The New Zealand–born singer-songwriter Lorde is hitting the stage at Barclays Center on December 16th and 17th  at 7:00 p.m. Her blend of electro-pop with deeply personal, poetic prose made her an icon from the very beginning. Lorde’s 2013 debut album Pure Heroine produced the hit “Royals,” which reached critical acclaim at the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks. She has consistently delivered songs that resonate with critics and Gen Z alike. With a sound made up of clean beats and expressive lyrics, her work has found a way to make her own personal struggles relatable to the masses.

Most recently, songs like “Many of the Year” and “What Was That?” both from the 2025 album Virgin, have been embraced by TikTok. Virgin explores themes of identity and speaks to the artist’s own personal development. The Barclays performance is just one of the stops on Lorde’s Ultrasound World Tour to support her album Virgin. The tour will span across North America and Europe and start in September in Austin, Texas. Her tour will be supported by artists like The Japanese House, Chanel Bead, and Express Of.
