George Ezra today continues his phenomenal ascent with the announcement of his first ever headline arena tour. The tour takes in 10 arena shows across the U.K. beginning at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on 7th March and coming to Liverpool on March. Tickets for the shows are on sale now.

The announcement comes fresh from George headlining the Boardmasters Festival and ahead of his long since sold out autumn 2018 U.K. tour this November. His acclaimed number 1 album Staying At Tamara’s is officially the biggest selling album released so far this year and remains in the top five of the Official Albums Chart 20 weeks after release, whilst his current single Shotgun became his first ever number 1 single in June.

Staying At Tamara’s is George’s second U.K. Number 1 album, hitting the summit in March with the biggest album week one sales of the year so far. Staying At Tamara’s also features lead single Paradise, which peaked at Number 2 in the U.K. singles chart and has now been certified Platinum, and Hold My Girl, Pretty Shining People, Saviour, and Don’t Matter Now. The album is available in digital, C.D., cassette and vinyl formats, and arrived nearly four years after the release of his multi-platinum and also-chart topping debut album Wanted On Voyage.

Not content with hitting the summit of the album and singles charts, George is also a chart-topping podcaster, with his series George Ezra & Friends shooting straight to number 1 on the iTunes Podcast Chart on launch and being nominated for numerous awards. George Ezra & Friends is a unique podcast series in which he spends an extended period of time with a musician friend in an often intimate, funny and revealing one-to-one conversation. Series 1 recently wrapped up with a no holds barred chat with one of music’s all-time legends, Elton John, which followed previous episodes with Ed Sheeran, Lily Allen, Sam Smith, Craig David, Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, London Grammar’s Hannah Reid and many more.

Tickets for the Echo Arena Performance are on sale now from the Arena Box office.
