Ida Maria

Offbeat singer-songwriter Ida Maria plays at the Carling Academy Oxford on November 23rd as part of a nation-wide UK tour.

Despite being virtually unheard of last year, the charismatic Norwegian singer has steadily grown in popularity and is touted by many to be the next big indie pop star.

Ida's live performances on Later… with Jools Holland and at the Glastonbury Festival earned her critical acclaim, and the upcoming dates will mark her first full tour of the UK.

Tickets for the Oxford gig cost just £8, plus booking fee, and can be purchased online here.

Debut album Fortress Round My Heart is also available in the shops now, including the energetic, punk-tinged top 20 single I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked.

Anyone planning to attend this gig can book accommodation with YHA Oxford, which is conveniently located just 3.5 miles from the venue.
