Marina and The Diamonds reveals UK and Ireland tour plans

She's been peddling her wares across the pond for a few months, and performed the odd European show - including an intimate London Oslo show - but until now there'd been no word of a tour.

When we spoke to her last year, Marina Diamandis spoke of her ambitious live plans:

"I want to create a cyber garden on stage... like an electric orchard with these huge orange trees. I've already got some grapevines that glow. I want the merch stalls to be like a market, so the T-shirts are in little crates, and have fruit punch available... it's a world I can't wait to get into and build. We're even thinking of having life-sized fruits on stage... but like disco ball versions.

"So we'd have this massive bunch of cherries but it's a working, turning disco ball. I want it to work anywhere, from somewhere that's five hundred capacity to somewhere that's five thousand."

FROOT is out now on Atlantic - and you know what? We loved it.

Tickets for the upcoming shows go on sale this Friday (10 July) at 9am. Details of European shows are to follow.
