Joel Corry reveals what's in store for his Hits Live performance
He's got a treat for us in Liverpool
We're now just a few weeks away from Hits Live, which will be taking place on 26th May in Liverpool, and joining the stellar line-up this year will be Joel Corry.
The fantastic 'Lionheart (Fearless)' DJ joined Fleur East, James and Matt recently to talk to them about what we can expect from his performance on the night, whether he will be releasing an album any time soon and if there could be a collab on the horizon.
Talking about missing last year's Hits Live, Joel revealed: "I'm so excited man... Hits Live is always one of the biggest nights of the year, and I'm back! Bigger and better than ever, I'm going to bring the energy as always. I can't wait man, bring it on!"
The DJ went on to reveal that he would be coming back with "new bangers", as well as: "New production, new show, new special mash-ups for you guys. It's just going to be like an ultimate set of power. It's just going to go off man, I can't wait!"
Check out the line-up for Hits Live Liverpool:
Joel Corry
We'd feel Lonely if Joel Corry wasn't at our gig in Liverpool! After all, the HISTORY is there - Joel's back at the M&S Bank Arena this May.
Ella Henderson
We were gonna risk it all with this caption and go off piste, but instead we thought we'd just tell you this IS real! Ella Henderson is hitting up Liverpool on 26th May.
Freya Ridings
Weekends are better with Freya, which is why she's taking to the stage at Hits Live in Liverpool. We'd have been lost without her.
Jess Glynne
No, we're not going on holiday, we're going to Hits Live Liverpool! Jess Glynne will be Right Here and on our stage at the M&S Bank Arena
Mae Muller
We had a vision, it involves Mae Muller on stage at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool (for the second time in May). It's a good job she wrote a song.
Sigala
Every great song needs a Melody, good job Sigala's got loads! He's hitting up the M&S Bank Arena on 26th May.
Zara Larsson
It's a Lush Life when Zara Larsson's on stage! Lucky she's hitting up Liverpool on 26th May for Hits Live.
Tom Grennan
This announcement's Not Over Yet! Tom Grennan's bringing his biggest hits to Liverpool for All These Nights (technically speaking, it's just one night).
When Joel was asked by Fleur: "What is your favourite song to perform?" He admitted that it was a hard one to decide, revealing: "I always love MNEK 'Head & Heart', or Tom Grennan, because when we do 'Lionheart' together oh my god like he... I've never seen anyone bring so much energy to the stage than Tom Grennan so... and of course Becky Hill as well, like 'History'. When we perform 'History' together we always have such a great time."
With so many bangers under his belt, Matt then asked about new music, and if there were any collabs, when Joel revealed that Nathan Dawe was his "boy", and they're good mates. So, when Matt asked about the possibility of a collab called Corry Dawe, he didn't write it off!
"One day," Joel explained: "We have talked about doing a collab together, and I just thought, maybe the project could be called Corry Dawe, like you just said. That is actually pretty sick."
Going on to joke that he thought Matt should be in it as well, he said: "Maybe we could debut this at Hits Live?!"
And that wasn't the only potential collab... When the team quizzed him on recently being spotted with fellow Hits Live performer Zara Larsson, he was asked if they're working together, and his response was: "Zara's wicked, no comment".
He went on to say it was great to hang out with her in Miami, and all of her fans have been messaging him. So could something be about to happen? 👀 We certainly hope so!
Is Joel Corry going to release an album?
Yes, Joel is planning to release an album, he hasn't revealed when yet, but he said he had a meeting with his label about releasing one: "Hopefully later this year". He also revealed he has loads of new music coming, starting THIS MONTH!
