I was thrilled when I found out Olivia Dean, one of my favourite artists, was coming to New Zealand. I eagerly clicked on the site to buy tickets for her Auckland show, only to find that they were sold out in an extraordinary time of just 10 minutes! I was not alone; countless fans faced the same disappointment.

Olivia Dean has captured hearts worldwide with her soulful voice and powerful performances. The incredible demand for her concert tickets highlights how much she's beloved by fans here in New Zealand. While it's fantastic that she's visiting, the sold-out show in Auckland means many of us in Christchurch and beyond are missing out on the experience of seeing her perform live.

The demand is undeniable. Crowds from Christchurch and nearby areas are hungry for a chance to attend her concert. A second show would allow Olivia to connect with even more fans who are eager to hear her sing, and it would be a fair opportunity for those who couldn't secure tickets in Auckland.

This additional show is not just a personal dream for me but a wonderful opportunity for our vibrant city to welcome Olivia Dean and celebrate her music in style. We have the venues and the enthusiastic audience – all it takes is some consideration from Olivia's team to make it happen!

This is why I urge Olivia Dean, her management team, and the organisers to consider adding a second concert date in Christchurch. It would be a chance to meet the high demand and bring joy to numerous fans who've yet to experience the magic of Olivia Dean live on stage.
