Olivia Dean has officially launched her biggest tour to date, opening The Art of Loving Live tour in Glasgow on April 23. Fresh off her Best New Artist win at the Grammy Awards 2026, the British star delivered a career-spanning set that blended breakthrough hits with deeper cuts from her acclaimed second album.
The Glasgow opener marked the first of 52 arena shows across Europe, North America, and Oceania. Built around the emotional core of The Art of Loving, the performance leaned into her signature mix of neo-soul, pop, and R&B, while spotlighting the tracks that defined her rapid rise between 2025 and 2026, including “Man I Need” and “So Easy (To Fall in Love).”
Momentum behind the tour has been building for months. Announced on August 22, 2025, the initial European leg sold out immediately, prompting multiple extensions. Additional dates included a four-night residency at London’s O2 Arena and expanded runs across North America and Oceania, alongside newly added shows at Madison Square Garden.
That demand sparked industry-wide discussion. In November 2025, Dean publicly criticized resale practices from major ticketing platforms, calling out inflated prices in the secondary market. Her comments led to capped resale pricing and refunds for fans who paid above face value, reinforcing her stance on accessibility as the tour moved forward.
Beyond the commercial scale, the tour carries a philanthropic component. Dean partnered with PLUS1, pledging $1 from every ticket sold to support community initiatives in Jamaica. Supporting acts across the run include Alice Phoebe Lou, Kokoroko, Jalen Ngonda, and Sasha Keable.
Released on September 26, 2025, The Art of Loving marked a turning point in Dean’s career. The album topped charts in the UK, and Australia, while also breaking into the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
