Marina & The Diamonds

Alt-pop sorts Marina And The Diamonds, aka crown jewel Marina Diamandis and co, have announced an eight date outing in live aid of new album ‘Electra Heart’, which is released on 30 Apr.

Singer-songwriter Marina has various things to say of her new record, one being this: “It’s an ode to dysfunctional love. I based the project around character types commonly found in love stories, film and theatre, usually ones associated with power and control in love, as opposed to weakness or defeat. I guess it was a way of dealing with the embarrassment that, for the first time in my life, I got ‘played’. Rejection is a universally embarrassing topic and ‘Electra Heart’ is my response to that. It is a frank album”.

The band will release new single ‘Primadonna’ on 16 Apr, with the next natural progressions being said tour and an appearance at the Live At Leeds festival on 5 May.

Dates as follows:

4 May: Manchester, Cathedral
7 May: Edinburgh, Queens Hall
8 May: Glasgow, ABC
10 May: Leamington, Assembly Hall
11 May: Birmingham, Institute
12 May: Sheffield, Leadmill
14 May: Norwich, Waterfront
