CaledonianGonzo Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Anything that does get included will likely be rearranged to be a bit more gospelly and organic. Hopefully Bez is in the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't quite remember who it was, but I remember seeing a band who just released a new record that was a major departure from their previous, and their setlist was entirely the new album, and a one song encore of just one of the previous hits.

Although I can see Lorde going new album heavy, you have to be pretty confident that your new album is insanely good (especially coming after an album like Melodrama) to pull something like this off or it’s a sure fire way to piss off the people coming to see you, even if you are saying the tour is more ‘intimate’ which is often used as an excuse to showcase new stuff. I still think there’ll be a smattering of old stuff, but like said above, perhaps rearranged to fit the new sound (although hopefully not ‘cause Green Light needs to go off).

Headlining PS does suggest there will be plenty of hits and bangers in there. If the tour was just these smaller shows then it's one thing, but if you're playing bit slots at festivals as well you're almost obliged to round out your setlist more. Unless you're The National.

Matt42 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Kinda here for Royals being her creep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jannybruck Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 She'll be obliged to do The Hits at the festivals she's doing because it sounds like the album is going to be much more chill but yeah, for the headline dates I'm not expecting much more than Green Light and a couple of others.

cdm22 Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 (edited) Worst presale ever for me (got a ticket then got thrown into a waiting area after ticking the not a bot box which then meant the ticket was gone once I got out of it) but managed to get a Thursday Roundhouse ticket after refreshing for 8 minutes! Looks like a Friday date has been added too. https://www.gigsandtours.com/event/lorde-the-solar-power-tour/roundhouse/1975467 Edited June 24, 2021 by cdm22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
