Lorde Adds Final Sydney, Melbourne Dates to 2026 Australasian Tour

Lorde has expanded the Australian leg of her Ultrasound World Tour in 2026 by adding second and final shows in Sydney and Melbourne due to overwhelming pre-sale demand, bringing the Australasian run to eight shows. These additional concerts will take place on February 19 at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and February 22 at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena, following her previously scheduled dates. The tour supports her fourth studio album, Virgin, which debuted at No. 1 in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, and No. 2 on the US Billboard 200, featuring singles like "What Was That," "Man of the Year," and "Hammer." Lorde’s Ultrasound World Tour, her largest to date, has already sold out major venues globally, including Madison Square Garden and London’s O2 Arena, and follows her 2023 Solar Power Tour, marking her return to Australia and New Zealand. Tickets for the new shows go on general sale on July 18, 2025, with presales nearly sold out for the initial Sydney and Melbourne dates. Critics have praised the tour for its raw intimacy and sonic reinvention, highlighting Lorde’s continued evolution as a pop artist.
