Olivia Rodrigo is taking her new album “Guts” on the road for the second tour of her fast-rising career. The trek launches in California in February and stretches across North America for six weeks before moving to Europe, then returns to North America in May before concluding in Rodrigo’s home of Los Angeles on August 14.
Pre-sale tickets go live on Ticketmaster on Sept. 20 at 3 p.m. ET. Register here by Sept. 17 at 10 p.m. ET for the chance to receive a code for the sale.
The tour features an inspired selection of opening acts, all of them female and three of them young: British dance-pop singer PinkPantheress; L.A.-based pop singer Chappell Roan, whose debut album is out next week; California pop-rock singer Remi Wolf on all European dates; and veteran alt-rock act the Breeders, led by ex-Pixies singer Kim Deal, who are best known for the string of radio and video hits stemming from their 1993 album “Last Splash.” The latter choice seems unusual but is actually on brand for Rodrigo: During Rodrigo’s debut tour last year, the singer covered the Veruca Salt song “Seether,” from the same era, which she told audiences “came out before I was born” but her mom introduced her to.
The Breeders are featured only on the New York and Los Angeles dates. Rodrigo performed “Vampire” and “Get Him Back!” at MTV’s Video Music Awards on Tuesday night, following Lil Wayne as the second performer of the evening.
