Lorde will begin the tour on Sept. 17 at Austin’s Moody Center. She’ll make stops at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena before wrapping up the North American leg at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena on Oct. 22. From there, she heads overseas for shows in France, Germany and Denmark, with the full tour coming to a close at Stockholm’s Annexet on Dec. 9.
The tour announcement comes shortly after Lorde announced her upcoming album “Virgin,” releasing on June 27. She described the record as “100% written in blood,” and features contributions from Dan Nigro, Blood Orange, Fabiana Palladino, Jim-E Stack, Andrew Aged and Buddy Ross.
She promoted the record’s first single “What Was That” with a fan event in New York’s Washington Square Park on April 23, where she premiered the song and shot part of its music video.
Speaking to BBC Radio 1, Lorde explained how Charli XCX’s “Brat” and her collaboration on the remix for “Girl, So Confusing” inspired her creative process for “Virgin.” “I’d been kind of cooking this album up. We were like quite a way into it at that point,” she said. “But ‘Brat’ coming out really gave me a kick in a lot of ways. It forced me to further define what I was doing because Charli had so masterfully defined everything about ‘Brat.’ And I knew that what I was doing was very distinct to that. And also just, like, it’s just this amazing thing when a peer, like, throws the gauntlet down like that. You’re like, ‘OK, yeah. I’ll…’”
