Days after announcing the GUTS World Tour, pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo has added 18 dates to her debut arena run, the singer announced via social media on Friday, September 15.
“my GUTS world tour just added 18 new dates!” the 20-year-old singer penned on Instagram alongside her updated tour poster. Rodrigo teased that even more tour dates are coming. “more dates in many countries yet to come!!!!” she promised.
The new dates include second stops in cities like Chicago, New York, Boston, Seattle, San Francisco, Dublin, London and more. This is Rodrigo’s first time touring arenas and follows her successful Sour tour in 2022.
The Guts World Tour supports her highly anticipated sophomore album, GUTS, released on September 8, 2023. The LP is home to chart-topping hits like “Vampire” and “Get Him Back.” According to Billboard, the album is expected to debut atop the Billboard 200 chart this week. It’s unknown whether Guts will surpass her debut album, Sour, which earned 295,000 equivalent album units in its first week back in May 2021, thanks to her viral ballad, “Driver’s License.”
Earlier this week, Rodrigo revealed that she was taking GUTS on the road. “soooo excited to announce the GUTS world tour!!!! register for ticket access at oliviarodrigo.com and stay tuned for more dates coming soon!!!” she wrote in the announcement. In the last week, Rodrigo has performed singles from GUTS on the Today Show and during the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
Rodrigo previously told Capital FM in August that she wrote GUTS with a tour in mind. “I think there’s a lot of fun songs. I wrote the album with a tour in mind, so I think they’re all songs I wanted people to be able to scream in a crowd,” she said in the interview. “Hopefully that’s what’s achieved.”
