Kiwi singer Lorde has announced an upcoming tour with dates in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe.
The international tour, titled Ultrasound, will follow the release of her new album Virgin on June 27.
The tour is scheduled to begin in Austin, Texas on September 17 and wrap up in Stockholm, Sweden on December 9.
New Zealand does not feature.
Support acts include Blood Orange, the Japanese House, Nilüfer Yana, Chanel Beads, Empress Of, Jim-E Stack and Oklou.
The singer described the tour as a collaboration between herself and her fanbase in an email this morning.
“Every show I play is a collaboration between you and me. We meet in a room and we make music together, our bodies and the machines in search of something bigger together. 12 years of meeting up and making sound that’s just for us.
“Since last time I’ve been stripping away unnecessary layers, finding us more room to move. I think that Ultrasound could be our masterpiece. Very proud and excited to be bringing my most talented friends in support.”
Lorde released the album’s lead single What Was That on April 24.
She debuted the single at a pop-up event in the Big Apple which was initially shut down by police due to the influx of fans.
However, the pop-up event ended up going ahead after all, with fans who stayed getting their first full airing of Lorde’s new single.
Earlier this week she attended the Met Gala in New York.
Tickets go on pre-sale on May 14 and general sale on May 16.
