Olivia Dean kicked off her global The Art of Loving arena tour in Glasgow, Scotland on Wednesday night (April 22). The show at the city’s OVO Hydro is the first of an upcoming slate that will take the London-born artist to some of the biggest venues of her career.
The U.K. leg will see her play six nights at London’s 20,000-capacity O2 Arena alongside dates in Manchester, and then heading to Ireland for shows in Dublin. The tour kick-off saw Dean debut a number of tracks from the Art of Loving live for the first time, including “I’ve Seen It” and “Baby Steps.” Dean performed her sophomore album in full during the 23-track set – see the full setlist for the show below.
Elsewhere, Dean covered a classic from Curtis Mayfield, taking on his 1970 track “Move On Up” for the first time. A number of Dean’s tracks from her debut album Messy were also in the mix, including fan favorites “Ladies Room” and “Dive.”
Deep cuts from her earliest releases, including “OK Love You Bye,” were also perfomed, as well as “It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be,” her entry to the soundtrack of the 2025 film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy.
“Rein Me In,” a collaboration with Sam Fender that is currently in its eighth week at No. 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart, was not included in the show. Fender and Dean have performed the song only a handful of times together, including at the former’s 80,000-capacity show in London last June.
The U.K. leg continues with a second show in Glasgow on Thursday (April 23). The tour will hit North America from July onwards.
