NME editor Krissi Murison says: 'The Radar Tour has built an amazing reputation for breaking some of the world's most important new artists. Having seen Anna recently support Mumford & Sons at their special NME Awards show, we are really excited about her being on board to headline. I can't wait.'

Anna Calvi is also headlining two nights at London's Bush Hall on April 26th and 27th; both shows are now sold out. Anna has also been invited to play as support to Arctic Monkeys in Sheffield at the Don Valley Bowl on Saturday 11th June and has been confirmed to play this year's Glastonbury.
