Last time we saw pop-rock monolith Olivia Rodrigo on the road, she was supported by an up-and-coming blaze of red hair. That fiery newcomer introduced herself to the world as Chappell Roan.
Before her Guts World Tour, we had the Sour Tour, humbly opened by a quiet girl at her piano named Gracie Abrams.
Now, both artists are Grammy nominees, headlining major festivals and packing stadiums the size of Olivia’s. The Olivia Rodrigo opener slot has been infamous for catapulting its acts to stardom.
With the announcement of Rodrigo’s highly anticipated third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, a fresh batch of artists is preparing for a monumental upsurge in listeners. Here is everything you need to know about The Unravelled Tour’s explosive openers before they enchant millions.
The Last Dinner Party
Come, all you beasts! Olivia Rodrigo has cordially invited her Los Angeles and Brooklyn fans to feast upon British Indie-rock royalty. Debut single Nothing Matters, crafted with Arctic Monkeys’ producer James Ford, is an anthem of the unabashed nihilism born from love’s cathartic grandeur.
On their latest LP, From The Pyre, The Last Dinner Party harnesses the baroque, the medieval, and the mythological as vessels for the deeply personal. Generational frontwoman Abigail Morris commands the theatrics with charm, raising the bar for live rock acts to heavenly heights.
Alongside Rodrigo, a flaming conflation of feminine rage is set to kiss either American coast come winter.
Wolf Alice
Wolf Alice has long cemented their legacy as an Indie Cult-Favourite. Their debut record, My Love Is Cool, turns 11 next month and contains “Bros,” a wistful, upbeat rock ode made for montaging childhood friendship.
Preluding the announcement, Rodrigo’s fresh single drop dead has been lovingly compared by critics to Wolf Alice’s timeless Don’t Delete The Kisses as a predecessor. Either ballad divulges the fervent stream of consciousness unspooled by a crush. Their long-awaited return to the road, The Clearing, sands down their beloved rock edges and beams with 1970’s richness.
Wolf Alice will cast their hallowed howl over The Unravelled Tour crowds in Hartford, Pittsburgh, Washington, Charlotte, Chicago, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, and Columbus.
Devon Again
Sunburnt songstress Devon Again is a blur of electronic-pop grit in blue hair dye. Standout single cherry cola is a summery reincarnation of Rodrigo’s signature nostalgic pop-rock confectionery. A breaking staple from the Los Angeles alternative scene, Devon is unafraid to squeeze vulnerability from porous adolescent highs. Her sky-blue EP In Order confronts the teenage anarchy of feverish suburbia.
Much like Olivia, Devon’s airy soprano sweetness dresses clamor as confession. Tracks like “skittles” are unafraid to unleash honest indie-rock phantasmagoria like the sun through a garden sprinkler.
Fans can catch Devon Again when Olivia’s The Unravelled Tour bus stops in Atlanta, Orlando, Sunrise, Nashville, Vancouver, Seattle, Oakland, Sacramento, and Las Vegas.
Die Spitz
For many of Olivia Rodrigo’s avid preteen concert attendees, this will be baby’s first hard-rock show. Die Spitz is an all-female four-piece who unfold as a sweetly sticky introduction to the genre.
Despite their ferociousness, both Die Spitz’s and Olivia’s oeuvres are conduits for the same glitterbomb of grit. Their 2025 record, Something To Consume, packs a powerhouse of overdrive and champions camaraderie in anger. Their energetic ebullience is translated onstage for their live shows, set to intoxicate The Unravelled Tour attendees.
Paris, Milan, and Barcelona are the lucky cities in Die Spitz’s path of havoc when they open for Olivia Rodrigo this fall.
Grace Ives
Honesty and quirkiness riddle Grace Ives’ DIY Synth-pop. The self-produced singer-songwriter has woven her latest album Girlfriend, a frank deluge of distorted hums and melty feelings, from her own bedroom.
Fan favourite “Lullaby” interrogates a longing for life beyond stagnation, percolated with Ives’ signature punchy synth, a staple she shares with Olivia. The gauze over Ives’ digital twilight paints a sonic backdrop muffled yet razor-sharp,
Fans preparing to hear you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love live in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Munich, and London will be graced with Ives as a pixel-perfect prelude.
As the hem begins to fray…
you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, the new album by Olivia Rodrigo, is out globally on June 12th.
Whilst fans prepare to be Unravelled, “drop dead” is available for listening across all major streaming platforms. Olivia performed the single at Coachella 2026 as a surprise guest for Addison Rae, marking its live debut.
Olivia donned a custom ruffle-trimmed leather bra and Diesel jeans, signalling a style shift into her newest era. Beaming with friendship and florid lingerie, the two sang of and exemplified “feminine intuition,” the pointed crux of “drop dead.”
In her dear friend Addison’s words, fame is a gun, and Olivia’s shiny openers are ready to play russian roulette. As stardom loads the barrel, The Unravelled Tour is already preparing to hit the indie-pop history books and have audiences “drop dead.”
