Ellie Goulding - Apple Music Festival 2015 @ Roundhouse
Ellie Goulding
English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ellie Goulding headlined the first night of the 2015 Apple Music Festival at Camden's Roundhouse, the newly re-branded iTunes festival which has been running at the venue since 2009.
Following a well received festival-opening set from American soul, R&B, jazz and blues singer Andra Day, the now customary big-screen countdown clock into the headline act arriving had the North London crowd counting along ahead of Goulding making her appearance.
The 28-year-old burst on stage from the centre, dressed in a black and red military-workout combo outfit which was well-suited to her energetic performance.
Leading with Calvin Harris collaboration track Outside, Goulding barely stood still, bounding about and making good use of the extended Roundhouse stage.
Halcyon tracks Ritual and Goodness Gracious followed, the crowd lapping up hits from her last release.
"It's so good to be back in London", the Starry Eyed-hitmaker said of playing the Camden venue. "I only live up the road!"
Major Lazar collaboration track Powerful was accompanied by a stunning light show, coherent light sources in a multitude of colours lighting up the re-purposed train roundhouse.
Hits Figure 8, Anything Could Happen and Burn also made an appearance, the latter allowing Goulding a sole outing with her black Gibson Les Paul guitar for a suitable flailing-haired rock chick moment.
Following the announcement, this past week, of her third studio album Delirium hitting shelves in November, new music was promised at tonight's show. And she didn't disappoint, giving newest single On My Mind it's live debut to open the show's encore.
"Lets end with a love song" Goulding said, introducing show closer Love Me Like You Do.
It's clear to see how this once subdued singer-songwriter and guitarist is now headlining major music festivals and playing to thousands at her own arena shows with two studio records under her belt as she brought her brand of colourful pop, dramatic theatrics and sheer energy of those large-scale productions to the comparably tiny Camden Roundhouse.
The Apple Music Festival continues over the next 8 nights with headline sets from Take That, One Direction, Florence + the Machine and Mumford and Sons amongst others.
Catch Ellie on the UK leg of her Delirium arena tour in March 2016 with a stop at London's O2 Arena on March 24th.
