One of the O2 Arena’s biggest residencies of the year kicks off this week: Olivia Dean is in town for six nights at the city’s biggest indoor music venue. The Londoner (and former Time Out cover star) lands in the capital basking in the success of her second album The Art of Loving and a GRAMMY win.
The Haringey-born singer and songwriter’s The Art of Loving Live tour will see her play four nights over the next week, with two more scheduled for June. The tour began in Glasgow last week and stopped in Manchester. After London it’ll head off around Europe, then be back to the Big Smoke for a couple of shows before jetting off to North America and Australasia.
Can’t wait to hear smash hits like ‘Man I Need’, ‘Nice to Each Other’ and ‘So Easy (To Fall in Love)’ belted out at full volume at the O2? Here’s what you need to know about the dates.
