Olly was BAFTA nominated for his performance in Russell T Davies’ highly acclaimed series ITS A SIN for Channel 4; a 1980s-set drama about the Aids crisis which won Best New Drama at the National Television Awards. His other credits include THE RIOT CLUB, SKINS, and THE FADES.

The singer, songwriter, actor, fashion icon and activist has scored two #1 UK albums as Years & Years, ten UK Top 40 singles, and was awarded the BRIT Billion Award, with over 7.5 billion streams globally to date. Having headlined arenas and festivals worldwide – not to mention collaborating with Elton John, Kylie and Pet Shop Boys – it’s an icon status that even saw him immortalised at Madame Tussauds London.
Olly’s latest album Polari, released in 2025, was met with critical acclaim and draws inspiration from the coded, often playful language shared between gay men in inter- and post-war Britain. Created with producer Danny L. Harle in Hackney, the album passes a luminous baton from one era of riveting queer pop history to another.

In collaboration with Mighty Hoopla, he will present Trans Mission, an all-star solidarity concert for the trans community at OVO Arena Wembley on 11th March 2026. Supporting Good Law Project and trans-led charity Not A Phase, the one-night-only event brings together an extraordinary line-up of artists, friends and allies from across music and the arts in a powerful act of collective visibility, fundraising and resistance.
