CHART-TOPPING pop sensation Olly Murs is bringing his 15 Years of Hits UK tour to north Wales next summer.
One of Britain’s biggest and best-loved stars, the Troublemaker and Marry Me star, will headline Live at Llangollen Pavilion on Friday, July 4, and he will be joined on the night by very special guest Lemar.
Today (October 4), they have added Murs and Lemar to that list of stars as another memorable summer of music awaits Llangollen.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am Friday, October 11 from llangollen.net and TicketMaster.
Murs first rose to fame on ITV’s The X Factor in 2009 and has since enjoyed a hit-filled career with no less than four Number One singles, seven studio albums and six BRIT Award nominations.
This year has seen him attract a whole new army of fans after a successful stint as special guest on Take That’s This Life tour.
With his infectious energy, Olly presents a catalogue of fan-favourites including such hits as Please Don’t Let Me Go, Heart Skips A Beat, Dance With Me Tonight, Dear Darlin’, and Wrapped Up promising an unforgettable night as he makes his Llangollen debut.
Joining Olly as very special guest will be multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Lemar.
One of the most successful male British solo artists of the last two decades, Lemar has enjoyed considerable chart success in the UK and Ireland releasing 10 top 20 singles, seven of which peaked in the top 10, and selling more than two million albums.
Lemar is a double Brit Award and triple MOBO Award winner who has worked with many of music’s greats, from Lionel Richie to Justin Timberlake, Mary J Blige, Beyonce and Mariah Carey. Last year Lemar released his 7th studio album Page In My Heart and earlier this year he starred alongside Beverley Knight in Sister Act in the West End before joining chart toppers JLS on tour.
It has already been announced that Scottish rock legends Texas will headline Live at Llangollen Pavilion on Thursday, June 26, while global pop rock sensation The Script will headline on Thursday, July 3 with more announcements to come.
The headline concerts are presented in a partnership between Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor and Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.
Cuffe and Taylor co-founder Peter Taylor said: “We are thrilled to announce Olly Murs for next summer. Olly is a fan favourite delivering high-energy shows time and time again. He’s a pop sensation for a reason and alongside very special guest Lemar I'm confident Llangollen is in for a night to remember.”
Artistic Director of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod Dave Danford added: “We’re getting ready for a big summer of live music in Llangollen next summer, and we’re delighted to be announcing Olly Murs and Lemar. It’s guaranteed to be a fun evening, with two of the UK’s most popular vocalists!”
