He's one of Britain's most loved stars, who last performed on our shores at the Dubai Jazz Festival in 2014. Now Olly Murs is back for a hotly anticipated gig, his 2017 Spring Tour headline show at du Forum, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi on Friday, April 28, and we can't contain our excitement! Apart from his musical talent, it's Olly's cheeky, happy personality that we love and we can't wait to sing along to some of our favourite hits like Troublemaker, Dance With Me Tonight and Beautiful to Me.
Olly has come a long way from his X Factor runner-up beginnings. 2016 was an incredible year for the singer which saw him celebrate his latest and fourth successive No.1 Album 24 HRS, becoming the most successful solo artist ever to emerge from the UK's X Factor series. The single Years and Years is the new album's centrepiece; an expansive, explosive, spine-tingling belter and follows the radio favourites You Don't Know Love and Grow Up.
Since Olly shot to fame in 2009, he has recorded four multi-platinum albums, produced 4 Number 1 singles with total record sales exceeding 10 million. 24 HRS is the follow up to the acclaimed million selling Never Been Better. Before his huge summer tour, the spring of 2017 will see Olly play 23 UK shows confirming his reputation as one of Britain's best live performers.
