Lorde is set to return to London for two highly anticipated nights at The O2 Arena on 16 and 17 November 2025, as part of her worldwide Ultrasound Tour celebrating her fourth album, Virgin. The New Zealand singer, known offstage as Ella Yelich-O'Connor, will perform a mix of new tracks including "Man of the Year" and "What Was That" alongside many fan favourites, marking her biggest London shows since before the pandemic. The shows come amid a successful North American leg, with UK audiences eager to see her live.

Doors for both concerts will open at 6:00 PM, with Lorde expected to take the stage between 8:30 PM and 9:00 PM. Attendees can enjoy The O2's bars and restaurants before the performances, creating a vibrant pre-show atmosphere. Supporting Lorde will be a trio of artists: Jim-E Stack, a California-based musician famed for producing Virgin and collaborations with Bon Iver and Haim, will perform on both nights. London-based Nilüfer Yanya, known for her critically acclaimed debut album Miss Universe, will support on 16 November. On 17 November, The Japanese House, a singer-songwriter from Aylesbury noted for songs like "Saw You in a Dream," will join the lineup.

While the exact London setlist is yet to be confirmed, recent shows provide a glimpse of what fans might expect. In Paris, Lorde’s performance included tracks such as "Royals," "Buzzcut Season," and "Team," as well as newer songs like "Man of the Year" and "If She Could See Me Now." This blend promises a dynamic show mixing nostalgic hits with her latest creative output.

Tickets for the London dates are in high demand, with most sold out on primary platforms such as Ticketmaster and the official O2 website. Nevertheless, a limited number of seats remain, with prices starting at around £69.75. Fans looking for last-minute access can explore resale options on platforms like viagogo, StubHub, and Vivid Seats, although it is essential to verify ticket validity due to resale restrictions that might void admission. The O2 advises securing tickets through official channels or its approved resale partner, AXS Official Resale, to ensure authenticity and valid entry.

These London dates signify a major moment in Lorde’s ongoing resurgence as she bridges her introspective, poetic songwriting with grand-scale live performances. Fans and critics alike are eager to witness this phase of her career unfold at one of the city's premier venues.
