English singer, actor and LGBTQ activist Olly Alexander rolled the Up Close and Polari tour in to Dublins 3Olympia to the delight of his fans, many of them from the LGBTQ community.
It was one of those shows were the fans would scream and cheer any time anything that moved, Olly even commenting at one point while deciding to put on a hat, he was heard saying you are a great crowd you even cheering for the hat.
For their cheers and screams the crowd were treated to a twenty strong song set of not only solo matirail but also a good number of Years & Years songs.
Opening the nights proceedings came from Jacob Alon a Scottish singer-songwriter with a profound gift for storytelling.
