We get all the biggest music acts here in Manchester, and the announcements keep on coming. New Zealand alt-pop icon Lorde has announced ‘Ultrasound‘, a global headline tour heading to the OVO Hydro Arena in Glasgow on November 19, 2025, as part of her massive world tour.
Lorde is a Grammy-winning artist and cultural force, known for her genre-defying sound, introspective lyricism, and striking creative vision. Since her breakthrough with ‘Pure Heroine’ in 2013, she has redefined the contours of modern pop—merging poetic story telling with minimalist, emotionally reasonant production.
Some of her biggest hits come in the form of Royals, Green Light, Ribs and so many more, plus her recent collaboration with our very own Charli XCX on her track Girl, So Confusing has maximised her fame even further. Lorde will be touring her soon-to-be-released album ‘Ultrasound‘, featuring recently premiered What Was That – of Washington Square Park fame – and plenty of other huge tunes still to come.
Lorde follows the similar tour announcement from fellow 2010s female rockers HAIM, who will be visiting Manchester just two weeks before, making autumn 2025 a sort of renaissance for gig-goers of that era – and who, hand on heart, can say that wasn’t a great time in music?
Support in Manchester comes from Blood Orange and Jim-E Stack, so the Lorde show is set to be huge for fans and converts alike.

- November 15 – AO Arena, Manchester
- November 16 – O2 Arena, London
- November 19 – OVO Hydro, Glasgow
- November 20 – Utilita Arena Birmingham
