George Ezra delighted fans earlier this year when he burst back onto the music scene with his hit 'Anyone For You', as well as announcing his upcoming third album 'Gold Rush Kid'. Following the release of his next single 'Green Green Grass', George joined us at the epic Hits Live Liverpool 2022.

Along with the 'Budapest' hitmaker, the line-up included huge names Anne-Marie, James Bay, Jax Jones, Tom Walker, Clean Bandit, Joel Corry and Becky Hill.

We caught up with George backstage of Hits Live Liverpool, where he told us next year would be a big one.

"This summer is nowhere near as crazy as it would have been in years gone by," he explained. "I think next year will be... I think it's that boring thing of festivals couldn't happen in 2020, they've been carried over, but we headlined a lot in 2019, so they didn't want us back for 2020!"

He continued: "There will be bits going on, but I think next year will be the real 'strap in' summer."

George went on to say that he's played Glastonbury a few times and: "That's the pinnacle of it."
