Since catapulting onto the scene as a teenager with her fantastic debut album Pure Heroine in 2013, New Zealand’s Lorde has become one of the most lauded, acclaimed, and important artists in modern pop, carefully crafting a new album every four years, each exploring a new sonic and thematic ethos, capturing the enigmatic pop star’s last 12 years of personal growth parallel to her artistic growth. Following her shimmering, electronic, minimalist and hip hop informed debut, Lorde went maximalist with lush, conceptual, art and electro-pop followup Melodrama, in 2017, then made her biggest artistic swerve with folk and psych-pop informed third LP Solar Power in 2021, before returning to more dance-primed, electro and and synth-pop with her latest, this summer’s Virgin.
Yet another critically-acclaimed, deeply personal, and pleasantly subversive work of modern pop, propelled by a unique and edgy visual ethos,Virgin reasserts that Lorde still is one of the most interesting and dependable artists making music today, and will undoubtedly rank among the year’s best records. In support of the new LP, Lorde just kicked off her highly-anticipated Ultrasound World Tour earlier this week, and will return to Nashville (where she’s played once for each album cycle, at the Grand Ole Opry House in 2014 and 2022, and at Bridgestone Arena in 2018) for a pair of headlining shows at The Pinnacle tonight, Sept. 20 and tomorrow, Sept. 21. English indie pop artist The Japanese House and New York alt/indie up and comer Chanel Beads will support, and a limited numbers of tickets for both shows are still available here (9/20) and here (9/21) while they last!
Lorde, The Japanese House, and Chanel Beads will perform Saturday, Sept. 20 and Sunday, Sept. 21 at The Pinnacle. The shows are all ages, begin at 7 p.m. (doors at 6 p.m.), and limited tickets are available from $99.47 here (9/20) and here (9/21).
