It's been over two years since Ellie Goulding toured, but the British pop princess, and friend of Taylor Swift and Lorde, has announced she is heading back Down Under as part of her world tour later this year.

The 29-year-old singer and songwriter will bring her Delirium World Tour to Australia and New Zealand in September.

Her hit song 'Love Me Like You Do' from the Fifty Shades Of Grey soundtrack broke the world record, becoming the most streamed song in one week.

Goulding, who was nominated at the Grammys for Best Pop Solo Performance, for the hit song, which she lost out on to Ed Sheeran, was later snapped partying with Kiwi pop princess Lorde at the Republic Records party.

The pair are signed to the same Universal label.
