“Saturday Night Live” was just the beginning.
Just before appearing as the musical guest on the Nov. 15 Glen Powell-hosted episode, Olivia Dean announced a North American leg of her summer 2026 ‘The Art of Loving Tour.’
As of now, the rapidly rising, neo-soul singer-songwriter has 15 arena concerts scheduled from mid-July through late August.
That includes a pair of stops at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Aug. 13 and Friday, Aug. 14.
“These are venues I have only dreamt of playing,” the 26-year-old shared via Instagram. “See you next year lovers!!!”
All 2026 shows come in support of Dean’s recently-released second studio album that shares a name with the tour. While on “SNL,” she performed “Man I Need” and “Let Alone the One You Love,” both of which are on the record.
Prior to taking off her international trek, the London native also has a handful of Jingle Ball gigs lined up this December.
She’ll perform alongside superstars like Laufey, Ed Sheeran, AJR, Alex Warren, Conan Gray and more at those star-studded shows.
In the event you’ve yet to see her IRL, critics are ecstatic about her live performances.
“The warm glow about Dean filled the energy in the room, as her soulful vocals reverberated through the venue,” Atwood Magazine wrote in an exuberant review of a London show of hers in May 2024.
“Where the first half of her set showcased her soulful range with tracks like ‘Dangerously Easy’ and ‘What Am I Gonna Do On Sundays?’ Dean upped the ante with ‘Ladies Room’ and ‘Reason to Stay’ in the second half of her set, getting everyone up and dancing.”

Olivia Dean new music
On Sept. 26, Dean dropped her second studio album “The Art of Loving.”
It also answers an important question, which is “12 tracks and 34 minutes.”
The question of course is “how long does it take one to become a Deano”?
If you’re anything like us, you’ll be bobbing along to the laid-back jam “Nice To Each Other,” spacey yet deeply felt “Lady Lady” and stripped-down showstopper “Close Up.”
Yet, the tune that will likely stick in your head — forever cementing your Deano status — is the strummy, dreamy “So Easy (To Fall In Love),” which sounds like what getting a crush feels like.
Don’t forget the mega-hit “Man I Need,” sweetly simple “Something Inbetween,” hypnotic bop “Baby Steps,” cinematic epic “A Couple Minutes” or tear-jerking ballad “I’ve Seen It” either. They’re all essential for any self-respecting Deano.
To give the record a spin, you can find “The Art of Loving” here.
Olivia Dean “SNL” performances
As noted above, the gifted vocalist delivered a quick two-song set on “Saturday Night Live.”
If you’d like to catch her self-assured performances, we recommend giving her bubbly rendition of “Man I Need” and slow-dance ready “Let Alone the One You Love” a well-deserved click.
