What it was like
Kia Forum, Inglewood. May 14th, 2026. Lorde — whose three albums have each arrived as cultural events, each from a different version of the same person at a different point in her life — bringing the Ultrasound tour to an 18,000-seat arena in Los Angeles with the production to match what she's built.
Lorde performs for rooms that know every word, and the Kia Forum on May 14th will be exactly that. "Royals" didn't just chart — it recalibrated what a sixteen-year-old was allowed to say on pop radio. "Green Light" is one of the purest pieces of pop music written in the last decade. Pure Heroine, Melodrama, Solar Power — three complete statements from the same artist, each demanding to be heard differently, each earning a standing ovation in a different way.
Tickets at ticketmaster.com. The Kia Forum is the right scale for this — large enough to carry the production design, intimate enough to feel like she's performing for a crowd rather than filling an arena. Get your ticket and be there. The Ultrasound tour is a real tour from a real artist who takes the live experience seriously. The room will earn it.
