Moon & Stars is opening with a bang: ELLIE GOULDING & MARCO MENGONI!

The music festival Moon & Stars is starting with a bang this year hosting for its opening night this Friday, 8th of July 2016 British blonde Goddess ELLIE GOULDING and Italian Star MARCO MENGONI.
Ellie caught everyone's attention back in 2010 with the singles "Starry Eyed" and "Guns and Horses". She quickly was at the top of the charts with her contagious electro pop sound.
Ellie Goulding has sold millions of albums and won two prestigious Brit Awards, good for a girl which began at 14 to play guitar, ass and drums. After finishing school, she then formed on the field of electronic music  and is still consdered an expert in this complex field.
Her downright avant-garde hallmark is namely an original, vibrant sound structure with traditional acoustic,  synthesized instruments with percussion & bass beats. The results now  to put it bluntly is a brand new genre: "Folktronica", à la Ellie Goulding.
Her career journey began in 2010 with her debut album "Lights" which made it all the way up into the US charts. The start of a brilliant international career. With her  second album "Halcyon" (2012), she surprised her rapidly increasing large fan base with more melodic piano sound with electronic accents. A wonderful result as single like "Burn You" helped in making the Goulding hype tremendous. In 2014 she was featured on Calvin Harris' Top Ten UK hit "Outside" and entered the UK Top Ten with "Beating Heart".
The soundrack single "Love Me Like You Do" surely added to the success of the cult movie Fifty Shades of Grey in 2015. In the same year she released her third album Delirium which includes the hit single "On My Mind".
Are you ready for Ellie Locarno?
