OIly Alexander returns to Nottingham and says 'it's exciting to come back with a brand new show'

Years & Years singer, Olly Alexander is set to play Motorpoint Arena in the city centre on Monday, May 23. It's a triumphant return for the Channel Four-star as his band have played across the city centre including as part of Nottingham's Dot to Dot festival when he was just starting out.

Olly said: "In the early days, I played at Nottingham around 2015 so it's been a while. It's going to be exciting to come back with a brand new show. We have special guests, L Devine, Queer House Party and Eddy Luna performing with us. Eddy Luna is only performing in Nottingham as she is a local girl so it's going to be so exciting for the audience to see her."

Years & Years played Rock City as part of the Dot to Dot festival alongside Wolf Alice and Catfish and the Bottlemen. The festival sees multiple bands play across the city in different venues each year. Olly recalled the gig which was in Rock City and also remembered attending the infamous gig where The Pizza Underground were booed off stage and covered in beer.
