Olivia Rodrigo has officially entered the live chapter of her latest album era, kicking off The Unraveled Tour Friday night, September 25, at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut.
The Grammy-winning singer opened the 2026 tour with the first of two consecutive Hartford concerts. She is scheduled to return to the arena Saturday, September 26, with Wolf Alice serving as the special guest for both shows.
The opening concert marks the transition from Rodrigo’s new album campaign to a full arena tour, giving fans their first major opportunity to hear songs from you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love performed as part of a large-scale live production.
Olivia Rodrigo’s Unraveled Tour Begins in Hartford
The first Unraveled Tour concert took place at PeoplesBank Arena on September 25. The venue lists the second Hartford performance for September 26 at 7 p.m. local time, making the two-night engagement the official opening stop of the tour.
Wolf Alice is the opening act for the Hartford dates. Live Nation’s event listing also confirms the band’s appearance alongside Rodrigo.
The opening-night setlist has already begun circulating following Friday’s performance, with songs from Rodrigo’s new album appearing alongside material from her earlier releases.
That gives fans an early look at how Rodrigo is balancing her newest material with the songs that established her career, including tracks such as “drivers license,” “good 4 u” and “vampire.”
The New Album Behind the Tour
The Unraveled Tour supports Rodrigo’s third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which Live Nation announced as a June 12, 2026 release through Geffen Records.
The album is central to the new touring era, giving Rodrigo a fresh collection of songs to build into her live show while retaining the older hits that remain familiar to audiences.
The opening-night setlist shows that the new material is already part of the concert experience, including “drop dead” and “u + me = <3.”
A 65-Date Global Tour
When Live Nation announced The Unraveled Tour in April, it described the trek as a 65-date run across North America, Europe and the United Kingdom. The tour includes multiple-night stops in several major cities.
After Hartford, Rodrigo heads to Pittsburgh for concerts on September 29 and 30. The official tour schedule then lists Washington, D.C., on October 3 and 4, followed by dates in Charlotte, Chicago and Boston.
The tour will later continue through Canada and Europe, with scheduled stops including Toronto, Vancouver, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Munich, London, Paris, Milan and Barcelona.
What Happens Next
As of September 26, 2026, The Unraveled Tour is underway, with Rodrigo scheduled for her second Hartford performance tonight.
The opening concerts are also establishing the early shape of the tour, from the setlist and staging to how the new album’s songs translate from studio recordings to arena performances.
Rodrigo’s next U.S. stop will be Pittsburgh on September 29, where she will perform the first of another two-night engagement.
With dozens of dates still ahead, the Hartford shows represent only the beginning of Rodrigo’s latest touring era.
