Her debut album, Lights, was released in 2010, reaching the top of the album charts in the UK, also achieving notable success in Ireland, Australia and other international locations. Closer to home, regular gigs at the iTunes Festival, along with a range of shows at mid-sized venues have shown how engaging a performer Goulding can be. As headline artist, Ellie Goulding has embarked on the Lights tour and the Halcyon Days tour, which have taken her across the world, to venues such as Madison Square Garden, along with festivals such as Lollapalooza. Her more conventional concerts have included a performance at the prestigious Hollywood Bowl following a tour with Bruno Mars. Goulding's concert history includes performances for President Obama at the White House and at a private party for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge following their more formal wedding reception. Goulding's voice has afforded comparisons to artists such as Kate Nash and Adele, and collaborations with people such as Tinie Tempah have shown an almost unique versatility.
A key moment which helped cement her position was being selected to provide the music for the now traditional John Lewis Christmas advert, for which she recorded a cover version of Elton John's classic, Your Song. Bursting with hits and joined by special guests Years & Years, these shows will be a blockbuster display of showmanship and raw talent.New album Brightest Blue is available hereĮllie Goulding rose to prominence when she was named the top pick in the BBC's Sound of 2010 poll, which in previous years had helped to boost the likes of Adele, Jesse J and Corinne Bailey Rae.
