louis, Minneapolis and Las Vegas among the 21 cities on the itinerary before wrapping Oct. 22 in Seattle and heading to Europe.
Tickets to see the alt-pop singer-songwriter will be available through a presale starting at 10 a.m. local time May 14 and a general on sale at 10 a.m. local time May 16 via Lorde’s website. Joining Lorde for the North American shows on various dates are Blood Orange, Japanese House, Chanel Beads and Empress Of, while Jim-E Stack and Oklou will join some European shows.
Lorde, 28, recently unveiled details about “Virgin,” her new album due June 27. The first single, “What Was That,” paired her with producers Jim-E Stack and Dan Nigro and hit No. 1 on Spotify, her first time topping the platform’s chart since “Royals” more than 11 years ago.
The video for the synth-pulsing song finds Lorde walking and biking through New York before culminating with a frenzied gathering of fans in Washington Square Park.
Lorde’s last release, 2021’s “Solar Power,” cruised with an indie folk-pop vibe that suited her lyrics about her life in New Zealand, while “Virgin” is expected to carry a bolder pop sound. Her most recent tour was a worldwide jaunt in 2022-23 to support “Solar Power.”
