Olivia Dean

On 8 May 2026, Olivia Dean is at Forest National Forest. The British singer-songwriter from London moves between soul, pop and R&B, with songs about relationships, independence and everyday hesitations. Her measured voice rests on clear melodies and a supple rhythmic feel, supported by straightforward songwriting that gets to the point. The choruses stick without excess; the verses favour nuance and sincerity, drawing on a sensitivity rooted in the soul tradition and contemporary harmonies.

On stage, Olivia Dean emphasizes intimacy and collective play. A tight band, arrangements that keep the voice front and centre, and well-timed breaths: the balance between silky groove and stripped-back ballads arrives naturally. The set moves from suspended pieces to more driving numbers while maintaining a clear, coherent line. Between already recognised songs and new material, this appearance at Forest National Forest highlights her way of telling the intimate without frills and of conveying emotion with restraint.
