Yesterday marked the electrifying commencement of the much-anticipated GUTS world tour by multi-platinum sensation Olivia Rodrigo. The event unfolded with a mesmerizing sold-out spectacle at Acrisure Arena in Greater Palm Springs, CA.
Stepping onto the stage amidst thunderous cheers from adoring fans, Olivia Rodrigo dazzled in a glittering two-piece ensemble as she launched into her performance of “bad idea, right?” This sensational kickoff set the tone for an unforgettable evening, as she treated the audience to a repertoire of chart-topping hits. From “all-american bitch” to “get him back” and “love is embarrassing,” Olivia delivered an enthralling showcase of tracks from her critically acclaimed, GRAMMY-nominated sophomore album, GUTS, released via Geffen Records on September 8, 2023. Notably, she captivated the crowd with a rendition of the album’s bonus track, “obsessed,” showcasing her musical prowess with a purple guitar.
Accompanied by her dynamic live band and dancers, Olivia Rodrigo also delighted fans with selections from her debut 4x Platinum album, SOUR, including soulful performances of “drivers license” on piano, “deja vu,” and “happier.”
Kicking off the evening’s festivities, singer-songwriter Chappell Roan took to the stage as the opening act, set to join Olivia on several stops throughout the tour. Joining them on select dates will be acclaimed acts such as The Breeders, PinkPantheress, and Remi Wolf, promising an eclectic musical journey for concertgoers.
Building upon the resounding success of her inaugural 2022 tour, The SOUR Tour, the GUTS world tour marks Olivia’s first foray into arena performances, promising to captivate audiences across renowned venues worldwide. From Madison Square Garden to Kia Forum, Sportpaleis, The O2, and beyond, Olivia Rodrigo’s global 75-date tour is set to leave an indelible mark on the music scene.
The tour’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down, with tonight’s show scheduled at Footprint Arena in Phoenix, AZ, before traversing North America, Europe, and the UK. With anticipated stops in Miami, Toronto, New York, London, Manchester, Glasgow, and more, the tour will culminate in four monumental performances at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum this August.
