The Pure Heroine Tour was the inaugural concert tour by New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, in support of her debut studio album, Pure Heroine (2013). Her first performance was at the Splendour in the Grass music festival as a last-minute replacement for Frank Ocean. Before the tour, Lorde performed at small nightclubs and bars around New Zealand and Australia. North American shows were announced in August 2013, followed by a series of dates in Oceania. Dates in Europe and South America soon followed.
The show consisted of three segments and three costume changes. With the exception of a couple of covers, the set list included only songs from her debut album. Typically, Lorde appeared on stage hidden from the crowd, visible only in silhouette. She also premiered an unreleased song called "Good Fights". An alternate set list with minor changes was performed after the first North American leg of the tour. The show was met with critical acclaim, with critics complimenting the singer's vocal clarity and stage presence, as well as the minimalist stage setting.
