The Art of Loving Live is the second concert tour by English neo soul singer-songwriter Olivia Dean, in support of her second studio album, The Art of Loving (2025). It commenced on 23 April 2026, in Glasgow, Scotland, and is due to conclude on 17 October 2026, in Auckland, New Zealand, sppanning 54 shows across various arenas and festivals in Europe, North America and Oceania. The tour marks Dean's biggest concert tour of her career so far. Alice Phoebe Lou, Kokoroko, Jalen Ngonda, Sasha Keable, Baby Rose and Kaiit serve as supporting acts.
Announcements On 22 August 2025, Dean announced that she would embark on her second concert tour, the Art of Loving Live, spanning fifteen shows across Europe in her biggest tour thus far and her first ever all-arena tour. Pre-sales started on 26 August, while general sales began on 29 August 2025.
The shows sold out immediately and, due to high demand, Dean added five additional dates for the tour including a four-night residency at The O2 Arena, an additional date for Amsterdam, a second leg of the tour in Oceania, another two dates for her O2 residency in London, dates in the United States in Canada (her first time headlining arenas in the United States and Canada), and then added three additional shows at Madison Square Garden.
Philanthropy Dean announced that she would be partnering with the nonprofit organization PLUS1 to donate $1 from each ticket to strengthen and support communities in Jamaica.
Controversy over ticket resale in November 2025, Dean criticized Ticketmaster and other primary ticket outlets such as Live Nation, AXS, and Anschutz Entertainment Group for allowing tickets to the tour to be re-sold by scalpers at high markups. Dean referred to Ticketmaster as providing a "disgusting service" and said that the secondary ticketing market was "exploitative and unregulated". As a result of the controversy, Ticketmaster and AXS capped resale ticket prices for Dean's tour and provided refunds for fans that paid above face value; Dean said that she was excited to see "real people" at her shows.
