Lorde headlined the second night of All Points East 2026, after Zara Larsson, who brought out PinkPantheress for “Stateside”.
Lorde, the New Zealand singer whose debut single “Royals” won two Grammy Awards, headlined All Points East in Victoria Park, Tower Hamlets, on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was the festival’s second night.
Born Ella Yelich-O’Connor in Takapuna, a suburb of Auckland, she first drew notice as a teenager at a talent show. She signed with Universal Music Group and released The Love Club EP in 2012.
Pure Heroine followed in 2013. She made Melodrama with Jack Antonoff, and it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2017.
After Solar Power in 2021, her fourth album, Virgin, returned to an electronic sound in 2025. In the park she played a shortened “Royals”, then “Liability”, “Green Light” and “Man of the Year”.
Near the end came “girl, so confusing”, her song with Charli xcx. Earlier, Zara Larsson brought out PinkPantheress for “Stateside”, and Rose Gray opened the East Stage.
