Bus to Lorde – RDS Simmonscourt – 22nd November 2025
Lorde brings her highly anticipated Ultrasound World Tour to Dublin for one night only, performing live at the iconic RDS Simmonscourt on 22nd November 2025. This marks Lorde’s first-ever solo headline show in Ireland — a major moment for fans who’ve waited years to see the critically acclaimed artist on Irish soil. With a setlist drawn from her full discography, including new material from her 2025 album Virgin, Lorde promises a show that is as emotionally rich as it is visually spectacular.
Expect stunning performances of fan-favourites like “Green Light,” “Royals,” “Supercut,” and “Solar Power,” alongside the lush synth-pop textures and lyrical intimacy of her new tracks. The Ultrasound tour has already drawn praise for its inventive stage design and Lorde’s captivating presence — described by critics as “intimate yet cinematic.” This is not just a concert; it’s an immersive experience for long-time fans and new listeners alike.

For fans heading to Lorde’s landmark concert at RDS Simmonscourt on 22nd November 2025, Irish Concert Travel makes it easy to get there and back — no stress, no hassle, just smooth travel tailored for music lovers. Our same-day return coach services operate from the West and Midlands. This means wherever you’re travelling from, your route is covered with efficiency and comfort in mind. When the concert ends, your return coach will be waiting. The coach will depart 30 minutes after the final encore, so you won’t have to rush out before the last song. You’ll travel home with fellow fans, creating a fun and safe group atmosphere, ideal for sharing stories and highlights from the show. Helpful travel tips: Our services operate along the most direct routes to the concerts, and we have limited the number of collection/drop off points, with the aim of reducing the travel times to and from your favourite events. Irish Concert Travel reserves the right to adjust travel routes as necessary to optimise efficiency and scheduling. Unlike public transport, which may involve several changes or leave you stranded after midnight, our return service is custom-built for events like this. The RDS is a fantastic venue, but its location — just outside the city centre — can mean longer walks to public transport at night, especially once the crowds spill out. For fans travelling from more remote areas or without access to late-night return options, this service removes the worry of booking hotels or catching early morning buses. You can focus entirely on the experience — the lights, the music, the shared emotion — and we’ll focus on getting you there and back safely. This is the most convenient way to reach Lorde’s only Irish date on her Ultrasound World Tour. Whether you’re coming solo or with friends, this is your all-in-one transport solution to one of 2025’s most anticipated live shows.

Lorde, born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor, is a Grammy Award-winning artist known for redefining pop with her deeply poetic lyrics, minimalist production, and unmistakable voice. Bursting onto the global stage at just 16 with her breakout single “Royals” in 2013, Lorde became the youngest solo artist to achieve a number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in over two decades. Her debut album, Pure Heroine, quickly followed, earning critical acclaim for its stripped-down sound and mature commentary on adolescence, fame, and suburban life. Now, with three acclaimed studio albums behind her — Pure Heroine (2013), Melodrama (2017), and Solar Power (2021) — Lorde returns in 2025 with her fourth studio album, Virgin. The record is said to explore themes of transformation, sensory overload, and emotional rebirth, and marks a bold evolution in her sonic identity. Fans will experience this new material live during her *Ultrasound World Tour*, with her Dublin date at RDS Simmonscourt being the only Irish show on the entire tour — and her first full headline appearance in the country. Lorde’s performances are often described as transcendent — blending evocative lighting, dreamlike visuals, and her raw, physical presence on stage. She is known to curate each tour around a central aesthetic and emotional theme, making every concert a fully realised creative vision. Previous tours have featured everything from mirrored sets and monochrome color schemes to immersive storytelling elements between songs. With Ultrasound, early reports suggest Lorde is pushing this even further — creating an atmosphere designed to feel “both womb-like and expansive,” as she described in a recent interview. Audiences at RDS can expect a powerful setlist that spans the biggest moments of her career: “Green Light,” “Liability,” “Ribs,” “The Louvre,” and of course, the global hit “Royals.” These will be paired with new material from Virgin, which she has hinted blends electronic textures with organic instrumentation and subtle trip-hop influences. There’s also anticipation of surprise visuals and possibly even unreleased material making its live debut in Dublin.About Lorde
