Lorde adds more ‘Solar Power’ tour dates, talks “playful” album cover

Lorde recently announced a 2022 world tour supporting her new album, Solar Power, which is due out on August 20. Tickets went on pre-sale today, and if you missed out (we hear they went fast) she’s added additional dates, including a new NYC show at the same venue as the first, Radio City Music Hall on April 19. Tickets to the new date go on presale today (6/25) at 2 PM ET (use the code SOCIAL), and both dates go on general sale Friday, 6/25 at 10 AM ET.

Also added are additional dates in Toronto, Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles. See Lorde’s updated dates below.

Meanwhile, appearing on Smallzy’s Surgery show on Australia’s Nova FM, Lorde spoke more about her new album, and its very striking cover image. “I had been told that, you know, it was my butt and people might feel a way about that,” she said. “But the photo felt so like joyful and playful and kind of free to me, I feel like the kind of sexiness almost didn’t kind of compute for me. I just thought I looked so happy jumping over the camera like that.”

Speaking about the album, she said, “I really think it’s such a good record. I feel so proud of it so I’m keen to get out there. The sound is sort of ’60s/’70s folk with early 2000s bubblegum pop. It’s a little bit S Club, a little bit TLC, mixed with like, your classics – Fleetwood Mac. It’s quite a buzzy mix.”
