NEWS: MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS TAKE ON THE WORLD WITH “NEON NATURE TOUR”
Neon Gold/Elektra recording artist Marina And The Diamonds has unveiled the next leg of her acclaimed “Neon Nature Tour.” The wide-ranging world schedule includes North American headline dates set to get underway October 12th at Houston, TX’s House of Blues and then continue through a much-anticipated show at New York City’s Terminal 5 on November 9th (see attached itinerary). Fan presale ticketing begins Wednesday, June 24th; credit card presales follow on Thursday, June 25th; all remaining tickets will then be released to the general public on Friday, June 26th. For complete details and ticket information, please visit www.marinaandthediamonds.com/live.htm.
This year, Marina has already rocked an array of U.S. headline dates and festival appearances including Indio, CA’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Boston’s Boston Calling Music Festival, Columbia, MD’s Sweetlife, Toronto’s Field Trip, and New York City’s Governors Ball NYC Music Festival. The latter performance drew rave reviews from such high profile outlets as Rolling Stone, which declared Marina’s set to be the festival’s “Best Sing-Along” and one of “The 25 Best Things We Saw At Governors Ball 2015.” “Few performers all weekend had crowds dancing as furiously as Marina Diamandis, working a daring lavender catsuit and a now-signature ’FROOT’-scripted headpiece,” declared SPIN in their “Governors Ball 2015: The 15 Best Things We Saw” wrap-up. “The Welsh star did more to prove her headlining worth than many of the weekend’s actual headliners. Take note organizers: Marina is the future we don’t deserve.”
A further slate of international festival performances are scheduled through the summer, including Denmark’s Nibe Festival (July 2nd), Scotland’s T In The Park (July 11th), Locarno, Switzerland’s Moon & Stars ’15 (July 16th), Montreal’s Osheaga Festival Musique et Arts (July 31st), Chicago’s Lollapalooza (August 2nd), and Budapest, Hungary’s Sziget: Island of Freedom (August 14th).
Meanwhile, Marina And The Diamonds’ extraordinary new album, “FROOT,” continues to draw acclaim. Currently starring on the cover of NYLON’s annual music issue with a bold new look, the magazine declares “Froot” as “the sound of feminism,” while Entertainment Weekly also recently named the collection among their “12 Best Albums of 2015 (So Far),” naming it the year’s “Best-Kept Pop Secret” while praising Diamandis for “(building) her best Trojan horse yet: an irresistible collection of spangly pop gems packed with smart-girl poetry.”
“FROOT” made a stunning a top 10 debut on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 upon its March 2015 release – Marina’s highest chart placement and top overall sales week to date.
