Olivia Dean confirms intimate charity concert at Albert Hall - when is it and how to get tickets

The 26-year-old singer-songwriter will perform at the Albert Hall in Manchester on February 26, with all proceeds going to War Child, the charity supporting children affected by conflict around the world.

Other newly announced Brits Week shows include Spiritualized, who will headline at Earth Theatre in Hackney on 18 February, and indie band The K’s, who will play Gorilla in Manchester two days later.

The announcements come after confirmation earlier this week that Harry Styles will perform at Manchester’s Co-op Live during the Brit Awards ceremony on February 28.

Clare Sanders-Wright, War Child’s head of live music, said: “Brits Week for War Child wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of the artists, their teams and our partners.

“Twenty per cent of the world’s children are living through conflict right now, and the money raised from these shows will help us protect, educate and stand up for as many of them as possible.

“Because no child should be a part of war. Ever.”

Dean has enjoyed major success in recent years, scoring two UK top 10 albums with Messy in 2023 and The Art Of Loving in 2025. The latter reached number one. Her chart-topping single Man I Need is among her best-known tracks, alongside Nice To Each Other, So Easy (To Fall In Love) and A Couple Minutes.

Spiritualized have also seen significant chart success, with three UK top 10 albums. Their 1997 release Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space won NME’s album of the year, beating Radiohead’s OK Computer and The Verve’s Urban Hymns.

Led by J Spaceman, real name Jason Pierce, the band formed after the break-up of influential 1980s group Spacemen 3. Their best-known songs include Come Together, I Think I’m In Love and Electricity.
