Prior to this run, Dean\u2019s biggest show in the capital had been at London\u2019s 3,500 capacity Eventim Apollo, and debut album <em>Messy<\/em> topped out at No. 4. Now it\u2019s six sold-out nights at the O2 Arena to a combined 120,000 fans. Now? It feels like she could have done six more, judging by the clamor for tickets at this U.K. run before the tour goes global.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>The Art of Loving<\/em> looks set to be one of the U.K.\u2019s defining albums this century. Since its release it has scarcely left the top five of the U.K.\u2019s Official Albums Chart and has earned eight weeks at the summit. The LP has collected the best album prize at the BRITs \u2014 and Dean herself won <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/features\/olivia-dean-grammys-2026-best-new-artist-1236170594\/\">best new artist at the Grammys<\/a>, a rare feat for a British artist. Expect it to pick up an album of the year nod at next year\u2019s ceremony and be a favorite to win.<\/p>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story \/\/ lrv-u-display-inline-block lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-margin-t-2 u-margin-t-26@mobile-max u-margin-b-0.875@mobile-max u-margin-b-150@tablet u-border-t-12 lrv-u-padding-t-025 u-padding-b-1.313 lrv-u-padding-b-125@mobile-max lrv-u-border-color-black injected-single-story lrv-u-border-b-1\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<h3 id=\"title-of-a-story\" class=\"c-title  lrv-a-unstyle-link lrv-u-whitespace-nowrap u-font-weight-700 lrv-u-display-inline-block u-line-height-18px a-font-accent u-letter-spacing-0225 u-font-size-16 lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-article-badge-underline a-article-esp u-display-inline-flex lrv-u-margin-b-1@mobile-max u-margin-b-075\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tRelated\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n<div class=\"injected-related-story-wrapper lrv-u-flex lrv-u-justify-content-space-between lrv-u-padding-tb-050@desktop a-children-border-vertical a-children-border--grey a-children-border-width-050\">\n<div class=\"o-card \">\n<p>\t\t\t<a tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/songs-that-were-big-uk-hits-but-not-in-the-u-s\/\" class=\"lrv-u-color-black:hover lrv-u-flex u-flex-direction-column@desktop\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  lrv-u-margin-b-075 lrv-u-margin-b-00@mobile-max u-width-130px@mobile-max\">\n<div class=\"a-crop-6x4 a-crop-3x2@mobile-max\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/olivia-dean-art-of-loving-tour-london-best-moments\/\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2264088284-e1776877412274.jpg?w=237&amp;h=147&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 28: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Robbie Williams presents the Song of the Year Award with Mastercard to Sam Fender and Olivia Dean for \u201cRein Me In\u201d on stage during The BRIT Awards 2026 at Co-op Live on February 28, 2026 in Manchester, England.

The LP deftly glides between pop smashes (\u201cMan I Need\u201d), soul-infused groovers (\u201cBaby Steps\u201d) and intimate R&amp;B (\u201cA Couple Minutes\u201d). The album\u2019s visual aesthetics  \u2014 and Dean herself \u2014 are leading its own inimitable style; the amount of polka dot skirts and floating dresses, Dean\u2019s signature style, worn by fans give viral math-rock duo <a href=\"https:\/\/ca.billboard.com\/business\/touring\/steven-himmelfarb-angine-de-poitrine\">Angine de Poitrine<\/a> a run for their money.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tNow she\u2019s bringing all of those sounds and visual references to life with a powerhouse show, one that\u2019ll be one of 2026\u2019s most sought-after tickets.
