Ellie Goulding will play two arena shows in New Zealand later this year.

The British pop star will perform at Christchurch's Horncastle Arena on September 29, and Auckland's Vector Arena on October 1 in support of her latest album, Delirium.

She was last here in 2014 for a performance at Vector Arena that said she proved "exactly why she's 2014's Brit It-Girl".

Her hits include Burn, I Need Your Love, Light and Anything Could Happen.

The shows will be supported by Years & Years.

Tickets go on sale on March 3. A Frontier Touring pre-sale begins on February 29.
