'Lorde' kicked off the 5th date of her European leg of 'The Melodrama World Tour'. She performed at the O2 Academy in Glasgow and it was the first time she performed in Scotland since 2014 when she played 'BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend' at Glasgow Green.
Before the singer from New Zealand came on stage she was supported by 'Anna of the North' who replaced the young singer and songwriter 'Khalid'. 'Lorde' came on stage at 9:15 with a little video intro on the TV at the side of the stage right before she performed 'Homemade Dynamite' from her first album 'Pure Heroine' and then followed up with the song she collaborated with 'Disclosure' called 'Magnets'. She had a very emotional connection with the fans in her energetic performance and her stage set up was a perfect link up to her set with the different visuals and bright colours.
Before perfoming the song 'Liability' from her latest album 'Melodrama' she interacted the crowd and went on to explain the meaning and inspiration of the song which made her write it and by the end of such a deep conversation to the crowd she managed to get the Scottish crowd chant the famous "Here we f**king go". Coming to the end of the set she performed fan favourites with 'Royals' and a stunning, colourful performance of 'Green Light' to which everyone in the O2 Academy was jumping and dancing to then just before the song came to an end a big burst of star shaped confetti exploded into the air.
'Melodrama' is the latest album by 'Lorde' which was released on the 16th of June 2017, you can buy the album here: lorde.lnk.to/melodrama
'Lorde' is currently on 'The Melodrama World Tour' which is getting split up into legs in Europe, New Zealand and Australia and North America which is running into 2018.
