MUSIC: Sigala show for The Academy

DANCE master Sigala has announced a major new UK and Ireland live tour for February 2017 that will include Dublin’s The Academy on Thursday 23.

The announcement of his 2017 shows follows Sigala’s sold out debut live tour in September that saw him visit London, Manchester, and Glasgow. These gigs followed an incredible festival season that saw him perform at V festival, Creamfields, Fusion, Sundown, and others. 

Sigala now has four major hits under his belt (including a number 1, two top fives, and a top 10), and in just over 12 months he’s sold in excess of three million singles worldwide – a phenomenal achievement for a young British talent. His last single, ‘Give Me Your Love’, featuring John Newman and Nile Rodgers, has also taken his digital streaming figures tally to over 300 million, making him one of the most successful dance producers of the decade.

His debut single ‘Easy Love’ debuted at number one, broke Ministry of Sound’s pre-order record, and is now certified Platinum. Sigala’s follow-up, ‘Sweet Lovin’, was only denied a number one spot by two Justin Bieber singles, stayed in the UK Top 20 for 12 weeks and has now gone Platinum too. Single three, ‘Say You Do’, debuted at number five and saw him increase his total UK radio plays to over 150,000; that single has now gone Silver, as has ‘Give Me Your Love’. Sigala’s recent collaboration with Craig David, ‘Ain’t Giving Up’ ensured that his name was once again on UK national radio A-lists.

Sigala’s been championed by Radio 1, Capital, Kiss, MTV, The Sun, Daily Mirror, Popbitch, Digital Spy and Shortlist.

He’s also recently been in the studio with Felix Jaehn, Fuse ODG, and others.
