Lorde 'Ultrasound' 2026 New Zealand and Australia tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

Lorde is officially coming home. The New Zealand-born singer-songwriter has announced the Australasian leg of her Ultrasound World Tour. She will return to local stages for the first time since 2023.

The newly announced trek has been slated for February 2026. The six-date arena run will bring Lorde to multiple cities across New Zealand and Australia, including Auckland, Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth.

The Ultrasound tour has been designed to support her fourth studio album, Virgin, which was released in June 2025. The record debuted at No. 1 in New Zealand, Australia, and the UK and peaked at No. 2 in the US.

Lorde's 2026 Australasian run is part of a global tour that is set to kick off in September 2025 in North America. She has already sold out multiple venues, including Madison Square Garden in New York, London's O2 Arena, and Amsterdam's AFAS Live. This is going to be her biggest world tour to date.
