News of Lorde’s performance comes amid rumours that she may be a yet-to-be-announced act at 2026’s Primavera Festival. It comes after she praised the line-up when it was announced back in September.

In other news, earlier this month, Lorde performed ‘No Better’ for the first time in 11 years at her ‘Ultrasound’ world tour opener. She’s set to continue her trek through North America until late October.

Her dates in the UK include shows at Manchester’s AO Arena, London’s O2 Arena, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro and Birmingham’s Utilitia Arena. Visit here for any remaining North American tickets and here for any remaining tickets for the UK and European tour dates.

‘Virgin’ scored a four-star review from NME, which read: “Ultimately, ‘Virgin’ is a vibrant combination of Lorde’s best qualities, and then some. 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, Pixies recently announced a 40th anniversary UK and European tour for next year – including a show at the historic Royal Albert Hall in London, and will be headlining Bearded Theory for its 2026 edition.
