Lorde concert chronology

The Melodrama World Tour was the second concert tour by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, undertaken in support of her second studio album, Melodrama (2017). Lorde headlined several music festivals before commencing the tour, and went on to communicate frequently with stage designer Es Devlin to plan the show's design. European shows began in September 2017, followed by dates in Oceania and a solo trek through North America. Dates in other European cities soon followed along with various festival performances.

The show consisted of three segments and two costume changes. The first featured Lorde in a dark outfit, while during the second segment she wore a lighter costume. The set list consisted of songs from her debut and second studio albums. She also performed one of several cover versions of songs at each show and premiered an unreleased song titled "Precious Metals". An alternate set list with several video interludes was performed during the first European leg of her tour. The show received critical acclaim, with critics complimenting her stage design and her presence.
