Olivia Dean | Köln

In the organizer's words:

Born and raised in Walthamstow, Olivia Dean is one of the UK's brightest rising stars, praised for her endearing, down-to-earth lyrics and magnetic, feel-good live performances.

Since 2019 Olivia has been gathering fans apace, now with over 5 million monthly listeners globally, and she was streamed over 150 million times in 2022 alone. She has supporters across BBC Radio 1, Beats 1, The Guardian, Sunday Times Style, Dazed, The FADER, NME, ELLE, gal-dem, Vanity Fair, Clash and more tipping her for greatness. She has become a regular feature at Fashion Week, is a Chanel ambassador, and has starred on the cover of fashion titles from Wonderland to Puss Puss.

With Olivia Dean's debut album Messy, released earlier this summer, we gain a refreshingly textured snapshot of a young woman embracing the beauty in freedom and acceptance: of life, of love, of mess. On it Olivia's signature soul-bearing lyricism joins forces with some of her most expansive and varied production to date, all bolstered by a newfound determination to defy any categorization except her own.

Following this year's debut in Germany with a sold-out show in Berlin and a few festival shows (Apple Tree Garden, Dockville...), Olivia will bring her tour to Cologne's Stadthalle this coming May.
