PALOMA FAITH STEPS OUTSIDE WITH HER NO.1 ALBUM ‘THE ARCHITECT’ AT STADIWM ZIP WORLD, COLWYN BAY Orchard Entertainment bring BRIT Award winner Paloma Faith and her stunning live show to the Stadiwm Zip World, Colwyn Bay on Saturday the 14th of July 2018 as part of her UK summer tour. Tickets go on general sale from Friday the 2nd of February at 9am through Ticketmaster.co.uk; in person from Venue Cymru; or by calling the Venue Cymru Box Office on 01492 872000. With her acclaimed Number 1 album ‘The Architect’ riding high in the charts and a BRIT nomination for Best British Female, Paloma Faith has announced a must-see 20 date UK summer tour. So far ‘The Architect’ has spent eight weeks in the Top 10, propelled by the poptastic single ‘Crybaby’, the stunning ‘Guilty’ and latest single ‘Till I’m Done’. The new album has already gone Gold in the UK and she is only one of two British female artists this decade to have their first three albums go double platinum in the UK! Equally at home onstage and in the studio, these shows will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of the summer season. Her latest release ‘The Architect’ became her first UK #1, cutting Taylor Swift’s reign short. The new album – her first in more than three years and since giving birth to her first child – features an array of acclaimed co-writers, producers and collaborators including: Sia, John Legend, Rag'n'Bone Man and actor Samuel L. Jackson. ‘The Architect’ follows the huge success of Paloma’s last album, ‘A Perfect Contradiction’, which spent 29 weeks in the Top 10 Albums chart, 66 weeks in the Top 40, and 100 weeks in the Top 200. The epic lead single from the record, ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’, is Paloma’s biggest-seller to date, with over half a million copies sold and 55 million streams on Spotify. This resulted in Paloma winning the BRIT Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2015. The July 14 concert is the first in the newly named Stadiwm Zip World, and promoted by two-time UK Regional Promoter of the Year, Orchard Entertainment, who have brought an array of stars to Colwyn Bay over the past seven years. Orchard director Pablo Janczur said: “We’ve set a precedent for big name artists in the stadium over the years, so we’re delighted we’ve been able to attract another high calibre performer for 2018. Paloma is one of the country’s highest profile artists at the moment, appealing to a broad fan base. It’ll be another cracker!” The concert is supported by Conwy County Borough Council and Bay of Colwyn Town Council. Media partners are Heart FM. Cllr Louise Emery is the Cabinet Member for Economic Development and said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming Paloma Faith to Colwyn Bay. “Events in Conwy County have proved to be vital to the area’s economy, and the annual concerts at Stadiwm Zip World at Parc Eirias are an example of that. The investment that has gone into the area in recent years has helped Conwy become one of the most thriving events and visitor locations in the UK.” Further artists on the bill will be announced in due course.
