Estelle Tickets

Short Biography
Home-school/Atlantic recording artist Estelle has announced an April/May European tour in celebration of her smash new album, All of Me.  The Grammy Award-winning soul sensation will perform a series of unforgettable shows across Europe, beginning 20 April in Schuttorf, Germany, and ends 17 May in Dublin, Ireland.

"I can't wait to be back performing live for all my European fans," said Estelle on the brink of releasing her highly anticipated new album. "This album, All of Me really means a lot to me and I'm looking forward to sharing the album live with everyone."

All of Me - which follows 2008's blockbuster, Shine - debuted at No. 9 on Billboard's R&B Chart and features two critically acclaimed singles, Thank You and Break My Heart (Feat. Rick Ross).

Highlighted by collaborations with such luminaries as Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and Janelle Monáe, the album has earned widespread critical acclaim. "All of Me is a coherent, concise album that is most characterised by its creator's overflowing wells of confidence," declared Fact, while BBC Music praised the album's "clutch of sleek, shimmering songs reminiscent of early Erykah Badu and Mary J. Blige."

Rolling Stone applauded All of Me as "multifaceted," further commending Estelle's "warm, tough hip-hop R&B" for its "realness, conversational and smooth just the same."
Prior to All of Me, Estelle's Shine - which marked the premiere release from Grammy Award-winner John Legend's Home-school Records label, in partnership with Atlantic Records - was without question one of 2008's most compelling releases.  

The album proved Estelle's global breakthrough, fuelled in part by the phenomenal hit single, American Boy (Feat. Kanye West), which was certified 2x-platinum in the U.S. and earned Estelle her first-ever Grammy Award.

In-depth Biography
Able to rap, sing, and write songs that had everyone from John Legend to Roots Manuva singing her praises, Estelle Swaray got her start in London's renowned hip-hop record store Deal Real. Her fellow employees encouraged her to take a chance and get on the mike on-stage; soon she was playing numerous London clubs and appearing with the likes of Manuva and Rodney P. Local hero Skitz asked her to appear on his 2000 album, Countryman, and soon she landed on albums by the likes of the 57th Dynasty and Blak Twang. She made her solo debut in 2003 with the Excuse Me 12" on the Paradise Isle label, but her breakthrough track came in 2004 when "1980" was released by the V2 label and reached number 14 on the U.K. pop chart. A street-level mixtape series called Da Heat and further 12"s like "Free" and "Go Gone" helped build a loyal following, and Estelle gave back to the U.K. hip-hop scene by forming her own Stellarents label to sign new artists. In October 2004, V2 released her debut album, The 18th Day. Three years later, U.S. R&B singer John Legend announced that Estelle would be the first signee to his Homeschool label, distributed by Atlantic in the U.S. Her sophomore album, Shine, was released in April 2008 and peaked at number six in the U.K., while its biggest single, "American Boy," topped the U.K. chart and, in the U.S., reached the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100. In February 2012, following the Top 30 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop single "Break My Heart" (featuring Rick Ross), Estelle released album number three, All of Me. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
