Speaking about the show, Olly previously told Metro: 'There are many loud anti-trans voices across the media, and we have a government that has rowed back on its commitments to LGBT+ people too, as part of a broader attack on the rights and safety of marginalised communities.

'Words will never be enough for the gratitude I feel. To now be stepping into fatherhood at the same time is the greatest gift I could ever imagine...
'Music gave me purpose, but being a dad gives me everything. Here’s to the past that built me, the present that grounds me, and the future I can’t wait for!
'Thanks to all the fans for once again making my dreams a reality, I really couldn’t do it without you all. It’s going to be amazing to see so many of you on the upcoming tour in September.'
