All the action from the hotly anticipated Dublin show
Read More She was the indie pin-up of the moment. But when Marina & The Diamonds' debut album failed to become a mega hit her confidnece was badly knocked. It didn't help that, at that very moment, a game-playing lover was breaking her heart. In an exclusive interview Marina talks about rebuilding her self-belief by borrowing from Britney Spears, her decision to go blonde, and then brunette again, and why she doesn't care about the backlash against her chart-friendly new sound.

Read More The Dingle showcase will also feature Lisa O'Neill and Sacred Animals
Read More Maybe it was the time of year, the inspiring music or the hours spent in a tiny church in the tranquil setting of Dingle, but the Other Voices festival seemed to bring out the philosopher in all its performers. Roe McDermott caught up with Marina and the Diamonds, Ellie Goulding and ASIWYFA as they talked about the highs and lows of 2010.
Read More Updates from day four of the Dingle-based festival, with four fantastic Irish acts and a surprise special guest to close the night
Read More Ms Diamandis' growing popularity is evident in the mass singalongs that continue unabated throughout the evening
Read More I can't say I'm overly happy to watch Maria Diamandis morph slowly into Katy Perry but the hugely poppy 'Oh No!' is, at the very least, an irresistible step in the wrong direction - not least because the accompanying music video ironically echoes Marina's idea that "Real life has no appeal". Best of all, the Welsh lass has resisted the vocoder monster for another four minutes. Maz, you’ve got another candy-coloured hit on your hands.
Read More Just when you think it couldn't get any weirder than N-Dubz covering The Script on the Beeb's Live Lounge, Marina Diamandis is making over crunkcore kids 3Oh!3 with a lick of string quartet. The original 'Starstrukk' (should the spelling be insufficient warning) was a sleazy tale of power perving delivered at breakneck speed by the 3Oh!3 fellas and annoying cohort Katy Perry. While Ms. Diamandis' baritone can be just as grating, the feisty 24-year-old has got it really right on this one, transforming the tune into a gut-wrenching ballad with a flash of Kate Bush genius sorely missing from debut album The Family Jewels. Who'd have thunk the words "Tight jeans, Double D's, makes the man go whoo! whoo!" could be so heartbreaking?

She is the brightest pop star of the moment. But Marina Diamandis – who records as Marina and the Diamonds – doesn’t want to be a blink-and-she’s-gone starlet. As her debut album is released she tells Paul Nolan why she’s in it for the long haul, why celebrity culture has spun out of control and why she’s putting romance on hold to build her career.
Read More In the issue of Hot Press that hits shops today (Thursday February 25), pop sensation Marina Diamandis admits it's hard talking about herself, adding "it’s not all fun and games, but as long as it’s in moderation I don’t mind doing it.”
Read More You'll be able to get a live earful of their The Family Jewels album in Belfast & Dublin.
