Olivia Rodrigo Just Kicked Off Her Wildest Tour Yet — And Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over One Jaw-Dropping Moment
Olivia Rodrigo has officially launched her third headlining run, and opening night alone delivered enough drama, spectacle, and surprises to keep fans talking for days. From a stunning mid-song wardrobe transformation to a career-spanning setlist packed with deep cuts, here’s a detailed breakdown of the tour that’s already dominating social media.
Olivia Rodrigo Unraveled Tour Setlist
Yes, the complete opening-night setlist has been revealed, and it runs 23 songs deep across six seasonal acts. The show drew from all three of Rodrigo’s albums — Sour, Guts, and her newest record, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love — staged inside an elaborate set covered in wildflowers, with lighting and backdrops shifting to reflect each “season” as the show progressed.
Here’s the full act-by-act breakdown from Hartford:
Act 1: Spring
Drop Dead
U + Me = <3
So American
Good 4 U
Act 2: Summer 5. My Way 6. Serena Joy 7. Bad Idea Right? 8. Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl
Act 3: Summer Twilight 9. Vampire 10. Purple
Act 4: Autumn 11. Stupid Song 12. Maggots for Brains 13. Traitor 14. Begged 15. Cigarette Smoke
Act 5: Winter 16. Honeybee 17. Favorite Crime / Making the Bed / Teenage Dream (medley) 18. Driver’s License 19. Less 20. The Cure
Act 6: Spring 2 21. Deja Vu 22. All-American Bitch 23. Expectations
Interestingly, “What’s Wrong With Me” — one of the most talked-about tracks from her newest record — was the sole omission from her latest album on opening night, a choice that surprised some longtime fans given how prominently the song features Robert Smith of The Cure. It’s possible the track’s absence has to do with logistics around that guest appearance, though nothing has been confirmed. Attendees and setlist trackers have also noted that the show is being updated live city to city, meaning the exact lineup and act order could shift slightly as the tour progresses — something fans holding tickets to later dates should keep in mind before assuming this exact sequence will repeat.
What Is The Unraveled Tour, And Why Is Everyone Talking About It?
The Unraveled Tour marks Rodrigo’s third full concert run, following the Sour Tour in 2022 and the sprawling, five-continent Guts World Tour in 2024–2025. This new outing is built entirely around her latest album, released in June 2026, and officially kicked off on September 25 at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut — a sold-out show that also marked the first of two consecutive nights in the city.
The tour’s name is pulled directly from a lyric in “The Cure,” where Rodrigo repeats the line “I’m unraveled” throughout the song’s bridge. That theme of coming undone — emotionally, visually, and structurally — runs through the entire production, from the flower-strewn staging to the show’s unconventional seasonal storytelling arc, which unfolds more like a narrative than a traditional set list.
The Viral Moment Nobody Saw Coming
The single biggest talking point from opening night had nothing to do with the music itself. During her performance of “The Cure,” as artificial rain poured down across the stage, Rodrigo’s dress appeared to dramatically dissolve, revealing a striking red dress underneath in what looked like a seamless, instantaneous quick-change. Fans in the arena reportedly gasped audibly as it happened, and within minutes, clips of the transformation were circulating widely across TikTok, X, and Instagram.
The effect has since been described by entertainment outlets as one of the most technically impressive stage illusions of Rodrigo’s career to date, and it’s already overshadowing even the setlist reveal in early online reactions. Given how central the moment has become to the tour’s opening buzz, it seems likely similar visual surprises are being planned for later stops — though Rodrigo’s team has not indicated whether the exact effect will repeat at every show or evolve as the tour continues.
Where Is The Tour Headed Next?
The scale of the Unraveled Tour is significant — 86 shows in total, stretching across North America through February 2027 before crossing the Atlantic for a European leg running into May 2027. After wrapping two nights in Hartford, the tour makes its way through:
Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., Charlotte, Chicago, Boston, Montreal, and Toronto throughout October
Columbus, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Orlando, Sunrise (Florida), and Nashville through November
Vancouver, Seattle, Oakland, Sacramento, and Las Vegas in December
A extended 10-night residency at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome in January
A matching 10-night residency at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in February
From there, Rodrigo heads overseas for stops in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Munich, and Paris, followed by Milan and Barcelona, before closing out the entire tour with an extended multi-night run back at London’s O2 Arena in spring 2027 — a fitting bookend given how much of her international fanbase has grown in the UK and Europe since her debut.
Who’s Opening For Olivia Rodrigo?
Wolf Alice has the opening slot locked in through the end of October, after which Devon Again steps in for the remainder of the North American leg. Once the tour crosses into Europe, the opening lineup shifts again, bringing in a rotating cast that includes The Last Dinner Party, Grace Ives, and Die Spitz across various dates. The variety in openers suggests Rodrigo and her team are deliberately spotlighting a range of rising acts across different scenes and countries, rather than sticking with a single support act for the entire run.
Are Tickets Still Affordable?
One detail that’s kept the tour accessible despite overwhelming demand is Rodrigo’s continuation of an initiative she first introduced during the Guts tour: setting aside a limited batch of tickets priced at just $20 for every single show. It’s a move that stands in sharp contrast to the broader arena touring landscape, where resale prices for major pop tours routinely climb into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Even with the $20 ticket program in place, though, secondary market prices for the Unraveled Tour have reportedly spiked well above face value in the days following the on-sale, driven by the tour’s rapid sellouts in market after market.
What Makes This Tour Different From Guts And Sour?
Compared to her previous two tours, the Unraveled Tour appears to be Rodrigo’s most conceptually ambitious yet. Where the Guts World Tour leaned heavily into raw, high-energy performance and the Sour Tour was built around a more stripped-down introduction to her artistry, this new production is structured almost like a theatrical piece — divided into distinct seasonal acts, each with its own visual identity, pacing, and emotional register. The inclusion of a medley segment, an extended string intro, and a dramatic costume-change illusion all point to a show designed with far more elaborate staging than her earlier tours attempted.
Conclusion
Olivia Rodrigo’s Unraveled Tour has only just begun, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about pop tours of the year. Between its ambitious seasonal staging concept, a 23-song setlist spanning her entire discography, and a viral wardrobe moment that instantly became the show’s signature image, opening night in Hartford set an extremely high bar. With dozens of dates still to come across North America and Europe — plus two extended residencies and a run of European festival-style openers — fans have plenty of reason to expect even more surprises before the tour finally wraps in spring 2027.
