The open-air show is part of the Margate Summer Series, which has seen artists such as Tom Jones, Queens of the Stone Age, Primal Scream and McFly perform at the venue over the past few months.

The 39-year-old singer will be coming to the vintage fairground on Friday, August 25 and tickets are still available online here.

The artist, who recently celebrated his marriage to fiancée Amelia Tank, first shot to fame on the sixth series of the X Factor in 2009.

He finished in second place behind Joe McElderry and went on to present its spin-off show, the Xtra Factor, in 2011.

He now is one of the judges on the BBC series The Voice.

His latest tour will celebrate the release of his seventh studio album, aptly named Marry Me.

Supporting Olly at his Dreamland gig is chart-topping band Scouting For Girls.
