New Zealand popstar Lorde hailed \u201cthe best line-up I\u2019ve ever been part of\u201d as she headlined All Points East.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old said it was \u201cso crazy\u201d to be headlining the London festival having played at the first ever edition of the Victoria Park event in 2018.<\/p>\n

She performed a set which drew heavily on her latest album Virgin (2025).<\/p>\n

Midway through her set she said: \u201cI think this is literally the best line-up I\u2019ve ever been part of.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s crazy, I went around this afternoon and watched people and I was really struck by what this group of artists are doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt so honoured to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis group of artists that you\u2019ve seen today, have been trying to imagine a new world, it\u2019s like I\u2019ve been trying to find new ways to live, new ways to see, I really felt that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the day, the festival saw performances from the likes of PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson and Oklou.<\/p>\n

Lorde, wearing an all black waterproof outfit, opened with Royals from her self-titled 2013 debut album, before moving on to Virgin\u2019s lead single What Was That.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere during the evening she recalled coming to Victoria Park with someone she had a crush on which she said was \u201calmost agony\u201d before adding \u201cand it didn\u2019t stop, he\u2019s here tonight\u201d.<\/p>\n

For Liability, video footage of Lorde\u2019s early days was projected on to her shirt, while a banner which read \u201cI don\u2019t belong to anyone 2013\u201d was passed out into the crowd during David.<\/p>\n

She finished with Ribs, one of her earliest tracks, on a small stage in the middle of the VIP section of the crowd, who jumped along with her.<\/p>\n

The singer, real name Ella Yelich-O\u2019Connor, released her first studio album in almost four years in June last year.<\/p>\n

On the day of the album\u2019s release she surprised fans with a secret set at Glastonbury Festival, where she performed Virgin in full.<\/p>\n

The chart-topping record is her fourth studio album. Her previous albums, Pure Heroine (2013), Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021) all reached the top 10 in the UK albums chart.<\/p>\n

The singer is best known for songs such as Green Light, Solar Power and her 2013 single Royals, which reached number one in the UK singles chart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New Zealand popstar Lorde hailed \u201cthe best line-up I\u2019ve ever been part of\u201d as she headlined All Points…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602085,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":["post-602084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
