Olivia Dean « The Art Of Loving »

Olivia Dean brings The Art of Loving Live to Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on August 5, 2026. The London-born singer and songwriter, trained at the BRIT School, first stepped into the spotlight with Rudimental before charting her own course with a trio of EPs — Ok Love You Bye (2019), What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays? (2020) and Growth (2021). Her debut album Messy (2023) extends a sound rooted in soul and pop, with warm vocals, unfussy melodies and arrangements that feel close to a live band.

On stage, Dean keeps things direct and human, centering lyrics about relationships, self-worth and everyday moments. The set typically moves between tender ballads and mid-tempo tracks, carried by subtle harmonies, organic keys and a grounded rhythm section. From intimate club dates to larger European rooms, she’s built a live approach that favors connection and clarity over effects. In Toronto, The Art of Loving Live brings that same focus on songcraft and the feel of musicians playing together, sized up for the arena without losing the intimacy of her writing.
