Ellie Goulding has rescheduled her upcoming UK and Ireland tour dates to October 2021.

The singer had been set to embark on a series of live dates from April 28 until May 12 in support of her July-released album ‘Brightest Blue’. 

Those gigs have now been pushed back to October, with the coronavirus-enforced shutdown of live music not expected to end in the UK until May at the very earliest.


New dates: 
October 2021
5 – Olympia Theatre, Dublin
7 – O2 Academy Glasgow, Glasgow
9 – O2 Academy Newcastle, Newcastle Upon Tyne
11 – O2 Apollo, Manchester
13 – O2 Academy Birmingham, Birmingham
15 – O2 Academy Bournemouth, Bournemouth
17 – Eventim Apollo, London

 

Speaking about her pregnancy with Vogue this week, Ellie said that she was “excited to be a mother — but also I want to make sure that I continue to work”.
“I can’t wait to go back on tour,” she added. “I’ve been in the studio most days, [and] I’m excited for the challenge. It will be a totally new experience.”
Goulding announced her debut book Fitter. Calmer. Stronger., which will be published later this year.

They're trying to get 10,000 people in stadiums by June... for the London gig for instance the max capacity is 5,039 which is just over half fo what stadiums want in June.

These venues are actually quite small around 2 - 4k capacity.

Plus the UK is hoping to have no restrictions by late June.
