Adelaide Festival announces Lorde in concert at Adelaide Oval
Making her first visit to Adelaide since 2014, New Zealand superstar Lorde, supported by American indie pop darlings MUNA and local singer-songwriter Stellie, will perform at Adelaide Oval Village Green in one incredible concert as part of Adelaide Festival in 2023.
Tickets go on sale to Festival Friends on Tuesday 18 October from 10am (ACDT), and to the General Public at 10am (ACDT) on Wednesday 19 October. Lorde will appear in Adelaide as part of her Solar Power tour, celebrating the 2021 release of her long-anticipated third studio album of the same name and her first new music in four years.
Kicking off in her native New Zealand in February 2023, the tour will head to Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and then Perth over whirlwind three weeks.
First appearing on the scene in 2013 at 16 years of age, Lorde released a collection of minimalist, moody and elegantly melodic songs that changed the landscape for young female pop artists forever. Pure Heroine, with its breakout single Royals, presented a vulnerable but assured exploration of Lorde’s adolescent experience and thrust her immediately into the international sphere.
Two Grammy Awards, charting at #1 in over 20 countries and widespread airplay saw Lorde quickly draw in fans across genre and age divides. With 2017’s follow up, Melodrama, Lorde achieved bona fide superstar status, having exceeded 12 million album sales worldwide and over 10 billion streams.
Solar Power was released in August 2021 and is a light, summery album inspired by the storied folk song writers of the 60s and 70s and early 2000s pop.
Of the album, Lorde:
Solar Power is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalising the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors. In times of heartache, grief, deep love or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learnt to breathe out, and tune in. This is what came through.
Renowned for her enthralling vocals and commanding stage presence, Lorde, supported by MUNA and Stellie, will perform at Adelaide Oval Village Green on Thursday 16 March. The full Adelaide Festival program will be announced on Wednesday 9 November. The 2023 Adelaide Festival will run from 3 – 19 March.
