New Zealand’s alt-pop queen Lorde is back in London – properly back.
Her Ultrasound World Tour, supporting new album Virgin, is rolling into The O2 for two arena nights this November, her biggest London shows since before the pandemic. The tour has already picked up glowing reviews for its x-ray-themed visuals, emotional staging and a set list that sweeps right across her catalogue.
Even better news for late planners: there are still tickets available for both nights.
When is Lorde at London’s O2 Arena?
As part of the Ultrasound World Tour, Lorde at London’s O2 Arena is locked in for two shows:
Sunday 16 November 2025 – The O2, London
Monday 17 November 2025 – The O2, London
These sit in the middle of her UK run, between Manchester and Glasgow, before she heads on to Birmingham and Dublin.
Lorde at London’s O2 Arena: timings & schedule
Doors:
Both nights, doors are scheduled to open at 6:00pm.
Stage time:
There’s no official published on-stage time, but with two support acts in the mix, you can realistically expect Lorde to appear around 8:30–9:00pm.
If you’re travelling across London, aim to be inside the arena by 7:00pm – you’ll avoid the worst of the queues and catch both openers.
Who is supporting Lorde at The O2?
You’re not just getting Lorde for your ticket price.
Nilüfer Yanya
Opening the night is Nilüfer Yanya, the London-based indie songwriter known for smoky, elastic vocals and songs that slip between rock, soul and art-pop. Her debut album Miss Universe was a critics’ favourite, and she’s previously toured with The xx and Mitski.
Jim-E Stack
Main support comes from Jim-E Stack, the American musician and producer who co-produced Lorde’s new album Virgin and her single What Was That. Expect moody electronics, layered percussion and a set that connects directly to the sound of the new record.
Together, they set up the emotional arc of the show long before Lorde steps into the spotlight.
Likely Ultrasound Tour set list at The O2
Lorde’s exact London set list can always shift, but recent Ultrasound shows in Europe have followed a pretty consistent run of songs, blending Virgin with fan favourites from Pure Heroine and Melodrama. Based on her Paris and early tour dates, you can expect something like this:
Hammer
Royals
Broken Glass
Buzzcut Season
Favourite Daughter
Perfect Places
Shapeshifter
Clearblue
Current Affairs
Supercut
No Better (or 400 Lux at some dates)
GRWM
The Louvre
Oceanic Feeling
Big Star
Liability
Man of the Year
If She Could See Me Now
Team
What Was That
Green Light
David
Ribs
Take it as a guide, not a promise – but if you’re hoping for “Royals”, “Green Light”, “Ribs” and a heavy dose of Virgin, you’re almost certainly in luck.
Last-minute tickets: where to get them and how much they cost
The good news: both London dates still have availability.
Primary tickets
The O2 / venue page – limited seats and standing, depending on the night
Ticketmaster – from around £60 plus fees
AXS – similar pricing and availability
Time Out and UK listings sites are all reporting entry-level prices from around £60 at the time of writing.
Resale options
If primary tickets dry up in your preferred block, there are official resale listings:
StubHub and Viagogo currently show tickets starting from roughly £75 for both nights, with prices climbing quickly closer to the date and for better spots on the floor or lower bowl.
As always, stick to trusted platforms, watch out for added fees at checkout and avoid any social-media “resales” that aren’t using official ticket transfer.
