Earlier this year Marina returned with her latest single ‘Radioactive’ and has since been touring the USA with the current queen of pop, Katy Perry. Back with a new sound that is more suited to the dance floor than ever before, Marina & The Diamonds are set to shake things up in the aisles at Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions.

Set to sparkle alongside Marina & The Diamonds is up and coming Swedish duo Icona Pop whose pop enthused tunes are sure to enthral the audience in the atmospheric setting of St John-at-Hackney. Kick starting the evening is Spark, an innovative East London girl already making waves with her live shows.

Marina says; “Dear Diamonds. My 1st London show in a year is on the horizon. I’m really honoured to be headlining The Little Noise Sessions and anxious to see my fans again.  I’ll be playing songs from my 1st album and also some special new ones from my forthcoming record, “Electra Heart”. I have a new band and am adding a beautiful string quartet. See you November 23rd…M x”
