Pop stardom happens fast these days.
Two new one-hit wonders who delivered a couple of the biggest songs of 2025 — Alex Warren and Olivia Dean — are going to headline separate Twin Cities arena concerts next July.
Warren will perform July 2 at Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul as part of his Little Orphan Alex Tour.
Dean is headed to Target Center in Minneapolis on July 29 on her Art of Loving Live Tour.
Warren’s “Ordinary” spent 10 weeks at No. 1 in the United States, topping 1.2 billion streams on Spotify and helping him earn a Grammy nomination for best new artist.
Warren tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Nov. 21 but there are presale opportunities for Citi card and Verizon customers.
Warren performed in May at the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis.
Dean is riding high these days thanks to her appearance this weekend on “Saturday Night Live” and her popular “Man I Need,” which peaked at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and has garnered 340 million Spotify spins.
