Returning to Thetford Forest, Olly Murs once again brought his infectious energy and smooth dance moves to the stage.

Despite entering his self-proclaimed 'Dad Era', Murs still captivated the crowd with his velvety vocals and charming interactions with the audience.

The moment he unbuttoned his black and gold shirt during his performance of You Don't Know Love, the crowd erupted in excitement.

Prior to his set, Murs had been backstage watching England's late win, which added to the celebratory atmosphere of the evening.

He engaged the audience by getting all the kids to raise their hands and cheer, humorously acknowledging the generational span of his fans.

Murs expressed his admiration for Sir Tom Jones and his desire to continue performing for years to come, inspiring future generations like Madison, his newborn daughter.

Throughout the show, Murs shared personal anecdotes, including a touching tribute to his late friend Caroline Flack during the performance of Dear Darlin'.

As the rain began to drizzle, the audience illuminated the night with their camera torches, creating a poignant moment.

Murs recently became a father to Madison, expressing his gratitude for the overwhelming support he received.

Despite the whirlwind of emotions surrounding his daughter's birth, Murs continued to deliver an electrifying performance during his support tour with Take That, only 48 hours after the birth of his daughter with wife Ameila Tank.

The Manchester band must have left a lasting impression on Murs as he exploded into a medley of his favourite Take That songs.

Back For Good, Shine, Pray, Everything Changes and Relight My Fire had the crowd dancing and singing along, showcasing his versatility as an artist.

The night concluded with Murs' chart-topping hits, leaving the audience on a high note. From Heart Skips a Beat, Dance with Me Tonight and Troublemaker, Murs delivered a 90-minute set filled with nostalgia and excitement.

His ability to connect with the audience through music and storytelling solidified his status as a beloved performer.

The new VIP area from Forestry Live gave those with passes the exclusive use of toilets, food stalls and a bar set away from the rest of the venue. The exclusive pass holders had their own entrance and an area reserved to the right of the stage for prime viewing.
