Orla Gartland Releases New ‘Why Am I Like This?’ EP

Today Orla Gartland releases her much anticipated Why Am I Like This? EP and announces a European tour in November, including a headline show at The Scala, London.  

Why Am I Like This? EP is a collection of inward-facing songs written over the four years Dublin-born Gartland has resided in London. As she explains: 

“Each of these songs explores something I’ve learnt about myself in my late teens through to my early twenties – these super turbulent, super formative years.” 

Why Am I Like This? EP

Includes the previous singles Why Am I Like This?  (February 2019) and Flatline (April 2019). The former was aptly coined “existential pop” and received phenomenal support being the artist’s fastest-growing track to date – with over a million Spotify streams and counting. 

  To date her music has been streamed over 8 million times on Spotify alone, with 180k YouTube subscribers and thousands of loyal online supporters. 

This year alone, Gartland has toured Europe extensively with Dodie including a date at Roundhouse, London; played a sold-out headline UK/Ireland tour which included two Omeara, London dates, and recently performed Live at Leeds festival.  

Now Orla Gartland has announced a headline European tour including a date at her homeland of Dublin, Ireland and a headline show at The Scala, London. Exclusive fan tickets are available to buy from Wednesday 29 May with additional tickets going on sale on Friday 31 June.
