Tom Odell to play Olympia Theatre

The show will follow the release of his much-anticipated third LP, Jubilee Road, coming out this October.

Odell’s debut album, Long Way Down, featuring his breakthrough single 'Another Love', met with tremendous critical acclaim. Though the title for his newest album may be fictional, Jubilee Road may well be Tom's most honest and personal album to date. The tracks focus on real life stories of the time he spent living in a house in East London, fictionalizing the street name to preserve his neighbors' privacy. The listener is nevertheless drawn into the real-life dramas that Odell paints.

Speaking of the album Tom said "I wrote this album in a house on a quiet terraced street in East London. The lyrics are inspired by the lives of the friends I made whilst living there. I recorded most the songs in the living room of the house and if I listen back closely, I can still hear the sound of the old man’s television shows coming through the walls from next door, the kids from the house opposite playing football in the street below and the sound of my girlfriend’s footsteps on the wooden floorboards above. I don’t live there anymore, my life has changed somewhat, but I will always remember the time fondly and I hope you enjoy listening to the album as much as I did making it”.

Jubilee Road will be released on October 12th on Colombia Records.

Additionally, he has released a set of dates for a UK tour featuring a date in Dublin's Olympia Theatre.
