About the event

Since the release of her critically-acclaimed debut album ‘Messy’ in 2023, Olivia Dean's star has continued to steeply rise. With the record being shortlisted for a coveted Mercury Prize as well as three BRIT Award nominations, her music has received widespread critical acclaim, cementing her status as one of the most compelling global voices in UK music. Now on her highly anticipated second album - the #1 selling ‘The Art of Loving’ which was released on Sept 26th via Capitol Records, that star only looks to rise further. 2025 has seen Olivia become the first British woman to have a #1 album and #1 single (with ‘Man I Need’) simultaneously, as well as having the biggest opening week for a British female artist, both since Adele in 2021. The album and single ‘Man I Need’ also peaked at #8 and #12 on the Billboard charts, respectively. She commands over 34m monthly listeners on Spotify and sold out her first ever UK arena tour in minutes, including a six-date residency at The O2 in London. Over 2025 she has been opening for Sam Fender as well as supporting Sabrina Carpenter. Full of Olivia’s signature warmth and lyrical honesty; ‘The Art of Loving’ is a study of the universal language in all its glorious technicolour. It conjures the full spectrum of life’s most complex emotions - joy, freedom, surrender, pain, belief, grief - with her signature deftness, whimsy and irresistible musicality.
