Show moreOlivia Rodrigo Announces Massive ‘Unraveled’ Tour Dates
Olivia Rodrigo has officially announced her upcoming major concert series, "The Unraveled Tour," which will span 65 dates across North America, Europe, and the UK. This extensive tour supports her forthcoming third studio album, "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love," scheduled for release on June 12, 2026, through Geffen Records. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour is set to kick off on September 25 at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut. The itinerary includes multi-night stops in key cities such as Washington, D.C., Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Vancouver, Oakland, Las Vegas, Stockholm, Paris, and Milan. A rotating lineup of supporting acts—including Devon Again, Die Spitz, Grace Ives, The Last Dinner Party, and Wolf Alice—will appear on select dates, offering diverse musical experiences throughout the tour's lengthy run. Industry experts have noted that such a broad geographic sweep, combined with a variety of openers, reflects Rodrigo's strategy to maximize audience reach and create unique show experiences for each market.
Fans will have multiple opportunities to secure tickets through a tiered presale system designed to accommodate different buyer groups. American Express cardholders can participate in an early presale running from Tuesday, May 5, at 12 p.m. local time through Wednesday, May 6, at 10 p.m. local time, while supplies last. For European shows, fans can register by pre-ordering the new album or signing up without any purchase requirement—existing pre-order customers will automatically receive a code. The general on-sale for both North America and Europe launches on Thursday, May 7, at 12 p.m. local time. In the UK, an O2 presale begins on Tuesday, May 5, at 10 a.m. local time, with similar album pre-order registration options; the general UK on-sale also starts on May 7 at 12 p.m. local time. Notably, Rodrigo is reintroducing her Silver Star Tickets program, which offers a limited number of $20 tickets (or local currency equivalent, plus taxes) at a later date. First introduced during her "Guts" world tour, this initiative aims to improve accessibility by requiring purchases in pairs (max two per order), with seat locations—which may include limited-view, lower, upper, or floor seating—revealed at venue box office pickup on show day. Music accessibility advocates have praised this program as a meaningful step toward making live events more inclusive, particularly for younger fans who face rising concert costs, though some have called for even greater transparency in seat allocation.
VIP packages and premium experiences will also be available for "The Unraveled Tour," alongside Rodrigo's ongoing Fund 4 Good initiative. This global fund supports community-based nonprofits focused on building an equitable future for women and girls, with past donations backing causes like girls' education, reproductive rights, and preventing gender-based violence. A portion of ticket sale proceeds will benefit the fund, reflecting Rodrigo's broader advocacy work. The singer, whose 2021 debut album 'Sour' spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned her three Grammy Awards, is set to appear on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon" tonight (April 30) and will make her hosting debut as double-duty host and musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend, May 2. The full tour schedule, running from September 2025 through May 2026, includes multi-night stands at venues like Los Angeles' Intuit Dome—a state-of-the-art arena opened in 2024 that seats up to 18,000—and London's The O2, one of the world's busiest entertainment venues, where Rodrigo will play four consecutive nights in April 2026. Music industry analysts note that such extended runs at major arenas signal Rodrigo's growing stature as a live performer, following the commercial and critical success of her 'Guts' tour, which grossed over $150 million worldwide according to Billboard Boxscore reports. The 'Guts' tour, which ran from 2024 to 2025, was praised for its high-energy production and emotional depth, setting a high bar for this upcoming series.
