General ticket pre-sales for the tour begin at 09:00 on Thursday, April 6 via: elliegoulding.lnk.to/HTHtour. Details of a very special pre-sale for fans can be found at the official Ellie Goulding store: elliegoulding.lnk.to/store Last month, fans got an exclusive taste of the new album when Ellie returned to the stage for two sold-out concerts at London's iconic KOKO venue in Camden. She wowed the audience with her past hits as well as recent singles and some exclusive new songs from the upcoming album. The Evening Standard praised the show as "a glorious performance" and awarded it five stars. Ellie Goulding's highly anticipated fifth studio album, "Higher Than Heaven," will be released April 7 and follows current single "By the End of the Night" as well as "Miracle" - her recent collaboration with Calvin Harris, which reached No. 2 on the official U.K. charts and continues to go from strength to strength. "Higher Than Heaven" is available for pre-order here: http://elliegoulding.lnk.to/hth With Greg Kurstin (Sia, Maggie Rogers, Elton John), Jessie Shatkin (Charli XCX, Years & Years), Koz (Sam Ryder, Madonna, Dua Lipa) and Andrew Wells (Halsey, Yungblud), Ellie was able to secure some of pop music's most notable producers for the album. The finished record exemplifies how Ellie puts her own spin on modern pop music. "Higher Than Heaven" contains rousing hits that center on Ellie's distinctive voice, while the production is pop music at its best, featuring pounding basslines, soaring synthesizers and euphoric melodies. Ellie Goulding's track record speaks for itself: 10 platinum singles, three number one albums, two BRIT Awards, a GRAMMY nomination and a Golden Globe nomination.
