Olivia Dean, the acclaimed singer-songwriter who first garnered widespread attention with her debut album Messy, is set to embark on a major UK arena tour in spring 2026 to support her upcoming second album, The Art of Loving. Following the success of her Mercury Prize-nominated debut and notable performances alongside artists such as Sam Fender and Sabrina Carpenter, Dean is returning with fresh material highlighted by the single “Nice to Each Other,” which has already become a favourite among fans and critics alike.
The tour kicks off on 23 April 2026 at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, continues to Manchester’s Co-op Live on 25 April, and concludes with multiple shows at London’s O2 Arena on 29 and 30 April.

Tickets for the UK shows will go on sale on 29 August 2025 at 10am BST, with presales available from 27 August through platforms including O2 Priority and venue-specific pre-sales. For fans eager to enjoy the concerts in a more exclusive setting, hospitality packages will also be available, offering perks such as premium seating, food, and beverage service, and improved venue access, although these packages are expected to be released alongside the general ticket sale. Ticket prices have been disclosed for the London O2 concerts at approximately £68.89 excluding booking fees, with prices for Glasgow and Manchester yet to be confirmed but anticipated to be slightly more affordable.
The announcement of Dean’s tour marks her largest UK tour to date, underscoring her evolving status in the music industry and the anticipation surrounding The Art of Loving.
