Following the announcement of her headline performance in Gadigal/Sydney this November and ahead of her second album The Art of Loving out September 26, Olivia Dean today announces her 2026 ‘The Art of Loving’ AU/NZ arena tour. SEE ALL PRE-SALE + GENERAL ON SALE DETAILS BELOW.

Presented by Handsome Tours and Laneway Presents, ‘The Art of Loving’ tour will see arena appearances in Wangal/Sydney, Naarm/Melbourne, Meanjin/Brisbane, and Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland in October 2026. Pre-sale tickets will be available from Fri 12 Sep at 11 AM (local), with general on-sale on Wed 17 Sep at 11 AM (local). See dates and details below.

Following her 2023 debut Messy, Dean’s ascent has been one of rare clarity. Shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, nominated for three BRITs, and most recently tapped to soundtrack the latest Bridget Jones film Mad About The Boy, with ‘It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be‘, she’s managed to walk the line between viral popularity and critical reverence without losing her footing.

Dean’s music resists easy classification, marrying soul, pop, and classic singer-songwriter structures with diaristic detail and featherlight production. Tracks like ‘The Hardest Part’ and ‘Dive’ gave listeners a front-row seat to her inner world, while live performances, from Jools Holland’s Hootenanny to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, have affirmed her quiet magnetism.

That emotional generosity continues on her recent releases ‘Man I Need’ and ‘Nice To Each Other‘, and as she prepares to release her second album The Art of Loving, on September 26, Dean is shifting the lens closer. The record, she says, deepens her lifelong study of love – not the spectacle of it, but its smaller, more ordinary textures. “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,” she says. “But that’s a new thing for me, to be honest.”
