International superstar Olivia Dean to perform at the 2025 ARIA Awards
ARIA is thrilled to announce that global superstar Olivia Dean will take the stage at the 2025 ARIA Awards in partnership with Spotify on Wednesday 19, November at Sydney’s Hordern Pavillion, delivering one of the year’s most anticipated live performances.
Olivia Dean will join an A list line up of international artists that have performed at the ARIA Awards including Alicia Keys, Ava Max, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Kane Brown, Khalid, Lorde, One Direction, Robbie Williams, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift and The Pixies.
With over 4.5 billion global streams and 236 million career streams in Australia alone, Olivia has quickly become one of the most celebrated voices of her generation. Australia has embraced her wholeheartedly, ranking as her third biggest market worldwide for streaming consumption, behind only the UK and US. Sydney and Melbourne are home to two of her largest fan bases globally, with more than 620,000 monthly listeners in Sydney and 500,000 in Melbourne on Spotify.
Olivia’s debut album Messy peaked at #4 on the UK Albums Chart and earned a nomination for the 2023 Mercury Prize, while the British star went on to secure nods for Best Pop Act, Best New Artist, and British Artist of the Year at the 2024 BRIT Awards. Now she is ready to usher in a new era with her highly anticipated second album, The Art of Loving, released on Friday.
Already, the record is making waves in Australia. Lead single Nice To Each Other climbed to #18 on the ARIA Singles Chart, while follow-up single Man I Need has exploded to #2 and is on track to go Platinum within the next two weeks. Her catalogue boasts multiple certified hits in Australia, including Platinum singles The Hardest Part and Dive, as well as Gold certifications for Ok Love You Bye, Nice To Each Other, and Man I Need.
Olivia’s powerful connection with Australian audiences is undeniable. Her debut Australian tour earlier this year, including Laneway Festival and sold-out headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne, saw tickets snapped up in under an hour. Looking ahead, her newly announced Australian Arena Tour for October 2026 has already seen second shows added in Sydney and Melbourne to meet demand. The night after taking to the ARIA Awards stage, Dean will perform to a sold-out crowd for a one-night-only outdoor show set against the harbour at The Fleet Steps, Mrs Macquaries Point, Sydney.
From her Mercury Prize recognition to sold-out shows worldwide, Olivia Dean is a global force redefining pop music. Her performance at the 2025 ARIA Awards promises to be a defining moment in a career that continues to soar.
Olivia Dean said, “I love Australia and I’m so excited to perform at the 2025 ARIA Awards. This will be my first time at the awards ceremony, it’s going to be lots of fun!”
Winners will be crowned on Wednesday, 19 November at the iconic Hordern Pavilion on Gadigal land. Artists will be celebrated across 29 categories, including the 2025 ARIA Hall of Fame inductee: You Am I.
The ARIA Awards in partnership with Spotify will be live on Paramount+ and broadcast on 10. Performances and moments also available on the @ARIA.official YouTube channel.
More performers and presenters will be announced at a later date.
