Lorde headlined All Points East 2026 last night, August 22, at Victoria Park in London. The Kiwi pop star described the festival's line-up as "literally the best line-up I’ve ever been part of."
During her set, which featured tracks from her 2025 album 'Virgin', Lorde noted it was "so crazy" to headline the festival, having previously played at its first edition in 2018. The line-up included artists such as PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, and ML Buch.
Lorde also shared personal anecdotes, recalling a visit to Victoria Park in 2024 with a crush who was present at the 2026 performance. During her song 'Liability', videos of her younger self were projected onto her top, and a banner reading "I don’t belong to anyone 2013" was passed through the crowd during 'David'.
Her album 'Virgin' was reviewed by NME as "a vibrant combination of Lorde’s best qualities, and then some." Last month, Lorde released demos from the album and discussed the emotional challenges she faced while creating it, including a breakup, an eating disorder, and a PMDD diagnosis.
