Olivia Rodrigo announces Unraveled tour

Olivia Rodrigo is moving fast from album rollout to full arena campaign. She announced The Unraveled Tour on April 30 — a 65-date run across North America, Europe, and the UK built around her third album, *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love*, which arrives June 12. That matters because this is not a one-off promo swing or a festival add-on. It looks like the next big Olivia Rodrigo era, with a long runway, multiple-night city plays, and a ticket rollout that starts this week. ### What exactly did she announce? The core news is simple — Rodrigo locked in a global tour with 65 dates. Live Nation’s announcement says the run will cover North America first, then Europe and the UK, and it is explicitly tied to the new album. The first show is set for September 25, 2026, in Hartford, Connecticut. ### Why is this bigger than a normal album tour? Because the scale tells you what kind of cycle her team thinks this album can support. A 65-date run is a major commitment, not a cautious test. The routing also includes multi-night stops in big markets — the kind of scheduling artists use when demand is expected to be deep enough to fill more than one arena date in the same city. ### Where is she actually going? The early routing starts in Hartford and runs through North America with stops including Washington, Chicago, Atlanta, Nashville, Vancouver, Oakland, Las Vegas, Montreal, Philadelphia, Orlando, Seattle, and New York-area dates at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. After that, the tour continues into Europe and the UK, with cities including Stockholm, Paris, Milan, and Barcelona. ### Who’s opening? This part is unusually stacked. Select dates will feature Devon Again, Die Spitz, Grace Ives, the Last Dinner Party, and Wolf Alice. That lineup matters because it gives the tour a sharper identity — less generic support slot, more curated alt-pop and indie-rock ecosystem around Rodrigo’s new material. ### When do tickets go on sale? The sales window is already here. Presales began Tuesday, May 5, and run through Wednesday, May 6, with general onsale starting Thursday, May 7 at 12 p.m. local time. For at least some dates, Ticketmaster says there is a 4-ticket limit, and official pages note that price details may not appear until sales begin. ### How does the album fit into this? Pretty directly. The tour is built to follow the June 12 release of *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love*, which means Rodrigo gets a full summer for singles, performances, and fan buildup before the live run starts in late September. Basically, the album lands first, then the arena leg converts that attention into a long global campaign. ### Is this a step up from the last era? It looks like one. The catch is that “bigger” here is not just more dates — it’s the structure. Longer timeline, broader geography, and more obvious arena-scale ambition. Even without getting lost in comparisons, the message is clear: Rodrigo is not treating this album as a modest follow-up. She’s treating it like a centerpiece release. ### So what’s the real takeaway? This announcement turns a new-album reveal into something much more concrete. Fans now have dates, cities, support acts, and a near-term ticket clock. And for Rodrigo, that’s the point — The Unraveled Tour makes the next era feel real because it gives the music a physical shape.
