Marina And The Diamonds has added a second Dublin date at The Academy this December. The singer released her latest album FROOT earlier this year and following "phenomenal demand" from fans in response to her upcoming show at The Academy on Wednesday December 2nd, she had now announced a second Dublin date on Thursday December 3rd. Marina has said that FROOT signals a newfound contentment in her life and has definitely left her Electra Heart alter-ego behind. “It was almost like I had been burdened by something my whole life and then suddenly that went away...I can't even describe how amazing it is... you suddenly realise why people are happy and why people enjoy things. I think I used to believe that being depressed was part of my personality or that I was born like that, but it's quite shocking to realise that perhaps that isn't the case...” “Maybe I was ready to change. Maybe I was ready to leave a lot of things I'd held onto in the past behind. I don't know if that happens to other people when they hit a certain age or maybe some people don't even have those issues to begin with. Perhaps it's not very common, but I know that it was important for my future.” Tickets priced at €27.90 are on sale now.
