Melodrama tour finished. The 2022 tour, for her yet to be released album, Solar Power, was set to collide with summer. In interviews and emails, the singer has discussed how summer inspired her forthcoming album. She timed the release of its first single, the title track Solar Power, for the Northern Hemisphere’s summer and announced the tour on their summer solstice. Solar Power was Lorde’s first release of new music since her second album, Melodrama, came out in 2017. The next batch of tickets for Lorde’s New Zealand concerts would be released on June 30, at midday, for people signed up to Lorde’s mailing list.
