Life as a music artist isn’t as glamorous as it seems. The hours spent traveling, performing, and promoting can become grueling. But touring comes with the territory, and luckily, Marina Diamandis of Marina and the Diamonds loves it.
Our June/July cover star is currently on the road touring her latest album FROOT (and it’s absolutely delicious, if you haven't heard!). While fans get to see her on stage performing among neon nature motifs and funky-colored fruit, we’ve were fortunate enough to go backstage with the artist. Ahead, Marina gives us a candid behind-the-scenes look at the international leg of her tour. How juicy!
Cologne
First day back on tour. People think backstage is rock 'n' roll...but the reality is that it’s sometimes absolutely unglamorous and filthy.
Hamburg
In Hamburg. I've been given about seven pairs of these glasses and I'm not mad about it.
Hamburg
My manager, Jess, taking care of business.
Brussels
In Brussels. I inhaled an entire box of truffles after this show in flavors ranging from pine tree to bergamot. Delicious.
Berlin
This was a great night for vodka. And a great night for me.
Paris
Paris fans!
