Marina and the Diamonds announces one-off intimate DIY Presents show

For a long time, it’s looked like Marina and the Diamonds would be making her live debut over on the other side of the world. Luckily for fans on this side of the Atlantic, that’s not strictly true. That’s right: Marina is going to be playing a show in the UK soon, and it’s going to be intimate. Like, properly teeny tiny.

Ahead of her visit over to the US for a slew of festivals – SXSW and Coachella just being a couple of them - she’ll be taking to the stage for a special DIY Presents show at Oslo in Hackney, London on 11th March.

“I’m equal parts nervous and excited because it really is my first show back!” she told DIY last week. “I’m just like, ‘Holy shit!’ The main thing is creating an atmosphere that’s really welcoming, both from the audience and me. It’s gonna be a trip! It’s gonna be really amazing to be in such a small space with so many hardcore fans.”
