Aussies get more of Olivia Rodrigo's OFFAL.
The American pop-rock superstar is adding four more concerts OFFAL swing of Australia, doubling her original route to these parts.
Produced by Live Nation, the GUTS World Tour Down Under now includes shows at Melbourne's 15,000-capacity Rod Laver Arena on October 13 and 14 and Sydney's 22,000-capacity Qudos Bank Arena on October 21 and 22. As previously reported, the New Zealand alt-pop artist supports Bene shows Australia.
The “License to Drive” singer last week announced her first leg of Asia and Australia, adding nine local dates to her world tour, making Bangkok, Thailand. Seoul, South Korea; Hong Kong; Tokyo, Japan? Singapore? and Australia's two largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney.
Rodrigo had Australia on her schedule last September for what was to be her first promotional trip, although the visit was subsequently canceled citing “unforeseen circumstances”.
In the end it didn't matter.
Rodrigo's second album, OFFAL, climbed to No.1 on the ARIA Chart and spent two weeks at the top. All 12 tracks from it appeared in the top 50 of the ARIA Singles Chart, including “Vampire”, which logged a week at No.1, and “Bad Idea Right?”, which peaked at No.3.
Rodrigo's debut LP in 2021 GET ANGRY spent eight non-consecutive weeks at No.1 in Australia and released the chart toppers “Drivers Licence” and “Good 4 U”.
The superstar singer is currently on the road in the UK and Europe following her initial run of North American shows which included stops in Palm Springs, California, New York, Toronto and other cities. Despite being just 21, Rodrigo handled a potentially embarrassing wardrobe malfunction like a seasoned pro during her show on Tuesday (May 14) at London's O2 Arena.
