JUST IN: Lorde is officially coming to Australia this summer – here's how to get tickets to her Sydney show

Time Out10-07-2025
What was that? You've got it: the tour announcement we've all been waiting for. Fresh off her incredible surprise set at Glastonbury, alt-pop icon Lorde has confirmed the details for her Ultrasound World Tour, and she'll be coming to Sydney this summer. Set to perform in six cities across Australia and New Zealand in February 2026, Lorde's 2026 homecoming tour will be her first time performing on New Zealand (and Aussie) soil since 2023. With a whole new album (the already-approaching-cult-status Virgin) now out in the open, we've got high hopes. Keen? Here's everything you need to know about Lorde's 2026 Sydney show.
When is the Lorde Sydney show?
So far, Lorde has confirmed the details for one Sydney show – she's set to light up the Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday February, 18. If other artists of her calibre are anything to go by, we're pretty certain this won't be the only Harbour City show – we'll keep you posted if and when additional dates are announced (and you can stay in the loop over here).
When do Lorde Sydney tickets go on sale?
General release tickets go on sale at 2pm Sydney time on Friday, July 18 via the Frontier Touring website.
Is there a Lorde pre-sale for her Sydney show?
Absolutely. Presale for American Express Card Members goes live at 1pm on Tuesday, July 15, and presale for Frontier Members will go live at 2pm on Thursday, July 17.
How much are Lorde tickets?
Ticket prices haven't been confirmed, but we'd expect them to be priced at around $130 for C Reserve Seating, with VIP packages likely to stretch to upwards of $300. We'll keep you posted when more details are released.
Who is the support act for Lorde's Sydney show?
The support acts for Lorde's Ultrasound World Tour are still under wraps, stay tuned.
Where is Lorde's Australian and New Zealand tour?
Lorde's Ultrasound World Tour will kick off in her home country of New Zealand at Spark Arena, Auckland on Wednesday, February 11 followed by a show at Wolfbrook Arena, Christchurch on Friday, February 13.
The Aussie leg will kick off at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday, February 16, and she'll play her Sydney show at Qudos Bank Arena a few days later on Wednesday, February 18. After lighting up the Harbour City, she'll head to Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena for a show on Saturday, February 21 before a final show at RAC Arena, Perth on Wednesday, February 25. Based on the gaps in that schedule, we've got a feeling more shows will be announced – here's hoping.

Bluey episode pulled from screens for completely unexpected reason

Some Bluey fans are unable to watch an episode of the beloved kids show after it was removed from a streaming service. The Australian animated series first hit screens in 2020. It follows the titular character, a Blue Heeler puppy, and her family – Dad Bandit, Mum Chilli and younger sister Bingo. Bluey proved a massive success and two years after premiering Down Under, it was rolled out globally – with episodes streaming on BBC iPlayer and Disney Plus in the UK. However, a recent promotion between BBC Studios and Australian hardware store Bunnings has resulted in an episode now being unable to air. The season 2 episode Hammerbarn follows Bandit being inspired to build a new pizza oven before taking his family to visit their local hardware store, Hammerbarn, for supplies. A few years on, Bunnings has rolled out products connected to the show – including garden gnomes, rugs, hats, socks and tote bags – whilst also hosting in-store scavenger hunts and workshops. This has meant the show's local broadcaster – the Australian Broadcasting Corporation – can no longer air the episode due to the government-funded network being banned from advertising and taking part in commercial partnerships. 'This campaign is a BBC Studios and Bunnings partnership,' an ABC representative said in a statement to Channel Nine. 'As the ABC cannot align with a commercial brand or partnership, the Bluey episode Hammerbarn will temporarily be unavailable on ABC iView while the Bunnings Hammerbarn campaign is live.' They went on to explain that the episode would 'return to ABC iView at a later date'. Although Hammerbarn is still available to stream in the UK and US, Australian viewers have been left frustrated, with one parent saying it was 'silly'. Despite the ABC being bound by regulations, Bunnings spokeswoman Melissa O'Neill told Kidspot the company was disappointed the ABC had chosen to remove the episode, in which the Heeler family visit their local hardware store. 'It's sad to think that they can't enjoy the episode. And particularly given Bluey fans can buy merchandise from a range of retailers and sites both in Australia and overseas,' she said. When the Bluey merch was first released in Bunnings last year it sparked a frenzy, with the garden gnomes 'flying off shelves'. There were four available – Hecuba, Tony, Jeremy and the Meditation gnome – which retailed for $19 (£9.50). More Trending However, after they became so in demand, some started advertising full sets on eBay for as much as $1000 (£500). Following the success of Bluey (it was last year revealed to be the most-streamed show in the US, watched for 55.62 billion minutes on Disney Plus), the Walt Disney Company and BBC Studios announced in December 2024 that the show was being developed into a feature film. Due for release in 2027, creator Joe Brumm will be leading the Ludo Studios production as the writer and director. View More » Bluey is streaming on BBC iPlayer and Disney Plus in the UK.

