Lorde Surprises Fans, Announces World Tour

On May 25, Lorde made a surprise appearance at a Lorde-themed club night in Sydney’s Mary’s Underground, mingling with fans, joining the DJ booth, and singing along to her latest single 'What Was That.' Organizers stated the appearance was spontaneous and not coordinated by her label. The visit comes ahead of the release of her fourth album, 'Virgin,' scheduled for June 27 and marking her first new album since 2021’s 'Solar Power.' Lorde has also announced the Ultrasound world tour, beginning in September, which will feature special guests such as The Japanese House and Blood Orange. The singer has been living in London and recently discussed health challenges after discontinuing long-term medication. Her Sydney outing follows a similar surprise event in New York, increasing anticipation for her upcoming music and tour.
