Rising star Olivia Dean hit the road this summer for a very special tour, which saw her and her band bringing socially distanced live performances across the country by performing from a bright yellow truck.
After blowing fans away with her flawless online performances in lockdown for the likes of Mulburry, La Blogotheque, Barclaycard Share The Stage and more, Olivia was inspired by the huge community spirit we’ve seen over the past few months and wanted to spread some much-needed joy and sunshine, with a taste of our favourite summer events like festivals and carnival.
In partnership with Clarks, The From Me To You tour took place in open outdoor spaces where fans and passers-by could safely enjoy Olivia’s gorgeously soulful performances from a distance, with the huge yellow truck, painted by @brokenfingaz, as her stage. Olivia visited our country’s finest local venues, independent record shops and had some help from some special musical guests along the way.
In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the desert boot, Clarks joined Olivia on the road to give out the boots to her fans, and school shoes to the areas she’ll be visiting.

The tour gathered unprecedented coverage and saw Olivia twice on BBC News and performing from the Clark’s truck for Blue Peter.
