Lorde announced on March 18, 2026, that she is now an independent artist after her long-term contract with Universal Music Group concluded at the end of last year. The deal, which began when she was 12 years old, covered her first four albums. She described the move as providing a 'clean slate' while expressing fondness for her former label.
The Form Festival will return to Arcosanti, Arizona, from October 9 to 11, 2026, featuring a diverse lineup led by Lorde, Geese, and Turnstile. Other performers include Adrianne Lenker, Blood Orange, Kamasi Washington, and Disclosure. Electronic artists Christopher Willits and Tycho are set for extended ambient sets on the Envelop Stage.
