After selling out her initial London O2 Arena dates in record time, British singer-songwriter Olivia Dean has announced additional performances for her highly anticipated 2026 UK headline tour, cementing her meteoric rise in the music industry.
The expanded schedule now features six O2 Arena shows spanning from April 29 through June 12, with all performances set to begin at 6:30 PM, making this Dean’s most ambitious live concert series to date.
The unprecedented demand for tickets prompted organizers to quickly add the supplementary dates, as fans scrambled to secure seats for what many consider to be Dean’s definitive breakthrough moment.
Original tickets vanished almost instantly upon release, causing secondary market prices to surge between £68.89 and upwards of $233, with average resale values hovering around $193 per ticket on verified platforms like Vivid Seats.
Demand skyrocketed as tickets disappeared immediately, driving resale prices to premium levels across trusted secondary marketplaces.
Dean’s sophomore album, “The Art of Loving,” produced by Zach Nahome, serves as the creative foundation for the tour.
The collection explores multifaceted dimensions of love through warm, vulnerable performances, with standout track “So Easy (To Fall In Love)” exemplifying the joyful, hopeful themes that have resonated deeply with her expanding audience.
The singer’s rapid ascent is further evidenced by her entry into Spotify’s top 500 global artists, with monthly listener counts showing dramatic increases following the tour announcement.
This commercial momentum extends beyond British shores, with international dates in Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin, and major Australian and New Zealand cities experiencing similar sell-out scenarios.
Beyond the London O2 appearances, Dean will perform at prestigious venues including Glasgow’s OVO Hydro and Manchester’s Co-op Live as part of her extensive UK circuit.
Dean’s team has leveraged targeted social media campaigns to build anticipation for the tour, creating a powerful connection between her music and devoted fanbase.
The extended touring schedule, running from April through October 2026, reflects the artist’s growing international appeal and commercial viability.
For fans who missed initial ticket releases, verified resale marketplaces remain the safest option, with several offering guarantee-backed purchases to guarantee authenticity amid the continuing frenzy for what has become one of 2026’s most anticipated concert events.
Fans still hoping to attend can find hospitality tickets available for the Manchester shows starting at £159 through Seat Unique, offering premium experiences for those willing to pay extra.
Her recent singles Nice to Each Other and “Lady Lady” have been climbing the charts, further fueling excitement for the upcoming O2 performances.
Dean has reportedly secured several sync deals with major film productions, adding another lucrative revenue stream to complement her successful touring business.
