This year’s matchless ‘One to Watch’, Anne-Marie, has today announced a UK and Ireland headline tour, which takes place in November/December 2016. The run of dates kick off in Glasgow on Sunday 20th November and the tour will include a date at London’s KOKO on 28th November. A limited fan pre-sale commences tomorrow from 9am – sign up at http://iamannemarie.com/tour to access the presale tickets before anyone else. General onsale commences this Friday at 9am from http://gigst.rs/AnneMarie Anne-Marie has been paving the way to pop glory over recent months with her new single ‘Alarm’ (listen here). The track, which is currently sitting in Spotify’s Global Top 100 /UK Top 50 and #3 in their ‘Hot Hits UK’ chart, has amounted over 17 million streams worldwide to date, and is enjoying heavy rotation on Radio 1’s B List, Radio 1 Xtra’s A List, with additional Kiss Fresh/Capital Xtra support. After being named MTV’s ‘International Push Artist of the Month’ for July, the Essex-born starlet recently unveiled her stunning, official video for ‘Alarm’, which pays homage to Baz Luhrmann’s cult classic Romeo & Juliet; the video has received over 2 million hits already and you can watch it here. Today, Anne-Marie will be performing a special version of ‘Alarm’ in Radio 1’s Live Lounge.
The three-time world Shotokan-style karate champion, who was crowned the winner of MTV’s Brand New for 2016 in January with their biggest-ever votes, has been busy in the studio working on her debut album over recent months. Taking on the likes of Steve Mac, Fraser T. Smith, Digital Farm Animals, Two Inch Punch and of course Rudimental (to name a few) for production duties, you can expect Anne-Marie to dominate the charts in 2016 with her ballsy, crowd-pleasing, chart-ready gems. Last year, the starlet unveiled her debut EP ‘Karate’, catapulting her name through the blogs as one to watch with her infectious and personality-led tracks ‘Karate’, ‘Gemini’ and the straight-up attitudinal ‘Boy’ (official video).
The UK tour announcement follows Anne-Marie’s two previous triumphant, sold-out London headline shows at London’s Oslo (October 2015) and Village Underground (Feb 2016).
