Olivia Dean Live In Sydney: Set Times, Set List, And How To Get There

She's a style icon, an overnight success, and the soundtrack for anyone falling in love across the world—the queen, Miss Olivia Dean, lands in Sydney this weekend. If you were lucky enough to get through that stacked ticket queue and score a spot, we salute you. If you weren't, we apologise—this one's going to hurt. 

Here's everything you need to know before heading out to the Afterpay Arena, so you can rock up in time (and hopefully get the best seat in the house).

How Do I Get To Afterpay Arena?

Livvie’s trading harbour views for an arena-sized singalong this time around. Olivia Dean brings The Art of Loving tour to Afterpay Arena, formerly Qudos Bank Arena, on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 October 2026. You’ll find it at Sydney Olympic Park, a short walk from Olympic Park station.

Public transport is your best bet, but your route might look a little different depending on which night you’re heading along.

For Friday’s show, trains run regularly between Lidcombe and Olympic Park. From the station, follow your fellow fans towards the arena.

For Saturday’s show, trackwork means you’ll need to plan ahead. If you’re travelling from the west, buses replace trains between Parramatta and Olympic Park, so you’ll need to finish your journey on a replacement bus. Coming from the city? Catch a T1 or T2 service running directly to Olympic Park. Either way, leave a little extra time—you want to be singing Messy, not living it.

Driving instead? P1 parking is already sold out for Saturday 10 October. Pre-book another available car park to guarantee a space, with bookings closing at 11.59pm the night before your show, unless sold out earlier.

Saturday’s going to be particularly busy, with Monster Jam also taking over neighbouring Accor Stadium. Factor in extra time for traffic, transport and getting through the crowds.

What Time Should I Arrive?

Leave yourself plenty of time to clock off, get dolled up and make your way to Olympic Park. Afterpay Arena currently lists the following timings for both nights:

• 5.30pm: Box office opens
• 6.30pm: External doors open
• 7pm: Internal doors open
• 7.30pm: Show starts

That’s the show start rather than a separately confirmed Olivia stage time, so we’d recommend arriving for doors and settling in early. Check the venue’s event page again before heading out for any updates.

The arena is cashless, so bring your card or phone for payments. Backpacks aren’t permitted, regardless of size, and we’d keep any handbag to A5-sized (20cm x 15cm) to meet the stricter of the published bag limits. Consider it an excuse to leave the work tote at home.

The Set List: What To Expect

If you haven’t been blasting The Art of Loving already...what are you doing? With a tour built around her second album, there’s plenty of homework to get through—and fortunately, it’s the kind you’ll actually enjoy.

Here’s the setlist we’re using as our guide:

• The Art Of Loving (Intro)
• Nice To Each Other
