Olly Murs at Newbury Racecourse on Saturday 19th August 2023
OLLY MURS
PARTY IN THE PADDOCK
SATURDAY 19TH AUGUST 2023
After a storming set in 2021, OLLY MURS is set to make his triumphant return to Newbury Racecourse on Saturday 19th August 2023, for a full headline set after racing.
The singer, songwriter and solid-gold pop star has been all over our screens recently. He’s been front and centre as host of ITV’s Starstruck, then, he returned to the big swivelly chair on The Voice. But in the artist world – the world that forged him, Olly has been off the radar for over four years. Now, the musician who had four Number One singles and four Number One albums in a near-back-to-back run after bursting onto the scene with his double-platinum self-titled debut in 2010, is well and truly back. He released new single ‘Die of a Broken Heart’ last month, his first taste of new music in four years, taken from his forthcoming album ‘Marry Me’ out 2nd December.
Olly’s previous six albums and subsequent sold-out tours have all been enormously successful. The stats speak for themselves: 6 multi-platinum albums, 4 #1 UK albums, 4 #1 UK singles, 6 million Spotify monthly listeners, 800 million YouTube views & 1.8 million tour tickets sold.
Olly Murs said: “I had a such a good time at Newbury in 2021, I’m absolutely delighted to be returning next year. I can’t wait to play my new music and all my most-loved tracks for you all!”
Harriet Collins, Marketing Director for Newbury Racecourse said: “We are extremely excited to announce Olly Murs as our first artist for the 2023 live music season. We love having Olly at the racecourse as he always puts on such a fantastic show for his fans. See you on Saturday 19th August!”
