Organisers of the 2025 have come up trumps again with the signing of the household name and whets the appetite for other announcements in the run up to next summer.

The first tickets for Live at Ludlow Castle 2025 will be available from 10am on Thursday October 10 as a postcode pre-sale for those with SY7, SY8 & HR6 postcodes.

A spokesperson for the organisers says: "We’re incredibly excited to announce as the first headliner for our 2025 Live at Ludlow Castle series!

"Since rising to fame as a star on The X-Factor, Olly Murs is now a household name with a string of huge number one singles under his belt including Heart Skips a Beat and Troublemaker.

"He brings his distinct blend of pop, indie, ska and disco to Ludlow Castle on Saturday 26th July 2025."

Founded by Ludlow man Colin Oliver, Leeds-based Futuresound have worked with Ludlow Castle on creating, establishing and realising the annual series of 5,000 capacity events since 2023 and the partnership is fully committed to establishing the iconic site as one of the UK’s premier outdoor venues for live music.

Andy Smith, head of Live, Futuresound Group said: “We’re so excited to be coming back to Ludlow Castle next year; this year's shows were a real highlight and over the last couple of years we’ve developed a great, long-standing relationship with the town. It’s a privilege to be coming back to the castle and we can’t wait to reveal what else we have booked in for 2025”

Gemma England, General Manager, at Ludlow Castle said: “We are thrilled to be making our first artist announcement for Live at Ludlow Castle 2025 and we can’t wait to see everyone having a great time with Olly Murs in this special venue!

"Working with Futuresound to deliver this epic event in Ludlow is always a pleasure and we can’t wait to revel what else we have in store”

The series follows from a sold-out series of shows earlier this summer.

General admission tickets will go on-sale Friday October 11.

This forthcoming 2025 series will be the third season of Live at Ludlow Castle, with last year seeing 20,000 music fans enjoy unforgettable performances from headliners James, Elbow, Madness and Anne-Marie as the series sold out all four nights for the second year running.
