Leona has announced that she will return to her East London roots, Hackney to be exact, with an intimate gig at the 1,250-seat Hackney Empire next month. The show, scheduled for 2 November, will give Lewis a chance to showcase tracks from her sophomore album ‘Echo’, which is released two weeks later.

“I’m really excited to be playing my first full show in the UK at the Hackney Empire in front of the people who have helped me to get where I am today. No one has heard any of my new material yet so I really want to play it to my fans first and I can’t wait to get their reaction.”
