Lorde is coming to Hawke's Bay for the first time, to play a show at Black Barn Vineyards.
The Kiwi superstar will play New Zealand and Australian stages next year for the first time in five years, and the boutique Havelock North venue's addition to the schedule is set to be a major filip for the region.
It's one of nine shows around smaller and traditional venues and will be presented by Frontier Touring and Eccles Entertainment.
The Black Barn show is a near certain sell-out given Lorde's pop royalty status, and the venue's 1800-person capacity.
Black Barn manager Francis de Jager said over the last 20 years the Amphitheatre has had "the enviable reputation as one of the best outdoor venues in New Zealand".
