In the midst of a pandemic that felt as though it would never end, one former Disney star careered into the pop charts and the hearts of teenage girls everywhere. Olivia Rodrigo’s her name, and she’s followed up the success of debut album Sour with the equally pop punk-tastic Guts, a fun collection of twentysomething travails underpinned by a punchy sound. 

A world tour has been announced hot on the heels of Guts’ release, with a handful of UK arena dates planned for May 2024. We’re not quite in Swiftie territory, but these tickets are going to break the internet when they go on sale.

When do tickets for Olivia Rodrigo go on sale?

Fans can register for tickets now until 10am on Sunday 17 September via this link for onsale day. Once registration closes, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to the general sale starting Thursday 21 September. 

Where can I buy tickets for Rodrigo’s tour?

Registration for tickets is available exclusively through her official site, but tickets themselves will be available from Live Nation, Ticketmaster and AXS. 

How do I register for tickets?

Here’s an extract from Ticketmaster’s blog detailing how to register for tickets: 

‘Simply fill out the registration form for your preferred show(s). You may only register once in each country. You will receive an email confirmation for each registration you complete.

‘Next, you’ll receive an email from 15:00 on Tuesday 19 September and one of two things will happen:

‘A) If you’ve been randomly selected to access the sale, you will receive a unique code via email the day before the sale begins. The number of fans who receive access depends on the number of tickets available. Note: Codes only work with your account; they cannot be bought or sold. 

‘B) If you’ve been waitlisted you may be randomly selected to join the sale if tickets remain. You’ll be notified via email if that happens.’

How much will tickets cost?

According to a press release from Live Nation, tickets in the US will cost from ‘$49.50 - $199.50’. Expect tickets in the UK to have a comparable price point. 

Who’ll be supporting Rodrigo on tour?

In the UK, the Guts world tour will feature support from Californian singer-songwriter Remi Wolf. She’s a soul-pop crossover with a powerhouse voice whose songs ‘Photo ID’ and ‘Disco Man’ have been viral sensations. 

Have a listen to her latest single ‘Prescription’ below:

Across the globe, Rodrigo will also be supported by the likes of PinkPantheress, Chappell Roan and The Breeders (expect to see Kim Deal t shirts at a Primark near you when Rodrigo's Gen Z fanbase discover ‘Cannonball’ for the first time). 

What’ll be on Rodrigo’s setlist?

With only two albums to her name, it’s a safe bet to assume everyone is going to hear the songs they want from Rodrigo. Sour and Guts have both yielded a raft of pop bangers that should make this a hit after hit spectacular, so expect ‘Vampire’, ‘Bad idea right?’ and ‘Driver’s License’ in quick succession, and maybe even a few ditties from High School Musical: The Series (although that may well be equivalent to hearing David Bowie perform ’The Laughing Gnome'). 

Is Guts any good?

The praise heaped on Guts has been superlative, in part because of its punchy hooks but also because of its palpable devil-may-care attitude and regularly funny lyrics. When the hype dies down, discerning eyes will probably notice that Rodrigo's second album is too frontloaded for its own good, its drudging melodic sections and bad breakup whinges buried in the second half. But its fun while the energy lasts, sprinkling the skater pop sound of the early 2000s with an appealing topping of teen angst.

Any other gossip on Rodrigo? 

Like Tay-Tay, Ice Spice, and a variety of other two syllable US pop acts, Rodrigo’s fanbase tends to thrive on the gossip-mongering internecine warfare between pop stars and exes. But amidst fan accounts speculating that ‘Vampire’ details a feud with Taylor Swift or the accusations of plagiarism that have swirled around her since the Sour era, Rodrigo’s showstopping performance at the VMA’s has cemented her skills as an arena performer, exemplifying the theatrical pomp she’ll wheel out live. Check it out below:
