Andy Smith, director at Futuresound Group, said: "We’re thrilled to be returning to York Museum Gardens next summer; with an even bigger line-up of music and comedy across two weekends for the first time.
"This newly expanded event simply wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration and support of York Museums Trust.
"It’s a privilege to be returning to the Gardens again next year and to be announcing Olly Murs today. We’re looking forward to revealing everything else in store for 2027."
Olly, who rose to fame on The X Factor in 2009, has since released eight studio albums and achieved multiple number one singles, including Heart Skips a Beat and Troublemaker.
He has also become a familiar face on television, returning as a presenter on The X Factor in 2015 and later joining The Voice UK as a coach.
The Live at York Museum Garden series, now in its fourth year, has previously featured sold-out performances from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), Self Esteem, and Super Furry Animals.
Comedians Russell Howard, Ross Noble, and Joanne McNally also headlined as part of the sister event, York Comedy Festival.
For the first event, York’s Shed Seven headlined Museum Gardens in 2024, leading the way for other acts to follow with the event being the first time that the park had staged a major rock gig since the 1970s and 80s.
Jocelyn Palmer, senior events manager at York Museums Trust, said: "We are so excited to bring Live at Museum Gardens back for another year, continuing our wonderful partnership with the team at Futuresound.
"Watching the concerts go from strength to strength each year has been so rewarding for us at York Museums Trust and the gardens are a wonderful space where we can blend its rich heritage and iconic scenery with fantastic seasonal events that gives the city centre a variety of entertainment, including these amazing concerts.
"Every penny helps us as a charity to continue to invest in our spaces and put on more unique events and experiences. We can't wait to share more details soon and welcome everyone into the gardens next summer."
