Olivia Rodrigo opened her "Unraveled" tour on Friday night at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut, playing a 19-song setlist drawn from across her three albums.
The 86-date tour supports Rodrigo's third album, "You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love," released this past June. After a second night in Hartford, the pop singer moves across North America through February 2027, finishing with a 10-night run split between Los Angeles' Intuit Dome and New York City's Barclays Center.
In March, Rodrigo heads to Europe for shows in Amsterdam, Munich and Barcelona, then closes the tour with two nights at London's O2 Arena.
Wolf Alice opens the tour through the end of October. Devon Again takes over for the remaining North American dates, and The Last Dinner Party joins Devon Again as support beginning in January. On the European leg, Grace Ives opens until April 12, with Die Spitz finishing out the run.
The opening-night setlist leaned heavily on the new album. Rodrigo opened with "Drop Dead," followed by "U + Me = <3" and "So American." Early in the set she reached back to her debut with "Good 4 U" and "Deja Vu." New tracks "Serena Joy," "Bad Idea Right," "My Way," "Purple," "Stupid Song," "Maggots for Brains" and "Cigarette Smoke" filled out the middle of the show, alongside "Traitor," "Begged" and "Favorite Crime." She closed the main set sequence with "Drivers License."
The "Unraveled" tour is Rodrigo's third, following "Sour" in 2022 and "Guts" in 2024-2025. "Guts" remains her longest run: 102 shows across five continents. It is currently unknown whether Rodrigo will add dates in Asia, Australia or South America to the current itinerary.
The singer warmed up for the trek this past August with her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields music festival. Rodrigo curated the women-only lineup herself, booking Chappell Roan, Doechii and Garbage, and closed the event with her own performance featuring guest appearances from Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan and Stevie Nicks. All net proceeds went to charities supporting and advocating for women and girls. As the evening ended, Melinda Gates matched the $10 million already raised, bringing the total to $20 million.
With Hartford in the books, the tour now moves through North America for the better part of 18 months — and the open question of additional continents will likely sharpen once the European leg wraps at the O2.
