Local Essex boy Olly Murs will join the Radio 2 in the Park lineup, performing on Sunday 7 September in Chelmsford.

Fresh off a sold-out Arena tour, Olly will join the star-studded line-up for the station鈥檚 flagship live music festival in Hylands Park, alongside acts such as Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, Belinda Carlisle and Jessie J. The news was revealed when Olly came into the studio to chat with Scott Mills on The Radio 2 Breakfast Show. Listen again at approximately 2:06.

With seven studio albums under his belt, including five chart topping records, Olly is gearing up to release a new single this month, with an album due later in the year.

Olly, said 鈥淚t鈥檚 always amazing to play in my home county and even better to top off an incredible summer of shows with a date there. Radio 2 have always supported me across my career, so being able to celebrate with them and so many great artists make this show even more special.鈥�

As well as some of the world鈥檚 biggest popstars, the three-day pop juggernaut will see many of the stations much-loved presenters take to the Radio 2 DJ stage. A host of big names from the Radio 2 presenting family, including Sara Cox, Trevor Nelson, Romesh Ranganathan and Michelle Visage, will keep crowds entertained when they perform sets on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday (5 鈥� 7 September).
