Lorde

Lorde is a New Zealand alternative pop singer and performing artist recognized for her headlining music festival appearances and studio recordings. The Kiwi pop star has achieved international prominence within alt-pop music, commanding major festival main stages across her career.

In August 2026, Lorde delivered a major headlining concert on the main stage at London's Victoria Park during the 2026 edition of the All Points East festival. Her Friday night headlining performance featured tracks from her album Virgin. The event marked an emotional return for the artist to the London venue where she had earlier performed during the festival's inaugural run back in 2018.

During the London show, Lorde paused mid-set to praise her fellow musicians performing across the day's multi-stage schedule. She candidly shared with the crowd that she had spent her afternoon exploring the festival grounds prior to her show, enthusiastically declaring that the curated bill was the single best lineup she had ever been a part of in her entire musical career.
