“THE LIGHTS TOUR” BEGINS JULY 23 IN ATLANTA
Cherrytree/Interscope recording artist Ellie Goulding returns stateside this summer for her second
headline tour in support of her critically acclaimed solo debut Lights. Aptly named, “THE LIGHTS
TOUR” begins July 23 in Atlanta and wraps in late August. “I am really excited about the next tour,”
says Ellie. “This time we are ready; we are better prepared. Every city brought something new and
I learned a lot playing to different crowds. It is a learning curve. America get ready -- we're coming
and it's going to be huge!”
Having already conquered her native Britain with the best selling debut album of 2010,
singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding has won over the US audience garnering rave reviews. Lights is,
as the New York Times put it, “a happy car crash of signifiers: part electro-pop, part soul, part blues,
part indie rock, part folk” that mixes heartfelt emotion with other-worldly atmospherics and the Los
Angeles Times raves, “plenty of ethereal hooks, the album carries a dark overcast with a handful of
emotionally raw tracks.” Rolling Stone calls Lights, “sweet, sexed-up folktronica” and
Entertainment Weekly affirms “anthemic dance-pop confessional.”
This spring, Ellie made headlines when she was personally asked by William and Kate to play at the
royal wedding. May followed with performances on Saturday Night Live and Live With Regis and Kelly.
