Ellie Goulding announces her biggest solo Irish show yet

English folktronica singer Ellie Goulding has announced a brand new date at the Olympa Theatre this coming Spring, May 31 to be exact, with tickets going on sale this Friday April 1, priced at €28. The show will be Goulding's biggest headline gig to date here and follows a whirlwind year in which she garnered a Number 1 album, attempted to follow Florence in cracking America and almost stole the Christmas top spot from Matt Cardle. It's the Hereford-born singer's first gigs here since her Other Voices slot in November.

Goulding recently decamped to Ireland to start the writing process for her second album and the Olympia date will surely be an opportunity to hear some new material.
