Lorde is entering her "why the fuck not" era as she hints at what may come next at Sziget Festival
“This is my summer vacation too,” says Lorde, onstage at Sziget. She’s spent the past week playing a handful of European festivals, with the gigs moving away from the sun-soaked art installation of her Solar Power tour and towards whatever comes next. As you can imagine from one of the most exciting pop artists of a generation, The Internet has been awash with theories, excitement and rumours, with every show dissected for clues. “I just made a set where I got to dance the entire time,” Lorde explains tonight.

True to her vision, her sunset slot at Sziget is a twisting, driving party. Flume’s crunching remix of breakout single ‘Tennis Court’ and a return of ‘Magnets’, her bass-heavy collab with Disclosure, set the pace for the evening while ‘Solar Power’ and ‘The Path’ prove that Lorde knew exactly what she was doing on that third album.
