Lorde Enlists Run the Jewels, Mitski, Tove Stryke for North American Tour

Lorde is a pretty big deal. We know this because the first week of her Melodrama World Tour in the U.K., during which she performed to as many as 10,000 fans at a show, was completely sold-out. In March, she’ll be hopping across the pond to our neck of the woods, and has enlisted none other than Killer Mike and El-P of Run the Jewels to energize the crowd before she graces the stage. They’re a pretty big deal, too.

They’ll be kicking off in Milwaukee in March, making their way all over North America before finishing out the tour in Nashville in mid-April. Also joining Run the Jewels in support of Lorde will be Tove Stryke during the first half of the run; then Mitski is set to take over for the rest.
Tickets are available here. See the full itinerary below, and our review of Melodrama here.
