Olly had already started thinking about potential collaborators and said he was desperate to get Rihanna on board for their next release.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "We’ve started thinking about it [the next album]. We’ve got ideas. I want to do a song with Rihanna we need to make that work."
Tickets are on sale now from £30 and available via Mighty Hoopla’s website.
