New England Olivia Rodrigo fans are getting more than a quick drive-by this fall. The pop star is parking her "Unraveled" tour in the region for four arena shows, with back-to-back nights at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford on Sept. 25 and 26, followed by two dates at TD Garden in Boston on Oct. 15 and Oct. 17. Indie rock heavyweights Wolf Alice are set to open all four New England shows, as Rodrigo rolls out the tour around a new album arriving this summer. With only four regional dates on the calendar, expect tickets to disappear fast once sales kick off in early May.

Tour scope and routing

The Unraveled Tour spans 65 dates across North America, Europe and the U.K., beginning in Hartford this September and stretching into 2027, according to Live Nation. From there, Rodrigo hops through multi-night arena runs in cities from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles, plus several European residencies. Support acts change by region, with Wolf Alice, Grace Ives, Devon Again, The Last Dinner Party and Die Spitz all slotted in on different legs, so who you see onstage before Rodrigo depends entirely on your tour stop.

Tickets, Silver Star and seat assignments

The general on-sale starts Thursday, May 7 at 12 p.m. local time via OliviaRodrigo.com. For fans watching their budgets, Silver Star Tickets will offer a limited number of $20 seats designed to make the shows a bit more accessible, with purchases required in pairs and capped at two tickets per order, as reported by NBC Boston. The outlet also notes that Silver Star seats are assigned together and revealed only on the day of the show at the venue box office, and that those mystery locations can end up in limited-view spots, lower and upper levels or even on the floor.

Support acts and the new album

Rodrigo announced the Unraveled Tour as she readies her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, set for release on June 12, the announcement notes, per Pitchfork. While Wolf Alice will be on hand for both Hartford and Boston runs, other cities will see a rotating cast of openers. The shifting lineup mirrors Rodrigo’s past touring strategy, pairing her headlining set with a curated mix of support acts that changes flavor from market to market.

How to prepare

American Express cardmembers and fans who register for the album presale can expect early windows to buy before the general public, with Live Nation’s announcement laying out how Amex Presale access works and how to track down presale codes. The game plan is simple: register at OliviaRodrigo.com, double-check Amex and venue presale times, then be ready to click right at noon on May 7 if you want decent seats. If you strike out at first, keep an eye on official VIP packages and any later Silver Star releases for a second shot at getting into the arena.
