Tom Odell

Born in Chichester in the south of England, the young Tom began playing the piano at the age of seven. After moving to the seaside resort of Brighton, he studied at the Institute of Modern Music before pop star Lily Allen signed him to her record label. His breakthrough came in 2012 with his single ‘Another Love’, before ‘Long Way Down’ became a bestseller a few months later. Tom Odell also celebrated success with his other albums, including ‘Black Friday’ in 2024. The singer-songwriter is now embarking on a major indoor tour with his latest opus ‘A Wonderful Life’.

The songs on the new album were written during the nine months of his last tour - whenever he was alone with himself on buses, trains and aeroplanes. ‘I worked on the lyrics every day, over and over again,’ says the singer-songwriter, who is followed by 31 million listeners on streaming platforms every month. ‘It was like an obsession.’ The result is now a stirring and highly emotional work. With songs between joy and sadness, hope and powerlessness, which he will present in the Olympic Hall on 14 November 2025 together with his great successes from the past 13 years.
