Lorde, Grammy winner and one of the most relevant voices in contemporary music, is the latest confirmation for July 11th on the NOS Stage at NOS Alive’26.

Lorde is a cultural force known for her genre-defying sound, introspective lyricism, and singular creative vision. Since her debut with Pure Heroine in 2013, she has redefined the boundaries of modern pop — merging poetic songwriting with minimalist and emotionally charged production. To date, she has amassed over 18 billion streams and 18 million album sales worldwide.

In April 2025, she made her return with “What Was That”, her first original release in four years and the lead single from her upcoming album Virgin. The song debuted to widespread critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching #1 on Spotify in the US — her first #1 on the platform since “Royals” — as well as #3 in the UK and #5 globally, reaffirming her place at the forefront of contemporary pop music.

Following “What Was That”, came “Man of the Year” and “Hammer” — both of which have steadily climbed the charts and already accumulated nearly 200 million streams ahead of the album release. Co-produced by Lorde and Jim-E Stack, the record marks the next step in her artistic evolution and was previewed during an exclusive fan event in New York City. On July 11th, she’ll bring that experience to Portugal for a performance on the NOS Stage.
