ABOUT LORDE
In 2013, a 16-year-old LORDE quietly, yet confidently asserted herself as the voice of a generation with her full-length debut, Pure Heroine. The album would go triple-platinum, win two GRAMMY® Awards, and spawn the 7x platinum record-breaking international juggernaut single, “Royals,” and quadruple-platinum follow up “Team.” The former cemented LORDE as “the youngest solo artist and the only New Zealander to achieve #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since 1987.” Time exalted her amongst the “Most Influential Teenagers in the World,” she landed on Forbes’s “30 Under 30” List, graced the cover of Rolling Stone and performed alongside the surviving members of Nirvana during the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. She also curated the official soundtrack for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 and recorded “Yellow Flicker Beat” as the lead single. This year LORDE made her anxiously awaited return with her critically acclaimed second full-length album, Melodrama, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The album co-produced by Lorde and Jack Antonoff, has been called the “2017’s best pop album” (USA Today) by numerous publications. With Rolling Stone labeling her current single, “Perfect Places,” an “existential party anthem.”
Lorde is currently on the festival circuit with heralded performances at Governors Ball, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, and upcoming shows at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Life Is Beautiful and more. Her Melodrama World Tour kicks off this fall in the UK, reaching the US in March 2018.
