Olivia Dean has officially entered her headline era, and she’s doing it in style. With a voice that sounds like Sunday morning soul and a stage presence built on honesty, the British singer has officially confirmed her 2026 North American tour for “The Art of Loving.” Fans across the U.S. and Canada now have their chance to see what critics call her “modern Motown glow.” If live music still stirs something in you, this is your cue to grab a ticket and feel it for yourself.
The Route That Spans A Continent
Starting July 10, 2026, Olivia Dean will open the North American leg at San Francisco’s Chase Center, and the stops include Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, and New York, wrapping up August 28 at Austin’s Moody Center.
The venues themselves speak volumes. From California’s indoor arenas to the humid heat of a Texas night, each space will amplify Dean’s rich, honey-toned vocals. Fans can expect a balance between large-scale sound and the intimate warmth that’s become her trademark. Her Houston performance at the Toyota Center on August 25 is already shaping up as one of the biggest draws of the season.
Tickets, Dates, And A Heartfelt Mission
For those already checking calendars, the pre-sale began November 18, 2025, with general ticket sales launching November 21. But the real twist? One dollar from every North American ticket goes to support Jamaican communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. That kind of gesture makes her tour more than an entertainment event—it becomes an act of shared goodwill.
Ticketmaster lists tiered pricing that opens the doors to fans of every budget, from balcony seats with crisp acoustics to floor spots close enough to feel the bass. For seasoned concertgoers, it’s refreshing to see a major artist treating the live circuit as more than routine promotion.
The Experience Fans Can Expect
After peaking at number 4 on the UK charts and being shortlisted for a Mercury Prize buzz for “Messy,” Olivia Dean now brings her full creative energy stateside. Expect a show that’s rich in sensory detail: warm lighting palettes, brass arrangements that ripple through the air, and her signature emotional phrasing that can hush a 20,000-seat crowd.
Setlists are rumored to include songs like “The Hardest Part,” “Ladies Room,” and her new single “Time’s A Healer.” Transitioning from “Messy” to “The Art of Loving,” her music has grown bolder, mixing soul, pop, and R&B influences without losing honesty. This tour represents that growth. Fans can expect moments of joy and heartbreak in equal measure, all filtered through her steady, radiant tone.
The Moment Music Feels Alive Again
Olivia Dean’s 2026 North American tour is shaping up to be more than a concert series—it’s a celebration of connection. Every stop feels intentional, and every ticket holds meaning that goes well beyond the music. There’s something rare about hearing a voice that sounds just as warm live as it does on record. When the lights dim and that first chord hits, you’ll remember why live music still matters. Check your city, grab your tickets, and let the night do the rest.
