Olly Murs goes into his recently released single, Save Me.
It has been a massive hit and continuously played on radio stations across the country. That's thanks to it being a bit of an earworm, assisted by those glorious trumpets throughout.
We are on Olly Murs' eighth song of the evening, Wrapped Up.
His energy just keeps ramping up - does he ever stop? Can we handle any more of these good vibes?
You are just too much, Olly. This is stellar!
Heart Skips a Beat, which was released in 2011 and featured Rizzle Kicks, changes the vibe quickly back to a party atmosphere.
Olly Murs spins, jumps and waves his arms about.
The crowd similarly has their arms in the air as they get into the song.
Olly Murs says the next song is one of the hardest for him to sing after losing his friend, Caroline Flack.
It is Dear Darlin' which he previously dedicated to her. He adds that he misses her dearly.
He says he also did not realise the impact the song would have on his friends and family.
The crowd appreciates the moment and respectfully watches the singer before he gets them involved to sing the song themselves.
It is a tender and emotional moment we have not really seen at the festival over the past few days.
It feels like a moment to reflect and appreciate those around us.
Olly Murs takes off his jacket, ready to get into his song You Don't Know Me.
The man is full of charisma as he parades around the stage, delighting the audience.
His dance moves are epic - he looks like he is having so much fun.

"Anastacia, in Essex, let's go," Murs adds.
Olly Murs brings out Anastacia for his 2015 song Up, which he originally performed with Demi Lovato.
He says they have only rehearsed the song twice together but we know it will be flawless.
"Essex, it's good to be home - it's good to be back in Chelmsford," Olly Murs tells the crowd ahead of his next song, Kiss Me.
"Def Leppard are coming out soon, how cool is that?
"It's an honour to be here tonight. Literally three days ago I became a dad for the second time."
He goes on to look into a television camera and speak to his partner watching from home: "Wife, I am so sorry I am here at Hylands Park with all these beautiful people.
"I love you and when I'm finished I'll be straight home, I promise."
As the sun starts to set on Hylands Park, Olly Murs has drawn in a huge crowd.
It looks beautiful. What a sight. Well done, Chelmsford.
Olly Murs goes into his rousing song Right Place Right Time and it feels very appropriate for this homecoming show.
His backing singers sound great alongside him.
It is not hard to see why Olly Murs is so loved.
He is still the cheeky chap we all knew and loved from his X Factor days as he busts some moves on stage.
"Essex, it's good to be home," he shouts at the crowd during Troublemaker.
This is a nice homecoming gig for Olly Murs.
He is only from down the road in Witham and still lives in the county with his family.
Olly, it is lovely to have you here.
He opens his set with Troublemaker as he skips on to the stage and asks the crowd how they are feeling.
Image source, Sarah Jeynes/BBCEssex's own Olly Murs rose to fame after he appeared on the sixth series of ITV's The X Factor in 2009.
He finished runner-up behind Joe McElderry, but it did not stop him becoming a huge star.
In 2010 he released his debut single, Please Don't Let Me Go, which debuted at number one in the UK charts.
Over the past 15 years he has continued to release hits like Troublemaker, Dance With Me Tonight, Kiss Me and Dear Darlin'.
He stuck to his Essex roots too and still lives here with his partner and their children.

Paul and Sarah Routledge travelled from south Wales to be at Radio 2 in the Park yesterday.
They got to meet up with friend Ginnie James, 47, who also made the trip over from Wales.
Sarah and Ginnie told us they couldn't miss it - they became friends aged seven and grew up together listening to Bryan Adams!

Asked what her job is like, she says: “So amazing. I’ve worked with her for eight years. This is the best it’s ever been. We’ve just been on a 66-show tour and now we’re getting ready for the next one."
Vicky O’Neon, 36, (left in the image) has played percussion in Anastacia's band for the last four years.
"It's all strong women on this team," she says.
"It’s been absolutely incredible.
"Having Anastacia as a boss is incredible. She has a massive heart and she’s not afraid to show that.
"We’re lucky."
Anastacia's set flew by but boy did she take us on a journey.
Here are all the songs she performed:

Anastacia’s set was definitely my highlight of the whole weekend.
The energy from the crowd was unmatched and I definitely need to rest my vocal cords after belting out all her hits.
I loved her Essexisms too - her Essex accent might be even better than mine and I’ve lived here my whole life!
Anastacia at the end of her set says her fans, the radio and streaming has changed her life.
She gives the crowd a moment to sing Left Outside Alone on their own again.
She ends the moment by singing out "I love Radio 2" before bowing and walking off stage.
The banging hits keeping rolling on. Up next is I'm Outta Love.
Anastacia is setting us all free right now with this performance and we definitely are not out of love for her.
Image source, Elliot Deady/BBCThe crowd is loving Rylan Clark performing with Anastacia.
"Thanks for fitting me in, babe," Rylan tells the singer at the end of the song.
Rylan is doing Essex proud.
