Having recently wrapped up the North American leg of her 2025 ‘Ultrasound’ world tour in support of her latest album, ‘Virgin’, the Kiwi pop singer is now set to top the bill at London’s Victoria Park next year on Saturday, August 22.

She will be joined on the line-up by PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, 2hollis, Oklou, Audrey Hobert, Rose Gray, Esha Tewari, ML Buch and Fabiana Palladino, with many more names yet to be announced.

Tickets go on general sale at 9am GMT this Thursday (November 20) – you’ll be able to buy yours here. Alternatively, an All Points East pre-sale will go live at the same time on Wednesday (19).

“All Points East is honoured to welcome global superstar Lorde as a headliner for next summer,” organisers said in a statement. “A Grammy-winning artist and cultural force, Lorde is known for her genre-defying sound, introspective lyricism and striking creative vision.

“Since her breakthrough with ‘Pure Heroine’ in 2013, she has redefined the contours of modern pop-merging poetic storytelling with minimalist, emotionally resonant production.”

News of Lorde’s headline slot comes after Deftones were announced to be playing at Outbreak Fest on Sunday 23 August, and that Tyler, The Creator will be headlining All Points East 2026 with a huge two-day takeover.

For its 2025 edition, All Points East was headlined by the likes of The Maccabees, Raye, Cleo Sol, SAULT, Chronixx, Chase & Status and Barry Can’t Swim.

The UK and European leg of Lorde’s ‘Ultrasound’ tour has just kicked off, and features two concerts at The O2 in London – which last night saw the singer joined by Stranger Things actor Sadie Sink – as well as stops in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and Dublin. You can find any remaining tickets here.

In a four-star review, NME described ‘Virgin’ as “a vibrant combination of Lorde’s best qualities, and then some”. It added: “With her newfound candour, the record combines the emotional whirlwind of ‘Melodrama’, the chilling minimalism of ‘Pure Heroine’ and the breezy freedom of ‘Solar Power’. This might be called ‘Virgin’, but Lorde proves she’s not afraid to strip herself bare.”

Meanwhile, Lorde brought out Charli XCX for a joint rendition of ‘Girl, So Confusing’ during her show in Los Angeles late last month.

In other news, Lorde has been announced for NOS Alive 2026, and recently sparked rumours over a potential surprise slot at next year’s Primavera Sound.
