Olivia Rodrigo news: All you need to know about The Unravelled Tour and her SNL performance
It has been an exciting week for Olivia Rodrigo fans with the announcement of a tour and her appearance on Saturday Night Live, where she performed a song from her upcoming third album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, that no one has heard until now.
She announced that she will be touring again from September 2026, and we might “drop dead” from anticipation.
Here, Music News Blitz’s Amelie Da Costa is here to tell us what we need to know.
Tour announcement
Rodrigo took to Instagram on April 30 to announce ‘The Unravelled Tour’ which is kicking off in Hartford, Connecticut, USA on September 25 2026 and closing in Barcelona, Spain on May 2 2027.
It is set to last around six months and cover the US, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, UK, France, Italy and Spain.
The presale for tickets starts May 5 at 12pm local time until May 6 at 10pm local time via Ticketmaster, AXS, and Amex for those who are American Express Card Members, with general sale starting on May 7 at 12pm local time.
Merch incentive
She also made it so anyone who preorders certain merch and bundles for her third album will get a code for presale tickets, with both free sign up and merch sign up closing on May 4 at 12pm.
Fans will also receive their presale code and ticket link on Monday May 4 at 8pm BST.
For the UK, ticket prices will range from £63.13 seated to £315.98 for VIP and she will be performing at the O2 Arena in London from April 5 to April 9 2027.
There will also be special guests in attendance at all shows, with Grace Ives performing in London as well as other countries from March 19 to April 9.

Special guests
Other special guests include: Devon Again, who will be performing from November 7 2026 to February 16 2027, with The Last Dinner Party joining them from January 12 to February 16, Die Spitz, from April 23 to May 2 and Wolf Alice from September 25 to October 30.
Rodrigo was also a guest host and a musical guest on Saturday Night Live on May 2, where she performed her released single ‘drop dead’ and a song that nobody had heard until that Saturday.
The new song is named ‘begged’ and is set to release on her upcoming third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, dropping on June 12 of this year.
The song is a heartbreaking number which is a style Rodrigo has finessed extraordinarily throughout her career.
It is also different from the single ‘drop dead’ that she released on April 17, which is a love song about a relationship.
She hasn’t clarified that ‘begged’ will be a single on the album or when it will be released, but from the performance, it gives a little sample of the themes of the upcoming album - love and despair all in one, tying in well with the album title.
It looks like her fans are going to be in for an emotional rollercoaster this year with the album and tour, and we can not wait to see what’s next.
