Billy Lockett Steps Out With ELO!
Announced As Special Guest For Autumn Arena Tour
Singles ‘Fading Into Grey’ / ‘My Only Soul ‘Out Now
Following the release of his double A side single ‘Fading Into Grey’/’My Only Soul’, up and coming singer-songwriter Billy Lockett has been announced as special guest on Jeff Lynne’s ELO’s massive UK and European arena tour this autumn, which includes four nights at the London O2 Arena! Following these dates, Billy will join Lewis Capaldi on his UK tour in November.
The announcement comes after a summer that has seen Billy go from strength to strength, having played a sold out Union Chapel, a huge homecoming show in Northampton for BBC Introducing and the announcement of a European headline tour that will include the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire.
