The return of a Newmarket Nights legend

Press Release 18th November 2022

By The Jockey Club Live

After a storming set in 2021, OLLY MURS is set to make his triumphant return to The July Course on Friday 18th August 2023.

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

“Newmarket! I can’t wait to come and play my new music and all my most-loved tracks for you all in 2023. We always have an awesome time at Newmarket Nights so know this show will be very special.”

Sophie Able, General Manager of Newmarket Racecourses, said

“Olly Murs is becoming a regular at Newmarket Nights for very good reason – his live shows are incomparable and promise a fantastic evening for all. With Bastille and now Olly on our 2023 line-up, we can’t wait to reveal more.”

Olly joins previously announced Bastille, who will headline on Friday 30th June.  

Newmarket Nights returned in full force in 2022, with showstopping headline performances from household names including The Script, Anne-Marie and Paloma Faith. The season was concluded with a sold-out set from Pete Tong & the Symphony Orchestra, which saw over 16,000 fans descend onto the green for a glorious summers evening. The Jockey Club Live events continue to be renowned for combining an electric evening at the races with a spectacular evening concert in an informal and relaxed open-air setting.
