15 September 2016 - 0 Comments
Frontier Touring is thrilled to be bringing global phenomenon Ellie Goulding and
her Delirium
World Tour to New Zealand this September and October for her
biggest shows to date! And just added to the Auckland and Christchurch shows is
Auckland power pop four piece Openside.
With just two weeks to go before the Delirium Word Tour kicks off down under,
these shows are close to selling out!
Openside have had a bumper year so far, opening for Twenty One Pilots
and Melanie
Martinez as well as selling out their own headline shows. Their
single Letting It Outreached #1 on the NZ Spotify viral charts, and on September 16, they will unleash
their debut EP Push Back.
Openside are fast becoming known for their spiky pop punk live shows so get
there early and check them out before they hit the big time!
The Delirium World Tour is only two weeks away from hitting our shores and
promises to bring Ellie’s most exhilarating performances to date. Bursting with
hits, these shows will be a blockbuster display of showmanship and raw talent.
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. Ellie then 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.
Only 2 weeks ago she released the electrifying Still Falling
For You from The Bridget Jones’ Baby soundtrack.
Limited tickets for both shows are on sale now. Catch Ellie Goulding and
Openside live in Christchurch and Auckland at her biggest New Zealand concerts
to date.
