Marina & The Diamonds announces UK live return

The show is set to be an intimate affair for dedicated fans, and will likely be the smallest venue she plays in a long, long while. It happens two days before her slot at SXSW.

Speaking to us in her first ever interview about the new era, Marina Diamandis said of her 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.

"The visuals are always a helpful way of expressing to people what stage you're at... I mean I haven't really been around for about two years - certainly not in the UK - and I guess it can be an indicator for people. I think it will always be important to me, but it might not be as big a tool for expression when it comes to FROOT as it was for Electra Heart, because of the way that record had been produced, and because I hadn't had a part in that. The visuals were my way of expressing what I wanted to say so I went to town with it."

FROOT is set to drop on 6 April via Atlantic.

Tickets for the new show will go on sale on 27 February - Friday - and will be priced at £16.50. You can grab them here.
