Essex-born pop sensation Olly Murs is set to make a triumphant return to his roots with his biggest-ever homecoming concert at Chelmsford City Racecourse on Sunday, July 6, 2025.

Murs, who grew up in Witham, will headline the special event as part of his "15 Years of Hits" UK tour, celebrating a career that has seen him rise from The X Factor finalist to one of Britain’s most beloved performers.

Olly will be playing his biggest ever home-county headline show when he heads to the Great Leighs venue on Sunday.

And this highly anticipated show will see Murs joined by special guests, including British boyband Blue and R&B star Lemar, with fellow Essex boy and close friend Mark Wright opening the event with a DJ set.

Speaking about the homecoming, Murs expressed his excitement:

“So awesome to be back in Essex doing a summer show! I’ve been wanting to do another show in Chelmsford for so long and it’s finally happening!

I can’t wait to be performing back at home and I look forward to seeing you guys next summer at the racecourse. What a weekend it’s gonna be!”

Fans can expect an unforgettable evening as Murs delivers his energetic live performance, featuring some of his biggest hits like Troublemaker, Heart Skips a Beat, Dance With Me Tonight and Dear Darlin'.

This summer has already seen Murs attract a new wave of fans after joining Take That on their This Life tour.

Joining him for the Chelmsford concert, Blue will perform following their successful Greatest Hits tour earlier in 2024.

Known for iconic hits like All Rise and One Love, Blue have sold over 15 million records worldwide. Rounding out the line-up, triple MOBO Award winner Lemar will bring his soulful sound, fresh off the release of his seventh studio album.

Organized by Cuffe & Taylor in partnership with Live Nation, the event marks the second major show of the summer at the racecourse, following the announcement of Justin Timberlake’s performance on July 4.

Tickets for Olly Murs' show go on sale Friday, October 11 at 10 am via Ticketmaster.
