Lorde has officially ushered in her Virgin era, which can only mean one thing: she’s also hitting the stage on tour this fall. It’s been two years since she wrapped her tour and festival circuit in support of her album Solar Power in August 2023, and fans are ready for her return. The “What Was That” artist is traveling across the U.S. with Blood Orange, The Japanese House, Nilüfer Yanya, Chanel Beads, Empress Of, Jim-E Stack, and Oklou to bring her highly anticipated fourth album to life.
Her slew of U.S. shows kicks off at Austin, Texas’s Moody Center in September and ends at Seattle, Washington’s Climate Pledge Arena the following month.
Because this is the first time Lorde’s hitting the road in two years, demand for tickets is higher than the feeling you and all your best friends get listening to “Ribs.” Tickets are on sale right now, so let’s get into how you can successfully score these seats.

How to buy Lorde tickets
Let’s be real… “What Was That” only kick-started our insatiable hunger for more Lorde. Here are my personal best practices on how you can successfully score tickets for the Ultrasound World Tour.
Mark your calendar for any sales
The pre-sales for Lorde’s tour are happening right now, and general sale starts on Friday, May 16 at 10 a.m. local time.
Keep your account info updated
There’s nothing worse than going to check out... and missing out on tickets because you took too long to put your info in. Make sure your payment and contact info are up to date so this doesn’t happen to you, and check out your venue’s seating chart so you know which seats you want to aim for.
Buy 3 tickets max
While everyone deserves to experience the pure euphoria of listening to tracks like “Green Light” and “Ribs” live, some retailers only allow customers to buy three tickets at a time. Hoping to go in a bigger group? Divide and conquer—you might have a better chance at getting in.
Check other ticket retailers
Didn’t snag tickets during the pre-sales? No problem. Other sites have tons of tix for sale, and other people might have to resell their seats at the last minute.