'My husband got cringeworthy tattoo of me so I made sure to get payback on him'

Tegan De Vil was shocked when her husband Jarrie surprised her by getting an embarrassing photo of her face tattooed onto his thigh. But she now got her revenge on her spouse For many, tattoos are a big decision that often takes time to plan out as they're filled with profound meaning. Yet for some, it's merely an fun and exciting way to decorate their bodies with. ‌ An Australian couple, however, have taken a unique approach to expressing their affection through ink – and it's not what you'd typically expect. Tegan De Vil, an influencer with a hefty following of over 300,000 on Instagram and TikTok, is known for her comedic skits and occasionally features her husband, Jarrie, in her content. This has included Tegan giving Jarrie a taste of pregnancy when she was pregnant with their firstborn child. ‌ The pair previously made waves when Jarrie surprised Tegan by getting a tattoo of her pulling a humorous face etched onto his body. But now, Tegan has exacted the ultimate revenge on her spouse. ‌ "Remember that time my husband got that tattoo of me," she penned on her Instagram video. The clip then revealed the ink in question, situated on Jarrie's inner thigh. The tattoo captured Tegan's face in an exaggerated grimace, eyes cast upwards, mirroring a photo of her which she also displayed in the footage. ‌ The scene then switched to Tegan, adopting a stern expression as she faced the camera, before panning to reveal a tattoo parlour in the background, hinting at her retaliatory plans. "Payback time Jarrie," she simply penned on the clip before flashing a grin and ending the video. Her 79,900 Instagram followers were sent into a frenzy, with many begging for Tegan to reveal the completed tattoo. Days later, she obliged with a second video where she showed off her eagerly awaited new tattoo. ‌ "Surely you're not that crazy to get his named tattooed," read the text overlay at the beginning, showing her with hair wrapped in a towel, munching on a stuffed pita. The footage then swiftly transitioned to the big reveal – and it was far more audacious than merely inking his name. She opted for a full-blown portrait of Jarrie's face pulling a comical grimace, etched onto her calf. She followed up by sharing the brief clip that inspired the tattoo's design. "Hahaha I love it," one viewer exclaimed in the comments. "This is the kind of pettiness I want in a partner. Not me looking through old photos of my wife." remarked a second. "Omg, this is awesome!" a third chimed in. "May this type of love find me!" a fourth admirer commented, clearly amused by the gesture.

'My husband got embarrassing tattoo of me – but I certainly had the last laugh'

A woman named Tegan decided to get revenge on her husband after he surprised her with getting an embarrassing tattoo of her on her leg - and people are praising her for what she did For most people, tattoos are a big commitment that needs to be thought out way in advance and often have a deep meaning connected with it. For others, it's simply something fun they get done to decorate their bodies with. ‌ But for one Australian couple, they used tattoos to show their love for each other - but not in the way you might expect. Tegan De Vil is an influencer with over 300,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok. She often shares funny sketches and sometimes also includes features from her husband, Jarrie. This has previously included Tegan letting Jarrie experience what it's like being pregnant when she was carrying their first child. ‌ However, the couple have previously gained popularity after Jarrie surprised his wife by getting a photo of Tegan doing a funny tattoo onto his body. But now, Tegan has done the ultimate revenge to get back on her husband. ‌ "Remember that time my husband got that tattoo of me," she wrote on the Instagram video. She then cut to show the photo of the tattoo, which was located on her husband's inner thigh. It showed Tegan's face doing a exaggerated grimace with her face as she looked up with her eyes. It was based on a photo of her, which she also went on to show in the video. ‌ The video then cut to her, looking serious as she looked into the camera, which she then slowly turned to show a tattoo studio that was located behind her. "Payback time Jarrie," she simply wrote on the video before she smiled and ended the video. Her 79,900 followers quickly went crazy with many begging Tegan to show the finished tattoo. And a few days later, she made a follow-up video when she revealed her highly anticipated revenge tattoo. ‌ "Surely you're not that crazy to get his named tattooed," the text on the video said at the start where it showed her with her hair up in a towel, eating a filled pita. The video then quickly cut to the tattoo reveal - and it was much bigger than just getting his named tattooed. Instead, it's a portrait of Jarrie's face doing a funny grimace which she decided to get done on her calf. She then went on to show the short video clip of Jarrie doing the face which the tattoo was based on. "Hahaha I love it," one person commented. A second viewer said: "This is the kind of pettiness I want in a partner. Not me looking through old photos of my wife." "Omg, this is awesome!" another person said. A fourth viewer also wrote: "May this type of love find me!!!"
