Published on 08/20/2026 at 21:02 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Lorde is taking her Ultrasound World Tour into some of Germany’s biggest live spaces in 2026. According to a ticket overview from Business Insider and updated listings on German platforms, she will play Olympiastadion Berlin on July 18, 2026, and a full concert at Olympiapark München on August 31, 2026, as part of a new headliner series.
Confirmed German and European 2026 dates
The strongest anchor for German fans is the Berlin stadium date on July 18, 2026, at Olympiastadion, which appears in a Business Insider ticket guide with concrete pricing and city details alongside other Ultrasound World Tour stops in Europe and North America. Business Insider’s ticket guide lists Berlin with prices starting around $109, placing the show among the more affordable major festival-style dates on the run.
Beyond Berlin, the tour’s European festival leg includes appearances at events such as Gurtenfestival in Bern on July 16, Paléo Festival in Nyon on July 21, and a set in Madrid’s Iberdrola Music park for Mad Cool Festival on July 9, 2026, all framed as part of a continuous summer swing through Switzerland, France, Italy and Spain before Lorde returns to Germany at the end of August.
The Munich headliner night and support acts
The August 31, 2026 concert in Munich is listed by local event portal Rausgegangen as a headline show within a three-evening series at Olympiapark München, with Lorde playing a full-length set and Audrey Hobert among the special guests. The Rausgegangen event listing specifies Olympiapark München as the venue, running from August 31 to September 2 with a different headliner each night.
Several ticket and concert listing sites tie Lorde’s Munich appearance to a large-scale outdoor configuration at Olympiapark, with doors on August 31 often given around early evening and a combined billing with emerging pop artist Audrey Hobert. Compared with the Berlin stadium show, which sits within a festival environment at Olympiastadion and Olympiapark, Munich offers German fans a more focused concert setting within the same metropolitan area, underlining how strongly her current tour prioritizes the country.

How the Ultrasound World Tour is structured
Lorde’s current run is framed around the Ultrasound World Tour, a large-scale arena and festival itinerary supporting her fourth studio album Virgin. According to the tour overview on LordeTour.org, the 2026 leg stretches from New Zealand and Australia in February through Mexico, the US and Canada in spring, before shifting to major European cities and festivals in July, August and early September. The independent tour schedule outlines dates in Auckland, Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, then lists festival slots such as Governors Ball in New York, Mad Cool in Madrid and Lollapalooza Berlin.
Set against this worldwide picture, the two German dates – Berlin on July 18, 2026, and Munich on August 31, 2026 – sit within the final European summer stretch, before the tour heads to Luxembourg at Rockhal on September 1 and concludes with North American festival dates at Zilker Park in Austin in early October. For fans comparing venue sizes, Olympiastadion Berlin can hold well over 60,000 people in a concert configuration, while Olympiapark München and the associated Olympiastadion or Olympiahall settings generally host audiences in the mid-five-figure range, underlining how central Germany is to the tour’s European routing.
Where Lorde stands artistically
Musically, Lorde’s Ultrasound era builds on her established alternative pop profile, mixing the minimalist, beat-heavy approach of her debut Pure Heroine with the more expansive, emotionally volatile songwriting of Melodrama. Her 2025 album Virgin is described by new release listings as a “beat-forward resurrection” that bridges those two phases, and on stage the current tour blends early breakthrough singles like Royals and Team with later tracks such as Green Light and new material from Virgin.
For German audiences, that means the Berlin and Munich shows will likely function as broad career surveys rather than narrowly focused album showcases. Stadium and large-park contexts typically encourage setlists that move from darker, intimate tracks toward bigger, communal sing-alongs, and Lorde’s catalogue now contains enough singles and deep cuts to sustain that arc across a full-length set in spaces like Olympiastadion Berlin and Olympiapark München.
What’s next in her live calendar
Lorde’s next officially listed live date after today’s publication is August 31, 2026, at Olympiapark München, Germany, for a headline concert with special guests including Audrey Hobert.
