LORDE LINES UP SOLAR POWER

Lorde has announced details of her third studio album, Solar Power, and a 2022 world tour. The Crush-repped star's album will drop 8/20 via Republic; tickets for her 40-plus-date road show go on sale Friday, 6/25.

The world tour, promoted by AEG Presents in the U.S. and Canada, is Lorde's first in North America since 2018. It kicks off in Nashville on 4/3/22 at the Opry House and concludes at the Santa Barbara Bowl 5/7/22. Tickets go on sale to the general public starting Friday at 10am local time.

Lorde has also shared the tracklist for Solar Power (see below). All 12 songs were produced by Jack Antonoff.

“The album is a celebration of the natural world, an attempt at immortalizing the deep, transcendent feelings I have when I’m outdoors," she said. "In times of heartache, grief, deep love or confusion, I look to the natural world for answers. I’ve learned to breathe out and tune in. This is what came through.”

The Grammy-winning songwriter also said she will be offering the album in a first-of-its-kind discless format; an eco-conscious "music box" will be available for purchase as a CD alternative. It will contain visual content, handwritten notes, exclusive photos and a download card. The card will provide buyers with a high-quality download of the music, two exclusive bonus tracks and access to some surprises.
