Olivia Dean is set to make a triumphant return to Australia in October 2026 with her first ever arena tour, following her breakout debut at Laneway Festival earlier this year.
The British singer-songwriter is touring in support of her forthcoming record The Art Of Loving, which drops on Friday 26 September, and arrives as she cements her place as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary music.
The tour kicks off in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena on Tuesday 6 October, before heading to Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Friday 9 October, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday 13 October, and across the Tasman to Spark Arena in Auckland on Saturday 17 October.
Dean’s career has surged since the release of her Mercury Prize-shortlisted debut album Messy in 2023, which also earned BRIT nominations and a place on the soundtrack of the latest Bridget Jones film with the track It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be. With her soulful voice and sharp songwriting, Dean has quickly become a major name on the global stage.
For Dean, The Art Of Loving is about finding beauty in the everyday, noting, “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.
