Brace yourselves: The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! Everyone’s favourite self-proclaimed all-American bitch, Olivia Rodrigo, has confirmed her highly anticipated tour Down Under.
The tour is set to kick off in October 2024, marking Olivia's first time performing in Australia. Finally, us Aussies are getting a dose of pop girlies this year — between Taylor Swift, SZA, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Hemlocke Springs, Maisie Peters and now Olivia Rodrigo, it's clear that we are the music god's favourites.
For those of you who are sick and tired, or crying over some mediocre ex in your car whilst screaming to Driver's License, rest assured that you'll soon be able to do this IRL with Olivia herself. And we can finally all watch edits of Snow and Lucy from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes set to Can't Catch Me Now in person.

So grab your besties, set your timers, and get ready to spill your guts! Here is everything we know so far:
When Is Olivia Rodrigo Coming To Australia?
After months of speculation, Olivia Rodrigo has released the dates of her Australian tour, and it sounds like a teenage (or a teen girl in her 20s) dream.
Australia wasn't included in the Sour World Tour of 2022, to the chagrin of many diehard fans, but now we get the opportunity to scream along to "enough for you".
Olivia Rodrigo will be playing eight sold-out shows; two in Melbourne and two in Sydney.

Pre-sale Tickets
How can I access pre-sale tickets?

For those of you lucky American Express cardholders, you get first dibs on the tickets going live on Monday, 13 May, at 12pm (AEST) until 12pm (AEST) Wednesday, 15 May.
Silver Star Tickets
Olivia Rodrigo is a firm believer in making her shows available to people from all socio-economic backgrounds and so, $20 Silver Star tickets have been made available for all shows. What a good idea, right?!
When Do Tickets For The General Public Go On Sale?
The general admission sale tickets will be released at 1pm (AEST) on Thursday, 16 May. May the odds be ever in your favour! The tickets are being sold through Ticketek, so get ready to rejoin the waiting room.

Who is the opener for the Australian leg of Olivia Rodrigo's GUTS Tour?

Unfortunately Chappell Roan is not going to be delighting Australia with her presence as Olivia's opener. But luckily they have replaced her with the ultra-talented New Zealand singer Benee. Benee is a wonderful singer-songwriter who you'll likely know from the trending TikTok song Supalonely. Her indie/alternative flair is perfectly suited to Olivia's pop/punk princess vibe.
What is Fund 4 Good?
A portion of all tickets for the GUTS tour will be going to Olivia Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, a foundation that supports girls’ education, reproductive rights and preventing gender-based violence.
The organisation got into some controversy earlier this year when Olivia handed out contraceptives and the morning-after pill at her concerts — the act was halted, likely due to backlash from conservatives. However, concert attendees were still able to sign up to receive free contraceptives via delivery and pickup anytime after the show. Let's hope that she can continue doing something like this in Australia. We love to see a pop star using their fame for good!
