Olly Murs Brings Heart, Hits, and Humour to Glasgow’s Hydro
So here I am, buzzing to talk about none other than Olly Murs – the cheeky Essex lad who stole our hearts back in 2009 on The X Factor and never gave them back. And right now, he's lighting up Glasgow’s iconic OVO Hydro, and honestly? It’s the perfect venue for someone like Olly, who feeds off pure energy and connection. He’s mid-way through his 15 Years of Hits tour, and this stop, he says, is the “best” on the whole schedule. And that’s not just PR fluff—he genuinely means it.

You can feel how much Glasgow means to him just by the way he talks about it. He said it himself: the Hydro, the people, the vibe—it all just comes together for what he calls a “great night of entertainment.” And Olly’s not new to this. He’s had five number-one albums, a string of top-charting singles like Dance with Me Tonight and Troublemaker , and a knack for turning arenas into giant karaoke parties. But it’s the little things that show his heart.
This time, he’s added a unique moment to his setlist just for the Scottish crowd—singing The Proclaimers . Not just for fun, though. That song holds real sentimental value for him. Turns out, when he was a kid, his nan would ask him to sing it in exchange for a biscuit. That’s right, little Olly Murs singing “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” in his nan’s living room, probably belting it out with biscuit crumbs on his jumper. And now here he is, 41 years old, standing on one of the biggest stages in Scotland, sharing that same song with thousands. It’s a full-circle moment, and you can’t help but feel that warmth.
You’ve got to love an artist who doesn’t just perform for the crowd, but with them. That’s Olly. He brings that mix of nostalgia, personality, and pure showmanship that’s rare to come by. Whether it’s singing to his baby daughter or reminiscing about his estranged twin on national TV, he’s real. And in an industry filled with filters and facades, that’s refreshing.
So if you’re in Glasgow and you’ve got a ticket—get ready. And if you don’t? Keep an eye out for clips online, because Olly Murs at the Hydro isn’t just another gig—it’s a love letter to his fans, his family, and his journey from that X Factor stage to now.
