Director of Victorious Festival Andy Marsh says that the festival is the ideal opportunity to allow fans to meet someone as popular as the singer.

He said: ‘We have a massive array of artists that come along and perform at Victorious – from Stereophonics to Elbow and, of course, Olly Murs.

‘Here is a singer songwriter who is not only a really great guy, but is massively popular both on television and on the airwaves.

‘We decided that we wanted to do something a little bit different.
