Olivia Dean kicked off her six-night residency at London's O2 Arena on Wednesday, April 29, with all shows sold out. The "Man I Need" singer will perform on April 30, May 1-2, June 11, and June 12, though a few resale tickets may appear via AXS Official Resale or Ticketmaster.
Who Is Olivia Dean?
Raised in Waltham Forest by an English father and a Caribbean-descent mother, Dean grew up on Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, Carole King, and Al Green. She attended the BRIT School at 15, later performing on the South Bank before being discovered by manager Emily Braham in 2017. Her debut single "Reason to Stay" (2018) led to a deal with AMF/Virgin EMI. Her first album Messy earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Her 2025 album The Art of Loving includes hits like "Nice to Each Other" and the number-one "Man I Need."
