Olly Murs to play Lincoln Castle

Olly Murs first found fame on The X Factor in 2009

Olly Murs has been announced as a headline act at next year's Live at Lincoln Castle.

The Troublemaker and Marry Me star will perform at the event on 25 June 2025.

He will be joined on the night by special guest Lemar. Tickets go on sale at 10:00 BST on 11 October.

Mark Harrison from promoters Cuffe and Taylor said: “This is going to be a brilliant night. Olly Murs delivers high energy fun shows filled with fan favourites."

Texas are one of the other acts performing at Lincoln Castle next summer

He added: “With Lemar joining him I have no doubt this is going to be very popular and I would advise people not to delay getting tickets as they won’t be around for long.”

The headline concerts are part of an ongoing partnership with Lincolnshire County Council and Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor to bring popular artists to perform in a historic location.

It has previously been announced that Scottish rock legends Texas and Simple Minds will both headline Live at Lincoln Castle in 2025 with Texas performing on 15 June and Simple Minds on 28 June.

Councillor Lindsey Cawrey, executive member for culture at Lincolnshire County Council, added: “With two Scottish rock supergroups and now an English pop icon already on the roster, Live at Lincoln Castle 2025 is shaping up to be amazing."

Lemar is a double Brit Award and triple MOBO Award winner

Murs first rose to fame on ITV’s The X Factor in 2009 and has since enjoyed a hit-filled career with four number one singles, seven studio albums and six BRIT Award nominations.

This year has seen him attract new fans after a successful stint as special guest on Take That’s This Life tour.

Joining Murs as very special guest will be multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Lemar.

Described by promoters as 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.
