During last night's (28 June) show at London's Alexandra Palace, Lorde brought out support act Marlon Williams to perform the Māori version of "Stoned at the Nail Salon".

After being joined by Clairo and Arlo Parks for the original version of Solar Power's "Stoned at the Nail Salon" at Glastonbury 2022 on Sunday (26 June), Lorde welcomed fellow New Zealander Marlon Williams, who opened for Lorde at her Roundhouse shows earlier this month as well as last night's Alexandra Palace show, to join her for a performance of "Stoned at the Nail Salon" in Māori.

The Māori version of "Stoned at the Nail Salon" ("Mata Kohore") originally appeared on Lorde's Te Ao Mārama EP that landed in September last year.

Back in April 2021, Lorde surprised Marlon Williams fans at his Auckland show to play a cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Tougher Than the Rest".

At Glastonbury 2022, Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers, Olivia Rodrigo, Kendrick Lamar, Megan Thee Stallion and more spoke out during their sets about the Supreme Court's decision to reverse Roe v. Wade.
