For Halsey fans, the long wait is finally over as she confirms she will be coming to New Zealand first the very first time - next week. 

The GRAMMY Award-nominated, multi-platinum selling artist also confirms she will play one, very exclusive showcase – an experience that money can’t buy. Ticket giveaway details will be announced over the next week.

Hailed by Billboard Magazine, Forbes and MTV as “the voice of her generation,” Halsey’s rise to pop stardom has been something of a fairytale. It was just a couple of years ago that Halsey was still Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, a New Jersey teen who’d escaped her chaotic family life and suburban existence for New York, writing poetry, and scrounging money for concerts and her next slice of pizza.

Halsey went from putting songs on SoundCloud to having her first full length album, Badlands, certified platinum by the RIAA within one year of its release, with five Gold singles and more than 2 billion streams. She went from couch surfing to witnessing her first tour sell out in minutes to touring globally with sold out dates on five continents (including a sold-out Madison Square Garden performance) and performing for the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony in Norway.
