Music News - Ellie Goulding bringing the 'Delirium World Tour' to New Zealand
18 February 2016 - 0 Comments
Frontier Touring is thrilled to confirm that global phenomenon Ellie Goulding will bring the Delirium World Tour to Australia and New Zealand this September
and October for her biggest shows to date! Joined by very special guests Years & Years, Ellie is set to electrify arenas in Christchurch, Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney,
Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.
Celebrated as a force to be reckoned with for her first two albums Lights and Halcyon,
Ellie Goulding firmly cemented herself as a superstar with the release of third
studio album Delirium (Universal Music) in November last year. An expansive and dazzling collection
of genre-defying bangers, Delirium scored immediate acclaim and climbed the top ten in no less than 14 different
countries.
Delirium’s first offering was the Grammy-nominated chartbuster Love Me Like You Do that swiftly
broke the world record for most streamed song in one week, skyrocketing to #1
in 80 countries including both Australia and New Zealand where it was certified
double and triple platinum respectively. The next cut from Delirium was On My Mind, a swagger-charged anthem
that reasserts Ellie as one of music’s most surprising and confident
performers. Last month Ellie served the one-two punch of Army and Something
In The Way You Move, the former a sweeping ode to authentic friendship and the
latter an irresistible thumper - both tracks have critics applauding Delirium as her finest album to date.
‘Delirium goes
straight for the pop jugular, unleashing a relentless barrage of bangers that
almost always hit the spot’ - ★★★★ The Guardian
‘Delirium grounds
Ellie Goulding’s penchant for spectacle in tightly-written pop songs. Her
evocative storytelling and ability to craft great dance music is all here…
making a mature pop record that feels like a natural progression’ - Pitchfork
Alongside solo chart scorchers Anything Could Happen and Burn, Ellie recently teamed with
Major Lazer on the reggae-tinged smash Powerful and collaborated with
Calvin Harris on the multi-platinum selling singles I Need Your Love and Outside.
In addition to an outstanding Grammys performance this week, the Brit Award
winning singer-songwriter collected high praise for appearances at Coachella,
Lollapalooza, and Glastonbury and an intimate, one-off show she performed at
Sydney’s Enmore Theatre in October of last year.
‘Last night’s
show proved that Ellie Goulding is a sheer pop powerhouse and it will be a show
that I’m sure will be talked about by fans for quite some time.’ – Renowned For
Sound
‘Goulding gave
everything she had in the last 20 minutes of her show, bringing the house down
with her hits You My Everything, Love Me Like You Do and Burn and finally
calling it an end with her new banger On My Mind... She ended things in style
and did not disappoint.’ – Project U
Ellie’s special guests will include UK electronic virtuosos Years & Years
who have quickly impressed with darkly romantic debut album Communion (out now through Universal Music). An intricate balance of mediative lyrics and
undeniable hooks, Communion references house, r&b and electropop and has seen the trio win the BBC
Sound of 2015 poll and a Critics Choice nomination in the 2015 Brit Awards.
Gold charting single in NZ King has gone platinum in seven
countries with Billboard calling it “destined to be played at arenas for years
to come.” Synth-soaked follow-up single Shine achieved Gold certification in
their UK homeland where it also soared to #2 on the Singles Chart. As well as
appearances at Radio 1's Big Weekend, Wireless Festival, T in the Park and
Latitude Festival, the guys set Melbourne and Sydney stages ablaze when they
performed Splendour In The Grass sideshows in July of last year.
‘His voice is
actually insane — hearing that breathy falsetto live is something else… It was
such a fun set; these guys are honestly the most captivating performers — and
boy do they know how to bring the party.’ – Music Feeds
Having thrilled Australian and New Zealand audiences time and time again, Ellie
Goulding’s arena Delirium World Tour promises her most exhilarating
performances to date. Bursting with hits and joined by special guests Years
& Years, these shows will be a blockbuster display of showmanship and raw
talent.
