Hot off the heels of Leonas first ever concert performance at Londons Hackney Empire, Britains most successful female musical export today announces a 10-date arena tour next summer.
Speaking about touring Leona said: I cant wait to get out on tour and see everyone, Im really looking forward to putting on a great show. I had such a fun night at my recent show at the Hackney Empire and its given me a real taste for it. Over the last few years Ive had some amazing experiences and sung in some really interesting places but its going to be great to be able to perform all my own material on my very own tour. Its a dream come true.
Earlier this monthLeona gave fans an exclusive glimpse of what they might expect next summer when she performed at a special fan-only concert at the Hackney Empire and they were not disappointed! Neither were the press; The Sun reported, A sterling debut from a blistering Brit talent. Bring on the arenas. The Daily Mail wrote, Leona hit all the right notes, as a taster for a full UK tour, it was a triumph, and The Independent commented, Within moments shes captivated the crowd with that killer falsetto its Leonas endearing ascent to fame thats made her one of the biggest-selling artists around the globe.
Next years arena tour promises to be mega! As well as the biggest and most breathtaking voice in music, concertgoers can expect stunning state of the art staging and visual effects as well as choreography and an incredible live band. Leona will play songs from her smash hit debut album Spirit (such as Bleeding Love, Better In Time and Run) as well as tracks from her forthcoming new studio album Echo, including the brand new single Happy which got its UK TV debut on last weekends X Factor and achieved record viewing figures.
No stranger to performing live, Leona has given countless performances around the world at some of the most prestigious events on the planet, including Nelson Mandelas 90th Birthday Concert at Hyde Park and representing Great Britain last year at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics alongside Jimmy Paige and David Beckham. To date though, Leona is yet to tour live, which will make this tour another landmark occasion for the East London girl who leapt to fame in 2006 and has not looked back since.
Leona releases her brand new album Echo on November 16th. It is the highly anticipated follow-up to Leonas 2007debut album Spirit, which took the world by storm, selling over six million copies globally. Along the way Leona earned herself countless award nominations and became the UKs biggest selling debut artist of 2007 and 2008. Echo promises big emotions, sweeping and widescreen melodies and spine tingling vocals. The album sees Leona teaming up with A-list writers and producers John Shanks, Max Martin and Ryan Tedder.

Saw Leona in Birmingham on the 8th June. Took 3 adult family members with me (all supposedly not as ardent fans as I am only to find out all 3 had been reduced to tears at some point!) and we were all totally blown away by this woman. Class, beauty and talent. My God, her voice is just indescribable, countless goosebump moments. For me, Leona is the biggest star in the world... by a country mile.
