Lorde, known for her introspective lyricism and genre-defying sound, recently returned with new music, including the single “What Was That” and her fourth studio album, Virgin, which debuted at No. 1 in the UK. Having amassed over 18 billion global streams, her headline set is highly anticipated.
Joining Lorde is British singer-songwriter and producer PinkPantheress. Rising to fame through TikTok and recently shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, PinkPantheress is celebrated for her emotional dance-pop, which features on her debut album Heaven Knows. Her talent was further recognised last week with her first-ever GRAMMY nomination for “Illegal.”
The stellar supporting cast also includes Swedish singer-songwriter Zara Larsson, fresh off her Midnight Sun Tour. Larsson is known for her blend of R&B and club-influenced pop, built on a string of multi-platinum hits like “Lush Life.”
Also confirmed for the Saturday bill are the enigmatic hyperpop artist 2hollis, French composer Oklou, singer-songwriter Audrey Hobert, and East London’s own innovative electropop artist Rose Gray. Further additions include Esha Tewari, ML Buch, and Fabiana Palladino, who notably co-wrote tracks on Lorde’s latest album, Virgin.
The announcement follows the confirmation of Deftones and Tyler, The Creator as other headliners for the 2026 festival. Tickets for Lorde’s Saturday, August 22 date go on general sale this Thursday, November 20, at 9am.
