Olly Alexander Confirmed as UK’s Eurovision 2024 Star

The BBC has just dropped a bombshell for Eurovision fans: Olly Alexander, the charismatic frontman of Years & Years, will fly the Union Jack in Malmö, Sweden next year. After weeks of online speculation, the news is now official.

Olly’s Eurovision Dream Come True

Olly Alexander, the English singer and actor, couldn’t hide his excitement. “I’ve loved watching Eurovision ever since I was a little kid,” he said. “I’m beyond thrilled to be taking part next year. I really can’t believe I’m going to be part of such a special legacy and fly the flag for the UK in the gayest way possible. It shall be an honour!”

This comes as Olly steps out on his own, launching his solo career. “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time and it feels like the right moment to release music under my own name,” he revealed. Fans can expect a show-stopping performance that will be impossible to forget.

What’s Next? The Song Reveal and More

The track Olly will perform has yet to be unveiled, with details expected early next year. All eyes will be on the UK’s Eurovision entry as anticipation builds.

From Childhood Star to Eurovision Contender

Born Oliver Alexander, Olly’s roots run deep in music and acting. His mother helped found the Coleford Music Festival, and Olly started acting in school plays. His screen debut came in 2008 with the film Summerhill, before he shifted focus to music.

Years & Years began as a five-piece band in 2010, soon turning into a trio by the time their 2013 single “Traps” caught attention. Their 2015 hit “King” crowned the UK charts and boosted their fame. Today, Olly is the sole figure behind Years & Years while also carving out his solo path.
