Maybe, but my hunch is this is the kinda tour where there would be some massive casualties. Maybe even Royals/Green Light.

Surely not?!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Anything that does get included will likely be rearranged to be a bit more gospelly and organic.

Hopefully Bez is in the band.

Probably not, I can just see her really honing in on Solar Power with this tour. 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]

Kinda here for Royals being her creep

[jannybruck]

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.

Lorde’s latest email “press release” 😂😂😂 

[Matt42]

I have the code but it says invalid code. Anyone else?

Doesn’t start till 10 does it 

[jparx]

Yep, starts at 10. Although “invalid code” is giving me palpitations after the Worthy Farm stream!

Lol I'm so eager. I don't think I'm going to get these tickets but might as well try

I'm sure we'll be fine, mate. As long as you're on the ball and have the code, it'll be no problem I'm sure.

Got my Roundhouse ticket for the Wednesday! Flying to Primavera the following day... what a week this is going to be.

[jparx]

I'm in! Roundhouse on the 2nd. Did get bumped in a queue for a minute or so, but pretty easy overall.

Cannae wait.

[Fishman]

Boom - sorted.

Wednesday 1st, Lorde; Thursday 2nd, Flaming Lips and end of the month in Pilton.

When it finally arrives June 22 is gonna be good.

You're joking! Were you here https://www.gigsandtours.com/event/lorde-the-solar-power-tour/roundhouse/1975465 ?

They're gone now, but for the first few minutes it seemed pretty easy to get on.

[Hutchmaster]

Yeah that was pretty seamless for me, got on 10am on the dot and was straight in.

Yes and after various refreshes nothing changed. My page didn't change at all.

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.

FFS that's really annoying! I'm having to really fiddle about with my holidays to make the Thursday one work, and then she adds a Friday one 😂

Aaaaand they're gone. Hope you got in there Matt! The extra date should increase your chances tomorrow if not.
