Brisbane Entertainment Centre will come alive next February as New Zealand pop star Lorde brings her new world tour to the arena stage, marking her first Brisbane performance in over two years.
Lorde’s Return to the Brisbane Stage Sparks Arena Buzz
The show is scheduled for Monday, 16 February 2026, as part of Lorde’s Ultrasound World Tour, supporting her latest album Virgin, which launched in June 2025. The concert is the artist’s only stop in Queensland and the first of her Australian dates, before she heads to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
Tickets for the Brisbane show have already sold out through Ticketek, with pre-sales and general public access snapped up within days of release in July.
Community Excitement Builds Around Sold-Out Show
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre’s inclusion as the tour’s first Australian venue is a major win for local fans. With a capacity of over 13,000, the arena in Boondall is set to welcome a full crowd. According to the venue’s listing, the show will be an all-ages event, and even infants will require tickets to attend.
The local response has been strong, with Frontier Touring reporting high demand across the Australian leg. Ticketek currently lists Brisbane as “allocation exhausted,” meaning no standard tickets remain available. While some fans may look to resale options, official channels recommend keeping an eye out for future ticket releases closer to the date.
Lorde’s Album Success Fuels Tour Hype
Lorde is back on the global stage for the first time since 2023, and Brisbane is getting a front-row seat. Her new album Virgin has topped Aussie charts, with hits like What Was That and Shapeshifter racking up millions of streams.
Fans can expect a powerful mix of fresh tracks and old favourites, backed by bold visuals and a dynamic sound. While Brisbane’s set list is still under wraps, earlier shows have delivered striking production and plenty of surprises.
Transport, Access and Tips for Attendees
Brisbane Entertainment Centre is just a short walk from Boondall train station, with parking available on site for cardholders. The venue caters to accessibility needs, offering wheelchair access, companion seating and assistance for guests with mobility or sensory requirements.
Organisers urge fans to arrive early to beat the crowds and get through security smoothly. Those who missed out on tickets can keep an eye on Frontier Touring or Ticketek in case more seats become available.
