GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - JUNE 27: New Zealand singer/songwriter Lorde performs on the Woodsies stage during day three of Glastonbury festival 2025 at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 27, 2025 in Glastonbury, England. Established by Michael Eavis in 1970, Glastonbury has grown into the UK's largest music festival, drawing over 200,000 fans to enjoy performances across more than 100 stages. In 2026, the festival will take a fallow year, a planned pause to allow the Worthy Farm site time to rest and recover. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images)
Today, Lorde released her much-anticipated fourth album Virgins, and guess what: It’s fucking great! Good job, Lorde! She has been building up to that release for a long time, but she hasn’t really been performing live, unless you count lip-syncing “What Was That” at Washington Square Park during what turned out to be the guerrilla video shoot. Even when she went on Colbert a few nights ago, Lorde didn’t perform. She was saving it up. Earlier today, at 11:30AM UK time, Lorde made a widely rumored surprise appearance at the Glastonbury Festival’s Woodsies stage, and she performed every song on the album, in order.
