WELSH pop singer Marina and The Diamonds has announced her first UK headline tour in support of her third album FROOT. The Neon Nature Tour kicks off in Cambridge in November with a date at the O2 Academy Bournemouth on November 21.

Tickets go on sale this Friday. Marina Diamandis launched her career in 2010 with Marina and The Diamonds and has had hits with Hollywood and I am not a Robot.

Her third album was released earlier this year and has now sold over 150,000 copies worldwide, was received with critical praise across the board on its release, taking its place firmly in the UK Top 10 and Stateside debuting at number four in the Billboard Top Albums Charts and number eight in the Billboard 200.

Since its release, Marina and The Diamonds has been non-stop, performing at Coachella Festival to a huge crowd on the main stage as well as huge TV performances on the likes of Good Morning America and Conan O’Brien. With its instant pop sensibilities, Marina and The Diamonds has kept everything about this album extremely DIY – from the writing and recording (Marina wrote the entire album herself) to its innovative release strategy, FROOT has firmly marked Marina and The Diamonds as an artist with longevity.
