Lorde will perform at the AO Arena in Manchester this week

Lorde is performing a huge gig at the AO Arena in Manchester this week, as part of her Ultrasound World Tour.

The New Zealand-born singer burst onto the music scene at the tender ages of 16 with her smash-hit single Royals, way back in 2013.

Since then, she’s gone on to break several records with the releases of her four studio albums, and scooped up a handful of GRAMMYs and BRIT awards along the way too.

As well as her gig at the AO Arena here in Manchester, Lorde will also be calling at major UK cities including London, Birmingham and Glasgow.

The tour comes hot off the heels of the release of her latest album, Virgin, which once again topped the Official UK Album Charts.
