Closing the event will be pop sensation OLLY MURS, who holds 5x UK #1 Albums since wowing the nation on The X Factor back in 2009. The Essex man has sold out countless arena tours across the UK, and now is looking to take on festivals with a set guaranteed to be filled with hits from the last 15 years.
