Lorde made headlines two weeks ago when she made a surprise appearance at Washington Square Park to debut her newest single, "What Was That." Shortly after, the singer announced that her next album, Virgin, would be released on June 27, shocking fans who haven't heard much from the New Zealand-born superstar since 2021 (with the exception of her iconic collab with Charli XCX for Brat last year).
If you grew up in the 2010s, then this is some major news—Lorde's music was the soundtrack of an entire generation of young millennials and zillenials, starting with the massive success of "Royals" in 2013, followed by her debut album Pure Heroine and, later, 2017's Melodrama.
This week, Lorde announced that Virgin will come with an accompanying world tour. Here's everything we know about the tour so far, including when the performer is planning to return to NYC for concert dates.
