Virgin marks Lorde’s fourth album and first since 2021’s Solar Power. She wrote and produced the record with Jim-E Stack, while additional contributors include Dev Hynes (a.k.a. Blood Orange), Dan Nigro, and Fabiana Palladino.

Lorde finished the set with impassioned renditions of " Ribs " and " Green Light ." The former, which stands as the emotional centrepiece of debut album Pure Heroine, made its first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 in May - 12 years on from its release.

Pop star Lorde has launched the 2025 Glastonbury Festival with a surprise pre-lunchtime set to a packed crowd on the Woodsies stage. The star was greeted by thousands of fans, who crammed into the tent after rumours about her appearance started spreading around the site.
