Lorde announced world tour dates for February-June 2022 across New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the US, the UK and Europe. She’ll be touring in support of her upcoming album Solar Power, which she revealed is set to be released on August 20, 2021 via Universal Music New Zealand. Along with revealing the release date, she shared the tracklist and album artwork, in which Lorde is seen on the beach wearing a similarly-colored yellow dress to the one she wore in the music video for the title track, “Solar Power.”
The tour will begin at the Electric Avenue Festival in Christchurch, NZ on February 26, 2022. She’s set to spend a little less than a month touring New Zealand and Australia before flying out to the US for her North American concerts, starting with the historic Opry House in Nashville, TN on April 3. Other notable North American venues include Meridian Hall in Toronto, ON, Radio City Music Hall in New York, NY, The Met in Philadelphia, PA, The Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IL, WaMu Theatre in Seattle, WA, Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA and a final US date at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, CA.
Her European leg of the tour will launch off at the O2 Academy in Leeds, UK on May 25, with stops at O2 venues in Manchester and Birmingham, UK as well, plus two nights at the Roundhouse in London, UK. The other European cities she’ll stop at will include Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Zurich, Munich, Rome and Berlin. The full tour schedule can be found below.
Lorde previously released a statement on Solar Power, in which she explained, “The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love, or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learned to breathe out and tune in. This is what came through.”
