Olivia Dean has announced she’s set to head out on the biggest UK and Europe headline tour of her career next year, and she’ll now be playing not one but TWO dates in Manchester.
Fresh off the back of supporting the North East’s finest, Sam Fender, on his run of big outdoor gigs this summer – including a recent and rather massive one at Wythenshawe Park – Olivia Dean has now announced her very own headline tour.
And of course she’ll be making a stop off here in Manchester as she heads around the UK.
The tour announcement comes ahead of the release of her sophomore album, The Art of Loving, which is out next month on 26 September, and follows the release of a collection of singles, including the already high-charting ‘Nice To Each Other’.
The 26-year-old singer-songwriter will first head out on a tour of some of the UK’s major cities, before taking on the rest of the continent and visiting cities like Berlin, Paris, and Amsterdam along the way.
From her earliest show in 2017 with a crowd of just 70 people, on to three triumphant sold-out nights at the Hammersmith Apollo, Olivia has been firmly building herself a powerful live legacy and is already on her way to carving out a legendary path.
On release, the multi BRIT Award nominee’s debut album Messy received widespread critical acclaim and cemented her status as one of the most compelling voices across neo-soul and pop.
While still relatively early on in her career, Olivia has already earned comparisons to the greats, and 2025 sees her ready to ‘scale up’ and ‘conquer’.
It may still be relatively early days, but she’s made for the biggest stages.
Olivia will kick off her tour next year in April, and will be taking to the stage of Manchester’s newest live entertainment arena, Co-op Live, on Saturday and Sunday, 25-26 April 2026, following a trip to Glasgow and before two huge gigs at London’s OVO Hydro Arena.
Pre-sale goes live at 10am on Wednesday, 27 August, for official Co-op Members, and the general admission will follow on Friday, 29 August, again at 10 am – with tickets available HERE.
You can also re-order the album for early access to tickets.
Feeling a little fancier? You can treat yourself to some posh tickets to Olivia’s Co-op Live shows via SeatUnique, with a range of different packages available HERE.
