This will be the second outdoor concert to take place in Darlington in 2021, following confirmation that the Tom Jones concert due to take place in 2020 has been re-scheduled for Sunday 13th June 2021.

With much of 2020 coming to a standstill due to the Covid-19 pandemic, next year’s shows aim to put a smile back on the face of the country where he will perform his biggest hits, including tracks from his recently certified triple platinum album ‘Never Been Better’.

It’s still been a busy year for Olly, who recently captained England in this year's Soccer Aid, and is looking to retain his crown as winning judge on his third series of The Voice, which has currently been postponed at the semi final stages. In lockdown, he also managed an impressive body transformation, working closely with personal trainer Rob Solly, and sharing his fitness routine exclusively with Men’s Health. He is also working on new music to be shared next year.

On the announcing the tour Olly said: "I can’t tell you how excited I am to announce this tour. It’s been such a tough year for everyone and I can’t wait to get back out on the road and entertain my fans. We’re definitely going to be celebrating in Darlington next summer."

Liz Doogan-Hobbs MBE, CEO of Grandslam Live and LHG Events, promoter of the two
concerts said, “We are delighted to be bringing another huge concert to Darlington next summer. It’s been such a tough year for everyone with no live events being able to take place. I am thrilled to confirm that Olly Murs will be joining Tom Jones by performing in Darlington next summer, we know it will be two epic party weekends at The Darlington Arena."

Arena Manager Danny Brown commented: “Following a really tough year for everyone we are delighted to be able to announce another world-renowned artist performing at the Arena. We’ve worked closely with LHG and the local authorities to bring the Darlington Arena back to life over the last few years and to have Olly Murs and Tom Jones at the Arena in 2021 is something for everyone to get excited about!”

Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said: “My heart skipped a beat when I found out Olly Murs was coming to Mowden Park. It just shows because I wear my heart on my sleeve, we’re in the right place right time.

“He might be a troublemaker, but I hope he’s going to dance with me tonight.”
