Olivia Rodrigo kicks off The Unraveled Tour: Setlist, dates, opening acts and everything fans need to know
Olivia Rodrigo is officially back on the road and The Unraveled Tour is shaping up to be her biggest live show yet.
The 23-year-old kicked off her third headlining tour at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut, on September 25, beginning a massive global run supporting her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.
Following the huge success of the GUTS World Tour, Rodrigo has scaled things up again, with The Unraveled Tour spanning North America before heading to Europe and the UK in 2027, writes Music News Blitz’s Anna Ferraz.
Rodrigo opens in Hartford
Rodrigo opened the first night with “drop dead,” the lead single from you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, before moving into “u + me = <3.”
The new album naturally dominates the production, but Rodrigo hasn't forgotten the songs that made her one of pop's biggest stars.
Tracks from all three of her albums appear throughout the night, including SOUR favourites “drivers license,” “traitor” and “favorite crime,” alongside GUTS tracks “vampire,” “bad idea right?” and “all-american bitch.”
“good 4 u” also arrives remarkably early in the show, giving fans one of Rodrigo's biggest hits within the opening section.
According to setlist records, the opening concert began at around 8pm and finished at approximately 10pm.
The show moves through the seasons
Rather than simply moving from song to song, The Unraveled Tour is structured around different seasons.
The concert begins with Act I: Spring, followed by Summer, Summer Twilight, Autumn and finally Winter, before Rodrigo returns for an encore.
It gives the production a clear narrative progression while matching the emotional shifts within Rodrigo's music.
Opening-night coverage also highlighted the show's floral imagery and theatrical staging, with Rodrigo combining the rock-heavy energy that characterised the GUTS World Tour with a more elaborate visual concept for this new era.
What is Olivia Rodrigo's Unraveled Tour setlist?
The opening-night Hartford setlist was:
“drop dead”
“u + me = <3”
“so american”
“good 4 u”
“my way”
“serena joy”
“bad idea right?”
“ballad of a homeschooled girl”
“vampire”
“purple”
“stupid song”
“maggots for brains”
“traitor”
“begged”
“cigarette smoke”
“honeybee”
“favorite crime”
“drivers license”
“less”
“the cure”
Encore
“deja vu”
“all-american bitch”
“expectations”
There were a few additional elements on opening night. “deja vu” initially appeared as a video interlude earlier in the concert before Rodrigo performed the song properly during the encore.
Rodrigo also stopped during the Winter section to sing “Happy Birthday” to her mother on opening night, making that moment unique to the Hartford show rather than a standard part of the tour setlist.
As always, fans should remember that setlists can change as a tour progresses.
Old favourites haven't disappeared
Despite touring a new album, Rodrigo has kept a significant selection of songs from SOUR and GUTS in the show.
“drivers license” remains one of the emotional centrepieces, while “good 4 u,” “deja vu” and “traitor” ensure her debut era is still represented.
Meanwhile, “vampire,” “bad idea right?,” “ballad of a homeschooled girl” and the explosive “all-american bitch” keep GUTS firmly in the picture.
The result is less of an album-only tour and more of a three-era Rodrigo show.

Who is opening for Olivia Rodrigo?
Rodrigo has also assembled an impressive group of support acts for different legs of the tour.
Wolf Alice are supporting the first stretch of North American dates, while Devon Again joins selected later North American shows.
When the tour moves to Europe and the UK, Grace Ives will support the Stockholm, Amsterdam, Munich and London dates.
Die Spitz are scheduled for selected European shows including Paris, Milan and Barcelona, while The Last Dinner Party will join Rodrigo for selected major North American dates, including her four-show runs in Los Angeles and Brooklyn.
Support acts vary by city, so fans should check their individual date before attending.
Where is The Unraveled Tour going?
The tour is a huge 65-date run across North America, Europe and the UK.
After two nights in Hartford, Rodrigo heads to Pittsburgh before visiting Washington DC, Charlotte, Chicago, Boston, Montreal, Toronto and Columbus.
November brings stops in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando, Sunrise and Nashville, before the tour heads west in December for Vancouver, Seattle, Oakland, Sacramento and Las Vegas.
Rodrigo then plays four nights at Los Angeles' Intuit Dome on January 12, 13, 16 and 17, 2027.
After that comes another four-night residency, this time at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on February 11, 12, 15 and 16.
Olivia Rodrigo is playing four nights in London
European fans will have their turn beginning in March 2027.
Rodrigo is scheduled to play Stockholm's Avicii Arena on March 19 and 20 before heading to Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome on March 23 and 24.
Munich follows on April 1 and 2 before one of the biggest stops of the entire tour: four nights at London's The O2 on April 5, 6, 8 and 9.
She will then head to Paris on April 23, Milan on April 27 and 28 and Barcelona on May 1 and 2.
Those dates could make The Unraveled Tour one of Rodrigo's most extensive arena runs yet.

Silver Star tickets are returning
Rodrigo is also bringing back her Silver Star ticket initiative after introducing it during the GUTS World Tour.
A limited number of tickets are set to be offered for $20, or the local currency equivalent, plus applicable taxes.
They must be purchased in pairs, with a maximum of two tickets per order. The catch is that fans won't know exactly where they're sitting until collecting their tickets from the venue box office on the day of the concert.
Seats can potentially range from floor locations to upper levels and limited-view areas.
A portion of Rodrigo's proceeds from ticket sales will also support her Fund 4 Good initiative, which works with community organisations supporting women and girls.
A bigger Olivia Rodrigo live show
The expectations surrounding The Unraveled Tour were always going to be enormous.
Rodrigo's previous GUTS World Tour grew into a global phenomenon, ultimately reaching more than 20 countries and establishing her as a major arena and festival performer.
This time, she's arriving with three albums to choose from and a show designed around an entirely new visual world.
Opening night suggests Rodrigo isn't abandoning the guitar-heavy, chaotic energy that made her previous tour so successful. Instead, she's building on it.
With a two-hour show, music spanning SOUR, GUTS and you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, five distinct acts and some of her biggest venues to date, The Unraveled Tour marks another major step forward for Rodrigo as a live performer.
And with the tour only just beginning, Hartford has given fans their first look at what the next several months of Olivia Rodrigo's latest era will look like.
