England has produced a string of fabulous soul singers – from Sade and Amy Winehouse to Adele and Jorja Smith – and it looks like Olivia Dean is the next name to rise to stardom.

She inherited her love of music from her parents, which is evident in her middle name Lauryn – after Lauryn Hill, of course. Olivia Dean made a huge splash in 2023 with her debut album “Messy” with hits like “Dive” and “The Hardest Part”, which reached number 4 on the UK album chart and earned her a nomination for the prestigious Mercury Prize album award as well as three BRIT Award nominations.

Olivia Dean's musical universe is filled with soft tones and empathetic harmonies that send loving nods to both English and American soul and R&B, but also jazz and modern pop. It's the perfect space in which her warm, powerful and sweet vocals can frolic.

“We are bringing the Wembley concert into 2026! The 1986 concert was completely extraordinary in its set-up, even when compared to similar productions today. It is a massive equipment package in terms of special effects, confetti, pyro, smoke and stage set-up. The basic principle of our set-up is the same as in 1986, but much more modern. This is what we think Queen would do at Wembley if they had had today's technological capabilities.”  –Queen Machine.
