Soul sensation Olivia Dean has confirmed details of her first UK and European arena tour, which will take place in 2026.
Dean is gearing up to release her second album, The Art of Loving, on September 26th, 2025, which is the follow-up to the Londoner’s Mercury-nominated 2023 offering, Messy.
Next year, she will be taking The Art of Loving on the road, beginning at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on April 23rd, before taking to the stage at the Co-op Live in Manchester and playing two headline dates at the O2 Arena in London.
This summer, Dean has got used to playing the biggest stages with Sam Fender. Last weekend, the duo who recently teamed up for a new version of ‘Rein Me In‘, performed at Wythenshawe Park in Manchester after previously playing St James’ Park in Newcastle and the London Stadium in the capital. They also play in Edinburgh tonight (August 22nd).
Later this year, Dean, who recently released her new single ‘Man I Need’, will be on support duties again for Sabrina Carpenter, playing iconic arenas across the United States, including five nights at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Upon announcing The Art of Loving, Dean said about the album’s central theme: “I can be quite traditional in my approach to love. But in the last year I’ve just been thinking about an alternative, in a place where I’ve been choosing myself. I want to be loved and love other people but right now in my life, I’m really just doing me and it feels really cool.”
She added: “I think there’s a whole spectrum of how you can have relationships with people in your life and still make them really meaningful and honest. But that’s a new thing for me to be honest.”
Following the conclusion of the UK dates, Dean will tour Europe, including huge dates at the Accor Arena in Paris, the Avicii Arena in Stockholm and Fairview Park in Dublin.
