Lorde announces ‘Virgin’ world tour — including her first Milwaukee concert in seven years
Here are some of the top concerts in Milwaukee this spring
Here are some of the top concerts to check out around Milwaukee this spring at venues ranging from Fiserv Forum to Shank Hall.
Buzz is building around Lorde’s forthcoming album “Virgin” out June 27 — co-produced by recent Bon Iver collaborator Jim-E Stack and Dan Nigro, the producer behind Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan’s blockbuster albums.
And on May 8, the seminal pop star from New Zealand announced she’ll be touring behind the new music, revealing dates this September through December in Europe and North America — including Milwaukee.
Lorde will perform at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena Oct. 10, with The Japanese House and Empress Of opening. It will be her first Milwaukee concert since kicking off her “Melodrama” North American tour at the Bradley Center in 2018. Featuring choreography from Milwaukee native Andrew Winghart, that show ended up on the Journal Sentinel’s list of best concerts of the year.
Tickets for Lorde’s Milwaukee concert go on sale at 10 a.m. May 16 at the box office (400 W. Wisconsin Ave.) and uwmilwaukeepantherarena.com, with presales beginning at 10 a.m. May 14 at lorde.co.nz. Prices have yet to be announced.
