Olly Murs is one of the most successful British pop singers of his generation. Originally from Essex, he rose to fame on “The X Factor” in 2009, finishing in second place. His unmistakable blend of pop, soul and British charm quickly transformed him from a talent show star to an internationally renowned artist and entertainer.

His debut single “Please Don’t Let Me Go” reached number one in the UK charts. This was then followed by hits including “Heart Skips a Beat”, “Dance With Me Tonight”, “Troublemaker”, “Dear Darlin’” and “Up”. Murs has claimed a total of four number one singles and five number one albums in the UK, but hits like “Troublemaker” and “Dance With Me Tonight” have also brought him fans around the world.

A new musical chapter opened up for Murs in 2025. His eighth studio album “Knees Up” took him back to his musical roots. Inspired by British pop and ska, the album shows an exuberant, personal yet pensive side to the singer. Featuring new songs including “Save Me”, “Bonkers” and “Run This Town”, “Knees Up” reached number five in the UK album chart.

Murs’ music blends modern pop with soul, funk and ska. Catchy melodies, dance-worthy beats and his warm, distinctive voice give his songs an unmistakeable, feel-good character.

Olly Murs will appear at Art on Ice from 4 to 13 February 2027, bringing his irresistible feel-good pop to Zurich, Fribourg and Davos.
