Ida Maria sets out to tour the UK in May

Ida maria portrait First the good news - foxy mad-as-a-spoon Norwegian songstress Ida Maria is touring the UK in May and June! Hurrah!

Now the bad news - she’s not performing anywhere near enough for me to go see her play, so you’ll have to excuse me while I indulge in a proper good sulk. Still, the new single “Queen Of the World” comes out on 12 May, and I’ll be reviewing that right here at The Dreaded Press.

Maybe your locational luck will be better than mine, though. Ida Maria will play the following venues:

9 May - Brick Yard, Carlisle
10 May – Empire, Middlesbrough
11 May – The Tunnels, Aberdeen
19 May - Cockpit, Leeds
20 May - Jericho Tavern, Oxford
21 May – Kings College, London
27 May - Glee Club, Birmingham
29 May - The Foundry (Uni), Sheffield
31 May - Academy 3, Manchester
1 June - King Tuts, Glasgow
2 June – Cluny, Newcastle

Sometimes its as if the South coast doesn’t exist, I tell you. So rest assured that if you manage to catch Ida Maria at one of those shows, you’ll not only have a fine evening but my eternal jealousy. Yeah, I can tell you’re bothered.

Still, it gives me an excuse to post another video, though. Here’s the official video for Ida Maria’s “Oh My God”:
