OLLY Murs will be performing at a Herefordshire festival next year.
The 39-year-old, who finished runner-up on television talent show, The X Factor in 2009 before forging a successful solo career, will be the Sunday headliner at Lakefest 2024 at Eastnor Castle.
The four-day festival near Ledbury takes place from August 7 to 11, with tickets now on sale.
Headlining the opening night will be The Stranglers, an English rock band who burst onto the scene in 1974. The group have since had 23 UK top 40 since and 19 UK top 40 albums.

The following night will see Rudimental take to the stage. The drum and bass band have won several awards, including the Brit Award and MOBO Award for best album.
Saturday's headliner, meanwhile, is The Libertines. Famously led by controversial frontmen Pete Doherty and Carl Barat, the band gained notoriety in the early 2000s, culminating in a number two single and a number one album.
Their self-titled second album was also voted best album of the year by NME magazine.
Other acts who will be performing at the festival include The Twang, Blackgrape and Jake Bugg.
