Olivia Dean at Target Center

London-born singer-songwriter Olivia Dean performed her first-ever Minnesota show at the Target Center on July 29, 2026. Following her Best New Artist Grammy win, the artist delivered a set blending soul, R&B, and pop. The production featured a 1960s variety show aesthetic, with a full band and backing vocalists performing on a tiered stage.

The setlist was anchored by Dean's album 'The Art of Loving,' which she performed in its entirety. This included a chronological opening of the first six tracks and a stand-out performance of the song 'Let Alone the One You Love.' Between songs, Dean shared personal anecdotes about her visit to the Twin Cities, including a trip to Paisley Park and a local baseball game.

A significant portion of the evening was dedicated to local cultural influences. Dean paid homage to Minneapolis icons Prince and Charles Schulz, performing a funky cover of 'I Wanna Be Your Lover.' The show transitioned between full-band arrangements and an intimate acoustic set featuring songs such as 'UFO' and 'Touching Toes' before concluding with her more upbeat tracks.
