Lorde Closes All Points East 2026 With 20-Song Set Spanning Her Whole Catalogue

Lorde closed out All Points East at London's Victoria Park on Saturday, August 22, 2026, with a 20-song headline set built around her 2025 album Virgin.

On Stage: Projections, a Banner, and a Confession

During "Liability," Lorde projected footage of her younger self onto the shirt she was wearing. Later, during "David" — the closing track of Virgin — a banner reading "I don't belong to anyone 2013" was passed through the crowd.

She also told the audience that her first time at Victoria Park was with a crush she'd brought along, calling the experience "almost agony" — adding that the same person was in the crowd again that night. Reflecting on the day's lineup, she said she'd walked the festival grounds that afternoon watching other sets, and felt the artists on the bill were all trying to imagine a new world.

Who Else Played, and What's Next

All Points East's August 22 bill also included PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, 2hollis, Oklou, Audrey Hobert, Rose Gray, Esha Tewari, ML Buch, and Fabiana Palladino.

Lorde heads to Bristol next week for Forwards Presents, followed by an appearance at Edinburgh Summer Sessions.

A Year Inside Virgin

Virgin received a four-star review from NME, which described it as blending the emotional intensity of Melodrama, the stripped-back chill of Pure Heroine, and the looseness of Solar Power. Marking the album's one-year anniversary last month, Lorde released a batch of demos and wrote a newsletter documenting the making of the record, describing the experience of putting it out as "raw and exposing" — a period during which she also went through a breakup, disordered eating, and a PMDD diagnosis.
