- Lorde lights up Auckland stage in Palestinian colors, continuing her history of advocacy for Palestine.
New Zealand singer Lorde performed in her hometown tonight at Auckland’s Spark Arena, where parts of the show were illuminated in the colors of the Palestinian flag, green, white, and red.
Fans shared images and videos of the moment across social media, showing a Palestinian flag visible during the performance.
History of advocacy
This display continues a pattern of advocacy by Lorde. In 2017, she canceled a planned concert in 'Tel Aviv, Israel', after discussions with activists urging her to join a cultural boycott in solidarity with Palestinians.
More recently, at a concert in New York, Lorde reportedly shouted “Free Palestine” on stage, and the performance incorporated lighting in the Palestinian flag’s colors.
Fans at Spark Arena responded enthusiastically to the flag display, applauding and waving their own flags. The performance underscores how Lorde uses her platform to draw attention to global political issues, particularly the Palestinian cause.
