Ellie Goulding

Ellie Goulding is now a household name in both her UK homeland and the US thanks to the success of 'Lights'. Her live show is now a melange of cult favourites that propelled her to stardom such as 'Guns & Horses' with the commercial pop/production driven mega-hits such as 'Burn'.

Ellie tackles each track with the same form of intensity, from the opening reverberations of 'Don't Say A Word' she stands with determination centre-stage and delivers each note with proud intonation in that unique vocal style. 'Figure 8' is a highlighted moment as she forcefully beats her snare drum with aggressive force as the crowds cheer her on.

A tender cover of Active Child's 'Hanging On' chills the air in the venue as her pained vocal hits every single note on point. She winds down her main set with a plethora of hits which now include 'Anything Could Happen', 'Starry Eyed' and 'I Need Your Love', her collaboration with Calvin Harris.

'Lights' makes for a dramatic encore as from the intro the audience cheer and dance as Ellie launches into an extended version as the track breaks down into a piece of house/dance. It's no secret that Ellie's musical style has changed since breaking the States, yet her credibility and intent as a musician remains solid.

I'm finding it so hard to find words that perfectly describe last night's #deliriumworldtour concert. It was wonderfully balanced with a range of Ellie's more upbeat, EDM tracks and also her lighter, more relaxed numbers (including a handful of beautiful acoustic sounds). With the odd spot of conversation between songs proved how human and raw Ellie actually is (unlike some singers who do nothing to interact with their audience) and it really added to the intensity and uniqueness of the performance. The atmosphere created was very tense and enjoyable; it felt both exhilarating and relaxed depending on the song and mood. As an audience, I could see that everyone had really connected with the performance and performers-whenever Ellie was speaking, everyone was silent, listening intently to her. That bond that we had with her and the band was very special and singular. I could go on and on but I'll just end by saying by far, this is the best concert from Ellie that I have ever experienced. I really wish I could relive it again and again!

Ellie Goulding is one of the most talented, biggest artists to emerge from England these past few years. She has one of the most authentically and uniquely beautiful voices I have ever heard live, a rare gift for many famous singers these days, most of who are heavily manufactured. Better yet, because she writes her own songs, you can actually feel genuine emotion in her voice when she sings and it is clear that her songs have meaning. Indeed, Ellie performed a range of songs including some of her earlier tracks that are less well known, and it was these more obscure songs that often felt the most emotive and real. Nonetheless, hits such as ‘Burn’, ‘Anything Could Happen’, ‘I Need Your Love’ and ‘Lights’ were still all great to listen to and the crowd reaction for each was fantastic, creating a great party atmosphere as the crowd danced and sang along. ‘How Long Will You Love Me’ was a nice acoustic break and was performed beautifully, as was Fifty Shades of Grey hit ‘Love Me Like You Do’, which caused mass swaying.

Amazing...! Ellie was in fine form. Singing was bang on, dancing was in her own usual "don't give a f**k" style. Her dance team managed pauses for costume changes well and it didn't feel intrusive, as it sometimes can. Her set ranged from much loved classics such as burn, right through to an acoustic version of Devotion from her new album (which was far superior to the more "dance" oriented album version) and everything in between.

John Newman was the main support act, but felt a little out of sorts. Years and Years are supporting the US leg of the tour and I feel they would have been a better choice to support in Europe as well.

I am used to watching Ellie Goulding in small intimate gigs which are very personal and usually key to hearing her raspy and elegant tones. Slightly neverous if the O2 areana wouldn't give her the credit she deserved, I was completely blown away how amazingly she filled the whole stadium with sound while still having intimate moments on the slower Ballards. The intros/outfit change videos were perfectly edited and incredibly creative! Always been a fan but massive respect for this (super) woman now just proving how she can rock and fill any stadium. One of the best gigs I've seen at the 02 to date!

I saw Ellie Goulding back in 2011 at the House of Blues in Boston and it was one of the best shows I have ever been too. It was right before the the record Lights blew up stateside and you just knew she had what it takes to be big time.

Bag raiders were the opening act and it helped set the tone for an energetic and really fun evening. Ellie's voice is incredible live and the performances were so upbeat and energetic.

If you are looking for an incredibly talented singer but still want to move your groove, I would recommend seeing Ellie Goulding.

What an amazing experience! The production value was super high, opening with an ethereal video until Ellie Goulding herself appeared on the stage in smoke and color. If you like her music, you'll be blown away seeing her live. She's an even better vocalist than her albums suggest. She's also a great performer in general, even if she gets nervous talking to the audience. It was great to hear the stories behind the songs. The whole thing was just the greatest dance party. I'm still finding confetti from it weeks later!

The show was amazing! Including the opening by Bebe Rexha and Years & Years Ellie has an amazing voice. Too bad some people were inconsiderate, drunk, smoking weed and kept interrupting me and my friends from having fun. I got beer spilled on my foot, a pretty hard hit on the head and smoke all over me. I was being pushed and hit repeatedly the entire night by these people. I mean I would have expected this at the club. But at an Ellie Goulding Concert? I'm never going to the pit again. I just wanted to see Ellie.

The concert was amazing. Years and Years had opened up for Ellie, along with Bebe Rexha and it was well worth the wait. I would pay even more to go again. The GA pits were wonderful and I had a nice view the entire time, the ticket prices were also extremely well priced. Ellie Goulding is a amazing performer and there was not a dull moment in the show. I plan to attend many many more Ellie Goulding concerts thanks to Songkick.

I can't believe I could see Ellie Goulding with my eyes in front of me in that stage. It was a dream become true. Moreover, I loved the performances from John Newman and Olly Alexander. I hope many people being homeless have the opportunity to have a happy Christmas and someone who spend it with them. Ellie, I love ur voice and the talent u have to convey ur feelings to people. I hope I can see u again soon.
