Dean said of the tour: “I\u2019m so excited to return to Australia & New Zealand! Thank you so much for all your support over the last few years, I can\u2019t wait to celebrate with you soon!”<\/p>\n
In New Zealand, Dean has spent 21 weeks simultaneously atop both the official singles and album charts, the longest run in the country’s chart history. Dean’s hit song Man I Need spent 31 non-consecutive weeks at number one, a New Zealand record, and is now certified six-times platinum.<\/p>\n
The Art of Loving has spent 23 non-consecutive weeks at number one and sits four-times platinum.<\/p>\n
New Zealand was also early on The Hardest Part, and became the first market to certify her Gold for the hit, which has since climbed to three-times platinum.<\/p>\n

Dean’s style is known for blending soul, pop and classic singer-songwriter structures with diaristic detail. <\/p>\n
The first event at the new Western Springs Bowl was a NPC rugby fixture between Wellington and Auckland at the weekend. <\/p>\n
The four-month, $2.5 million transformation was funded from venue owner-operator T\u0101taki Auckland Unlimited’s existing capital budget at no additional cost to ratepayers.<\/p>\n
Western Springs Bowl will have the ability to host concerts and festivals of 15,000 to 30,000 people over summer, before switching to a boutique sports stadium for crowds of up to 5000, including NPC rugby.<\/p>\n
The changes come after the Western Springs Speedway Association (WSSA) was forced from Western Springs after nearly 100 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Olivia Dean has announced her show on October 17 in Auckland has moved from Spark Arena to Western…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":565510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[51,42,157,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-565509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-auckland","tag-headlines","tag-music","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/565510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
