Here’s what Olivia Rodrigo played as she kicked off the ‘Unraveled’ tour

Translate

Olivia Rodrigo has kicked off her huge ‘Unraveled’ world tour in Connecticut – check out the full setlist below.

The singer began the tour at Hartford’s PeoplesBank Arena last night (September 25), with Wolf Alice serving as special guests.

The two-hour show was based around six seasonal acts – ‘Spring’, ‘Summer’, ‘Summer Twilight’, ‘Autumn’, ‘Winter’ and a second ‘Spring’ section – and drew heavily from Rodrigo’s third album, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’.

She opened with the album’s lead single ‘Drop Dead’, followed by ‘U + Me = <3’, before early hits ‘So American’ and ‘Good 4 U’.

She also performed the politically charged standalone single ‘Serena Joy’, which was released last month after having been initially made available on an exclusive run of just 500 CDs.

Rodrigo also briefly broke from the setlist to lead the arena in a rendition of ‘Happy Birthday’ for her mother.

The biggest production moment arrived during ‘The Cure’. Artificial rain poured over Rodrigo as her white dress appeared to dissolve away, revealing a red outfit underneath before she launched into the closing stretch of the show, including a three-song finale of ‘Deja Vu’, ‘All-American Bitch’ and ‘Expectations’.

The ‘Unraveled Tour’ was announced in April, with special guests across the run also including The Last Dinner Party, Devon Again, Grace Ives and Die Spitz.

Demand has since led to numerous extra dates, including an extended UK-exclusive residency at The O2 in London. Rodrigo is currently scheduled to play 11 nights at the venue between April 5 and May 10, 2027.

The tour supports ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’, which arrived in June and received a four-and-a-half-star review from NME.

“Here is a major popstar who is not afraid to get weirder and more wonderful, to give even more of themselves over in their art,” the review read. “‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’ is undeniable evidence of Rodrigo’s growth: as a songwriter, composer, and as a human being.”

Last month, Rodrigo also staged the inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival in California, raising $10million (£7.4million) for organisations supporting women and girls.

During her headline set, she was joined by Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morissette and Sarah McLachlan, performing ‘Landslide’, ‘Ironic’, ‘Building A Mystery’ and ‘Angel’.
