His appearance comes after he issued a career update after representing the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest earlier this year.
Olly represented the UK at the music competition in Malmö, Sweden with his raunchy track Dizzy on May 11, but despite the jury vote of 46, he sadly received an unfathomable zero votes from the public, resulting in him finishing in 18th place.
He recently confirmed his solo career as he announced being part of his band Years & Years is a thing of the past.
He took to the stage for BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Luton for his first performance since Eurovision.
Speaking to the crowd, Olly explained: ‘Listen, listen, I don’t have to tell you how good it feels to be back in the UK, doing a show.
‘Do you know what? This is my first ever show as Olly Alexander. I used to be in Years and Years, and now I’m just me.’
The star brushed the zero points under the carpet as he took to the stage in Luton for day three of the BBC festival on Sunday – which Coldplay headlined.
Olly stepped out in a black vest and white cargo pants for his raunchy performance, also sporting a pair of bright red sunglasses.
The hitmaker was joined on stage by two backing singer-dancers and had a video of himself played on the big screen behind him as he performed.
