Olivia Rodrigo Opening Act 2026 — Who is the Support?

Olivia Rodrigo opening acts — who's been on the GUTS World Tour bill

Olivia Rodrigo has consistently used the opening slot on her tours as a platform for emerging artists in the indie, alt-pop, and rising-pop wave that overlaps her listenership — the support choices read more like a tastemaker's playlist than a label-bundled package, and a number of the openers (Chappell Roan most prominently) have used the slot as the launchpad for their own headline arena careers. The GUTS World Tour rotation has carried The Breeders (the Kim Deal-led alt-rock band Olivia has cited as a guitar-tone-and-attitude influence for the louder GUTS material), Chappell Roan (who opened the early North American leg before 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'HOT TO GO!' broke her career and the festival-headliner-and-arena-tour trajectory took her past the support slot inside about ten months), PinkPantheress (UK breakthrough Y2K-revival pop, primarily on the UK and European leg), Remi Wolf (Bay Area funk-pop, primarily on the West Coast US run), and assorted regional support adds on the Australian and festival dates. The pattern is one opener per night for a 30-to-45-minute support set, sometimes with a rotational swap by region (a UK opener for the UK leg, a Canadian opener for the Canadian dates) and the occasional festival-date no-opener exception where the headline slot is the only act Olivia plays. The opener is named on the official Ticketmaster show page once it is locked in — usually 4 to 8 weeks before the date, sometimes day-of for last-minute regional swaps. For the next Olivia Rodrigo tour cycle, the opener slot will almost certainly follow the same template: a single emerging act from the same demographic the project pulls from, announced after the headline ticket onsale rather than alongside it, and rotating by region. The economics of the opener slot on an arena tour at this scale (in front of 15,000 to 20,000 ticketed fans every night for 4 to 8 months) make it one of the most coveted support gigs in pop touring — it is the slot where a rising artist's project goes from a streaming presence to a touring proposition. Click any date on the live event strip above for the confirmed opener on that specific night; if the show page lists the headline name only, the opener has not yet been announced and the page will update once Ticketmaster posts it.

How Olivia Rodrigo Tour Openers Get Announced

Most Olivia Rodrigotour openers aren't named when tickets go on sale. The supporting act is locked in per-region (sometimes per-show) and surfaces on the official Ticketmaster show page in the weeks before each stop. Click any date above to see whether the opener is confirmed yet — Catch Movement pulls live show pages daily, so the listed support act updates as soon as Ticketmaster does.

For headliners at Olivia Rodrigo's scale, expect a single opener doing a 30 to 45 minute set, sometimes with a regional rotation (a Canadian opener for CA dates, a US opener for the American leg). The opener slot doesn't require a separate ticket — your Olivia Rodrigo ticket covers the full show.

How to Find the Confirmed Olivia Rodrigo Opener for Your City

1. Pick your city from the tour-date list above.
2. Click through to that show's Ticketmaster page.
3. Check the listing — confirmed openers appear under the headline name once added.
4. Watch for updates — openers are sometimes added 2 to 4 weeks out, so check back if it's still TBA.

Do I Need a Separate Ticket for the Opener?

No. The Olivia Rodrigo ticket you buy from Ticketmaster covers the entire show — opener + headliner — at the same venue, same night. Doors usually open 60 to 90 minutes before the advertised start time; the opener typically performs first, with a 20 to 30 minute changeover before Olivia Rodrigo takes the stage.

About Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Isabel Rodrigo was born February 20, 2003, in Temecula, California — the Inland Empire town an hour north of San Diego and an hour south of the Disney machine that would shape the first half of her public-facing career. She is the daughter of a Filipino-American father, who works as a family therapist, and an American mother who taught elementary school, and the family relocated to the Los Angeles area to support the acting career that started when she was six. She booked her first studio work at twelve in the Disney Channel original movie An American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success, and then landed the recurring role of Paige Olvera on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark, which ran from 2016 to 2019. The next role was the load-bearing one: Nini Salazar-Roberts on High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, the Disney+ meta-property that recursively re-staged the original High School Musical with a new ensemble cast performing in-show original songs. Olivia wrote and performed 'All I Want' for the series soundtrack and the song quietly went platinum on the back of streaming — the first signal to anyone watching the publishing splits that the actress in the Disney ensemble was also a working songwriter in her own right. The pivot moment was 'drivers license' in January 2021. Released as the lead single off what would become SOUR, the song spent eight weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, became the fastest non-holiday song ever to cross 100 million Spotify streams, and turned an eighteen-year-old Disney actor into the centre of the global pop conversation overnight. SOUR followed in May 2021 — debut #1 on the Billboard 200, Grammy nominations for Album of the Year and Record of the Year, the wins for Best New Artist and Best Pop Solo Performance, and a Sour Tour through theatres and mid-cap arenas in 2022. GUTS in September 2023 was the sophomore album that closed the door on second-record syndrome: 'vampire' as the lead single, 'bad idea right?' and 'get him back!' as the loud pop-rock anchors, 'ballad of a homeschooled girl' and 'all-american bitch' as the sharpest writing on the record, and another Grammy AOTY nomination. The GUTS World Tour that followed scaled to sold-out arena multi-night runs across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, with a feature-length concert film for Netflix capturing the Los Angeles run. She is signed to Geffen Records, manages through Bill Silva Management, and writes her own material with Daniel Nigro as the consistent co-writer and producer across both records.
