Lorde Is Hosting a Secret Listening Party for "Virgin"—And You Could Be There!
Alright, listen up, Lorde stans—this is not a drill. If you’ve ever dreamed of hearing a brand-new Lorde album before it officially drops, surrounded by fellow fans, at a club, with a drag queen serving looks, then clear your calendar for June 25. The queen of alt-pop is throwing a secret listening party for her upcoming album Virgin , and you might be able to snag a spot on the exclusive guest list.
Triple j is giving away 100 double passes to this once-in-a-lifetime event at the Imperial Hotel in Eora/Sydney. That's right—100 winners will each bring a friend to experience the entire album in full, days before it’s released to the world. This is the ultimate brag for any Lorde devotee.

The night kicks off at 7:30pm sharp, where Virgin will play in its entirety. But the night doesn't stop there. Expect an all-out celebration featuring DJ sets from Abby & Tyrone and Lucy Smith, plus an electric performance by Drag Race Down Under star Etcetera Etcetera. It's shaping up to be more than just a listening party—it’s a full-blown cultural moment.
All you need to do to enter? First, follow @triplej on TikTok. Then, ace their five-question Lorde quiz, and share—using just 25 words—why you deserve to hear Virgin before anyone else. Entries close at 9am AEST on Thursday, June 19, so time is of the essence.
Now, let’s talk about Virgin . Slated for release on June 27, the album promises a raw, emotionally transparent look into Lorde’s world. With production from Jim-E Stack, Daniel Nigro, and a host of creative collaborators including Devonté Hynes and Fabiana Palladino, this record is set to be one of her most intimate and sonically cohesive yet. She describes the sound as “clear like bathwater, windows, ice, spit.” It’s spiritual, direct, and stripped of all pretense.
So whether you're already vibing with her latest single "What Was That," or you're still reliving the sun-drenched moments of Solar Power , this new era is something else entirely. Virgin isn’t just an album; it’s a self-reckoning, a shedding of layers, and Lorde inviting us all in for the reveal.
Mark your calendar. Follow the steps. Cross your fingers. And maybe—just maybe—you’ll be dancing under club lights to the sounds of Virgin before the rest of the world even hits play.
