German dates on the Ultrasound World Tour

For Germany, two dates are confirmed: Berlin on July 18, 2026 at Olympiastadion and Munich on August 31, 2026 at Olympiahalle, with the Munich show listed as a joint concert with rising artist Audrey Hobert on platforms like Songkick and German event portals.

Where the Ultrasound tour started and where it is heading
The Ultrasound World Tour began in 2025 in North America, with early shows in Austin and a sequence of arena stops that established the show’s visual and musical identity.
In 2026 the tour moved through New Zealand and Australia in February, including an arena night at Perth’s RAC Arena covered by Australian live reviewers, before heading to Mexico, the United States and Canada in spring and then into the European festival season.
Virgin’s chart story and German relevance
Lorde’s album Virgin gives the tour its framework, and its chart run helps explain the demand for these big shows.
According to Germany’s Official Charts, Virgin entered the Offizielle Deutsche Charts in July 2025 and peaked at number 3 on the albums list, spending several weeks in the Top 10 and confirming that Germany remains one of Lorde’s strongest European markets.
Streaming numbers and long-term reach
Beyond charts, Lorde’s catalog has continued to grow on streaming platforms in the lead-up to the German dates.
Data aggregators that track Spotify show that by mid-August 2026 her songs have surpassed 11.8 billion total streams, with over 1.5 billion for her breakout single Royals alone and more than 3 million daily streams across all tracks.
Virgin in the context of Lorde’s work
In Lorde’s discography, Virgin stands as a bridge between earlier phases of her sound.
Commentary from music press in mid-2025 described it as a beat-driven record that combines the minimal, nocturnal mood of Pure Heroine with the emotionally volatile, orchestral approach of Melodrama, while still nodding to the sun-washed textures of Solar Power.
What’s next for Lorde
The next officially listed live date after today is the Olympiahalle Munich concert on August 31, 2026, where she is scheduled to appear with Audrey Hobert.
