Generate Key Takeaways

Olivia Dean has announced her return to Australia – just months before her return to Australia. The rising UK rnb star will play three arena shows next October as part of her The Art Of Loving world tour, which is named after her forthcoming second studio album that’s slated for release at the end of the month. Dean’s newly-announced tour dates, as well as ticketing info, can be found below.

Dean made her Australian debut back in February as part of this year’s Laneway Festival line-up, playing the festival nationwide as well as select headlining shows in Sydney and Melbourne. In July, it was announced that Dean would return to Australia in November to play an outdoor show on the steps at Mrs. Macquarie’s Point in Sydney – marking a one-night-only performance from the singer.

Olivia Dean – ‘Man I Need’

The Art Of Loving is slated for release on Friday, September 26th via Capitol/Polydor. Co-produced by Dean herself with Zach Nahome, the album has had three singles lifted from it thus far: ‘Nice To Each Other’ in May, ‘Lady Lady’ in July and ‘Man I Need’ last month. ‘Man I Need’, in particular, has gained momentum on the charts globally; it currently sits at number six on the ARIA Singles Chart, and is in the top 10 in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Japan, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands.
