Pop Icon Lorde to Perform in Pula Arena, Setlist Revealed

New Zealand pop sensation Lorde is set to grace the stage of the Pula Arena in Croatia on August 18, promising a highlight of the international music calendar for the year. This performance is a significant stop on her extensive Ultrasound tour, offering fans a rare opportunity to experience one of her standalone shows amidst a summer largely dedicated to festival appearances.

Attendees can anticipate a setlist packed with Lorde's most significant hits, carefully curated to showcase her evolution as an artist, with particular emphasis on her current album, "Virgin." Typically, her concerts feature over 20 songs, often opening with her breakthrough hit "Royals" and closing with the fan-favorite "Ribs." The setlist will prominently feature tracks from "Virgin," alongside beloved classics from her debut album "Pure Heroine," including "Team" and "Buzzcut Season," and fan-favorites from "Melodrama" like "Green Light" and "Supercut."

Born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor, Lorde, who holds dual citizenship and has maternal roots in Dalmatia, emerged as a global force in 2013 at just 16 with the chart-topping single "Royals." She has since redefined the boundaries of alternative pop, consistently charting her own course. Her debut album "Pure Heroine" established her as the voice of a generation, making her the youngest artist from New Zealand to top the Billboard charts. Subsequent albums, including "Melodrama," recognized by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest of all time, and "Solar Power," have further solidified her critical acclaim, with "Virgin" exploring themes of maturity and identity through synth-pop.

The evening will also feature a performance by the Norwegian alt-pop duo Smerz, acclaimed by critics as a leading act in the Scandinavian experimental music scene. Tickets for this highly anticipated event are available through Core Event and Eventim.
