Olivia Rodrigo takes The O2 arena as a residency from 5 April to 10 May 2027 on The Unraveled Tour, with no other British date.
Olivia Rodrigo was born in Murrieta, California in 2003, spent her adolescence acting on children’s television, and in January 2021 released “drivers license”, which went to number one in more or less every country that has a chart and stayed there. Sour followed within months. Guts, in 2023, was the harder, funnier, more guitar-driven record that settled the question of whether she was a songwriter or a product, and the tour behind it filled arenas everywhere.
She writes about being young without condescending to it, borrows openly from 1990s alternative rock, and has been unusually blunt in public about the business she works in. She is twenty-three. Sour won three Grammys including best pop vocal album, and Guts made her one of the few artists of her age filling arenas on guitar records rather than on production.
The Unraveled Tour carries the third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, and Britain gets a residency rather than a tour stop: The O2 arena from Monday 5 April to Monday 10 May 2027, and no other date in the country. Every British ticket resolves to one room across five weeks. Grace Ives opens until the twelfth of April, Die Spitz from the fourteenth. Five weeks in one building is a scale of booking London sees perhaps once a decade.
