Olivia Rodrigo is set to take the stage at Capital One Arena for back-to-back shows this Saturday and Sunday. The pop star's stop in the District is a date on her Unraveled Tour, and with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. and the show expected to kick off around 7 p.m. Saturday, fans are being urged to plan their routes — and their exits — well in advance.
The shows arrive as part of Rodrigo's tour in support of her third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, released June 12, 2026 on Geffen Records, according to Wikipedia. The album's lead single, drop dead, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Rodrigo the first artist in history to have the lead singles from her first three studio albums all top the chart, per Capital One Arena. Grammy-nominated British indie rock band Wolf Alice is serving as the featured opening act for the two-night D.C. run, as confirmed by Live Nation.
Rodrigo is set to play in D.C. this weekend. The two shows bring her to the Chinatown venue.
