"I just want to give the people the best night of their life"
Last updated 21st Jan 2022
Olly Alexander released his brand new album 'Night Call' on 21st January, which is the first album from Years & Years since it became a solo project for Olly. He joined the Hits Radio Breakfast Show to chat about his incredible start to 2022 and his upcoming 'The Night Call Tour'.
Olly spoke about his tour, which is scheduled to start in May this year, and revealed what fans can expect from his shows: "If anybody managed to catch a little bit of my New Year's Eve show, that was like a little taster of what the show is going to be."
The 'Sooner Or Later' singer had an incredible start to 2022, when he hosted a New Year's Eve show on BBC One, performing with the iconic Kylie Minogue and legendary duo The Pet Shop Boys. Commenting on the experience, he said: "It was a dream, it was all just amazing. I can't believe I got to do that, I was so honoured to have that slot, to host that celebration for 2022 for the Great British public. It was amazing, it was amazing!"
If Years & Years' performances at Hits Live in November and his New Year's Eve show are anything to go by, you won't want to miss his tour performances!
Olly also gave an insight into how preparation for the tour was shaping up: "So I'm at the moment getting it together, but it’s going to be a very queer, very fun, party vibe. I just want to give the people the best night of their life. That's all I want."
'The Night Call Tour' will take Olly across the UK and Ireland throughout May and June 2022, where he will visit Brighton, Bournemouth, Birmingham, London, Manchester, Dublin and Glasgow.

The Years & Years singer also opened up about the importance of LGBT+ History Month, which is observed in February every year. He reflected: "I think as a gay person growing up you can feel really disconnected to your past, your history, or it can just be really confusing to know who to reach out to. You might not have those family members for instance that might be able to give you a helping hand."
Olly also revealed how important the LGBTQ+ community has been for him: "Seeking out your community is super important, and then knowing how your community was formed, where it came from, how it affects other communities, that’s just really helpful information. For me anyway it’s always been so helpful and helped me understand myself."
