**EUROVISION 2015 WINNER MANS ZELMERLOW ANNOUNCES OLYMPIA THEATRE SHOW**

Mans Zelmerlow, Swedish winner of the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, has announced that he will kick off a 17 date European tour at The Olympia Theatre in Dublin.

Back in May as Mans was announced winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, a lifetime goal was fulfilled for the publicly loved Swede.

‘Heroes’ is a culmination of a long period of reinvention for Mans - his solo career was launched with his first attempt to win Swedish song contest Melodifestivalen in 2007. Although he finished third, his debut single ‘Cara Mia’ topped the charts and was soon followed by his debut album ‘Stand By For…’. After extensive touring and a break in which he joined the cast of Footloose, his second collection ‘MZW’ was released in 2009, with ‘Hope & Glory’ another near winner at Melodifestivalen. After concentrating for a little while on his work as a TV presenter he eventually headed to Spain with some friends to record his 2014 album ‘Barcelona Sessions’ which reflected his appreciation of the likes of Coldplay and Bryan Adams.

His Eurovision song of choice ‘Heroes’ is a part of his album “Perfectly Damaged” which was released in June – a mix of the organic musicianship of the ‘Barcelona Sessions’ with the electronic influence of ‘Heroes’ and a touch of the personality that helped him become so successful in the first place.

Mans comments; “I’ve always been a fan of both Melodifestivalen and Eurovision, and it was an absolute dream come true to be announced winner! I’m feeling so very grateful and excited about touring this fall, it’s going to be amazing meeting all the heroes across Europe.”
