Music News - Halsey Confirms First Ever Visit to New Zealand - Next Week!
27 July 2017 - 0 Comments
For Halsey fans, the long wait is finally over as she
confirms she will be coming to New Zealand first the very first time - next
week.
The GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum selling artist also confirms she
will play one, very exclusive showcase – an experience that money can’t buy.
Tickets are only available through the below media partners who will be
announcing ticket giveaway details over the next week.
Hailed by Billboard Magazine,Forbes and MTV as “the voice of her generation,” Halsey’s
rise to pop stardom has been something of a fairytale. It was just a couple of
years ago that Halsey was still Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, a New Jersey teen
who’d escaped her chaotic family life and suburban existence for New York,
writing poetry, and scrounging money for concerts and her next slice of pizza.
Halsey went from putting songs on SoundCloud to having her first full length
album, BADLANDS, certified platinum by the RIAA within one year of its
release, with five Gold singles and more than 2 billion streams. She went from
couch surfing to witnessing her first tour sell out in minutes to touring
globally with sold out dates on five continents (including a sold-out Madison
Square Garden performance) and performing for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in
Norway.
And that was just 2015. To give you a further taste of her meteoric rise, here’s a quick rundown of a few of the high points from Halsey’s year of 2016. Try not to get whiplash.
