Ellie Goulding is coming our way with the announcement of her first ever show in New Zealand at The Studio in Auckland on Friday October 26th.

Ellie arrives with perfect timing; her highly anticipated second album Halcyon is set for release on October 12, giving fans just the right amount of time to learn her new songs off by heart.

Having firmly established herself as one of this generation's most exciting songwriters, Ellie Goulding is set to make her debut New Zealand appearance a special event. One that fans of Ellie, and of first class pop music in general, would be remiss to let pass them by.

UK based Ellie Goulding first rose to prominence in 2010 when she topped the BBC Sound of 2010 poll and won the Brit Awards Critics Choice Award, becoming only the second artist (after Adele in 2008) to scoop both these awards in the same year. 

Goulding’s debut album Lights went straight to #1 in the UK and garnered the hit singles ‘Starry Eyed’, ‘Under The Sheets’, and ‘Guns and Horses’. Since the album’s release in 2010 it has slowly but surely spread it’s magic around the world.

The album’s title-track ‘Lights’ was released in the US in March 2011 and in recent weeks has completed a staggering record-breaking climb. Now, 18 months later, and during its thirty third week on the chart, the song reached a peak position of Number 2 in the Billboard Hot 100, whilst the album has gone double-platinum. The single currently sits at #3 in the USA and was recently certified gold in New Zealand.

The first single from her upcoming album Halcyon, 'Anything Could Happen', is out now and has been tearing up the airwaves all across the nation.
