Last Dinner Party join Rodrigo’s tour

Olivia Rodrigo’s tour news is really two stories at once. One is about Rodrigo turning a big arena run into an even bigger one after presale demand spiked. The other is about who gets pulled into that orbit — and The Last Dinner Party are one of the clearest beneficiaries. They’ve been tapped as a support act on selected dates of the Unraveled Tour, which now stretches across North America, Europe, and the UK. (newsroom.livenation.com) ### What actually changed for this tour? The first version of the Unraveled Tour was announced on April 30 as a 65-date run behind Rodrigo’s third album, *you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love*, due June 12, 2026. Then demand hit fast. By May 7, 16 more shows had been added, bringing the tour to 81 dates. The extra nights landed in Boston, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Barcelona. (newsroom.livenation.com) ### Where do The Last Dinner Party fit in? They’re one of five support acts attached to the tour, alongside Wolf Alice, Grace Ives, Devon Again, and Die Spitz. The key detail is “select dates.” This is not a full-tour opening slot. Rodrigo’s team is rotating openers by market and leg, which is common on giant arena runs because it lets the headliner match different scenes, sounds, and audiences across regions. (newsroom.livenation.com) ### Why is that a big deal? Because Rodrigo is not booking theaters here. She’s booking a long, multi-continent arena tour with repeat nights in major cities. Even before the expansion, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and London were set for four-night stands. After the expansion, those runs got even longer. That kind of routing puts any support act in front of a huge number of people, night after night, in markets that can change a band’s trajectory. (newsroom.livenation.com) ### Why The Last Dinner Party specifically? They make sense as a bridge act. Rodrigo’s audience is pop-heavy, but it overlaps with listeners who like theatrical indie rock, strong visuals, and a little melodrama. That is basically The Last Dinner Party’s lane. A support slot like this work(newsroom.livenation.com)s an inference from the billing and audience overlap, not a stated reason from the tour announcement. (newsroom.livenation.com) ### What does the ticket picture tell us? It tells you the demand is real. Rodrigo’s official tour page listed general onsale beginning Thursday, May 7 at 12 p.m. local time, and many dates were already showing sold out or waitlist status on the official page shortly after launch. That helps explain why the expansion happened almost immediately. (shopde.oliviarodrigo.com) ### Is this just a nice résumé line? No — it’s more than that. Arena support slots are one of the fastest ways for a rising band to widen its audience beyond early adopters and music-media buzz. You get repetition, scale, and association all at once. The Last Dinner Party already had attention; this kind of tour can turn attention into mainstream familiarity. (newsroom.livenation.

The Last Dinner Party just landed a support role on one of 2026’s largest pop outings — and that is exactly the kind of opening slot that can move a band up a tier. (newsroom.livenation.com)
