Lorde Reschedules New Zealand and Australia Tour Dates for 2023
Lorde was originally meant to kick off her Solar Power tour early next year in her native New Zealand. Now, she’s pushed back dates in her home country and Australia to 2023, as Billboard notes. A new announcement from promoter Frontier Touring revealed the new schedule, citing “the continuing uncertainty around the current NZ outbreak,” as the reason for postponement. Find the post below.
“I am beyond devastated to be postponing these shows,” Lorde wrote in a statement viewed by Billboard. “Starting the tour in New Zealand was always really important to me, and would have been a huge high. I fought this decision for a long time, but the truth is that touring internationally through a COVID outbreak has a ton of unforeseen moving parts, and I’d much rather play for you when we’re all confident it will go smoothly.” Lorde’s first New Zealand date will now be on February 21, 2023.
