Lorde Sets Kia Forum Date for 19:00 Ultrasound Tour Stop
lorde is scheduled to play Kia Forum in Inglewood on 15.05.2026 at 19:00, and tickets for the show are in demand. The arena date lands as part of the Ultrasound tour, which follows her fourth studio album Virgin.
Virgin arrived on 27.06.2025 and drew an 82 on Metacritic from 20 critical reviews. That puts the Los Angeles-area stop in a strong commercial lane before a note is sung, with the tour now serving an album that already has a measurable critical footprint.
Virgin, then Kia Forum
The show ties the current tour to a release cycle that began with Virgin and then moves into a venue built for scale. Kia Forum in Inglewood was specially adapted for concerts after a major renovation, and its circular shape gives the audience the feeling that it surrounds the stage.
The floor can also function as a large general admission area, which makes the room feel more like an event market than a seated theater night. For a ticketed arena stop, that usually means the most desirable spots disappear fast, especially when demand is already described that way.
From Royals to Hammer
2013, 2017, and 2021 map the route behind the setlist conversation: Pure Heroine, Melodrama, and Solar Power. The songs named from that stretch — “Royals,” “Team,” “Green Light,” and “Supercut” — sit alongside newer cuts “What Was That,” “Man of the Year,” and “Hammer,” giving the tour material that reaches across three album eras and the new one.
Jim-E Stack, Dan Nigro, and Buddy Ross are listed as collaborators on Virgin, which adds another layer to the live draw. That matters because the current run is not just trading on legacy singles; it is carrying a new record with a review score, a fresh release date, and enough demand to make the Kia Forum stop a hard ticket in the Los Angeles market.
Inglewood on 15.05.2026
The practical move for readers is simple: if this date matters, treat 15.05.2026 at 19:00 as the target and act before the in-demand inventory tightens further. This is the kind of arena show that tends to reward early buying, and the combination of a renovated room, a current album, and a catalog that still reaches back to “Royals” makes it one of the tour’s most specific dates.
