Handsome Tours, Laneway Presents, Fuzzy & Botanic Gardens of Sydney are proud to present Olivia Dean, returning to Australia for an exclusive Sydney show this November!

Following her 2023 debut Messy, Dean’s ascent has been one of rare clarity. Shortlisted for the Mercury Prize, nominated for three BRITs, and most recently tapped to soundtrack the next Bridget Jones film (Mad About The Boy), she’s managed to walk the line between viral popularity and critical reverence without losing her footing.

Dean’s music resists easy classification, marrying soul, pop, and classic singer-songwriter structures with diaristic detail and featherlight production. Tracks like ‘The Hardest Part’ and ‘Dive’ gave listeners a front-row seat to her inner world, while live performances, from Jools Holland’s Hootenanny to Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage, have affirmed her quiet magnetism. That emotional generosity continues on her recent single ‘Nice To Each Other’, a gentle ode to early intimacy that lands somewhere between daydream and confession. “Don’t know where the switches are, or where you keep the cutlery,” she sings, turning the mundane into something fragile and full of hope.
