The Guts World Tour was the second concert tour by American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo, in support of her second studio album, Guts (2023). It began on February 23, 2024, at Acrisure Arena in Thousand Palms, United States, and concluded on July 1, 2025, at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, comprising 102 shows across North America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Brazil. The Breeders, Chappell Roan, PinkPantheress, Remi Wolf, Benee, Beabadoobee, St. Vincent, and Florence Road served as supporting acts.
It was Rodrigo's first all-arena concert tour, after her debut tour was scheduled at intimate venues such as theaters and auditoriums. The set list consisted primarily of songs from Guts, in addition to some from Sour (2021). In line with the promoted album's themes, the show's nature was inspired by rock-driven music, more specifically by girl rock and riot grrrl live concerts. A brief 2025 extension billed as Guts World Tour: Spilled was headlined at stadiums.
The tour was met with highly positive reviews from critics, who praised Rodrigo's stage presence, vocals, and the pace of the show. It also experienced commercial success, being attended by 1.6 million people and grossing US$209.1 million from 101 shows, becoming the highest-grossing tour by an act born in the 21st century. Rodrigo's August 2024 shows at Intuit Dome in Inglewood were recorded for a television special, which was released on Netflix on October 29, 2024.
Background and development Olivia Rodrigo's second studio album, Guts, was released on September 8, 2023. The album and its cover art were announced on June 26, 2023, before the release of the lead single, "Vampire", and preorders began the same day. The album's track listing was teased on July 31, leading fans to search for clues, and the following day, Rodrigo revealed the titles of the album's twelve tracks. On September 7, she released a trailer for Guts on YouTube, wherein the titles of the album's four bonus tracks were revealed. Furthermore, three singles were released in promotion of Guts in 2023: "Vampire" on June 30; "Bad Idea Right?" on August 11; and "Get Him Back!" on September 15. A bonus track titled "Obsessed" was released as the album's fourth single on March 22, 2024.
Prior to the tour's official announcement, it was teased via social media by both Rodrigo and the venues that she was set to perform on a new series of concerts. Rodrigo announced the first set of dates for the Guts World Tour on September 13, 2023, on her official social media platforms, with shows in various different cities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. It is Rodrigo's second concert tour and first arena tour, following her debuting Sour Tour, which she embarked on throughout 2022 in support of her debut studio album, Sour (2021).
Before its commencement, Rodrigo performed Guts in an exclusive concert at Los Angeles Theatre at Ace Hotel on October 9, 2023, from which all proceeds from ticket sales went to her Fund 4 Good nonprofit organization. The concert was streamed a day later on Rodrigo's official YouTube channel, including stories behind the composition of the album. Moreover, Crumbl Cookies launched a special Guts World Tour themed cookie that would be available in local stores across the US.
Nine new dates were added to the tour on May 8, 2024, with five corresponding to several Asian countries, while the remaining four were distributed between the Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney, each with two concerts scheduled and New Zealand singer Benee as opening act. On September 10, 2024, a date in Santa Maria, Bulacan, was added to the Asian leg of the tour. Two rescheduled shows at Manchester's Co-op Live were announced on October 10, 2024, after the original dates had to be postponed due to technical issues with the venue. Besides the tour's official run, three dates for Curitiba, Mexico City, and Dublin were revealed on November 12, 2024. The all-stadium shows were billed as Guts World Tour: Spilled, with St. Vincent, Beabadoobee, and Florence Road serving as opening acts.
Ticket sales Alongside the tour's announcement, it was revealed that there would initially be no public on-sale. Fans could register for a chance to buy tickets until September 17, 2023, at 10 p.m. ET in one of two ways: through Ticketmaster, for access to the sale on September 21; or through American Express's Early Access, for access to the presale on September 20. However, the latter option was limited to American Express Card Members only.
In addition, all cities on the North American leg of the tour offered the "Silver Star Tickets" option, which consisted of a limited number of tickets available for $20 per show, purchasable only in pairs. This program ensured that concertgoers with these tickets would be seated next to each other, aiming to "make it as easy and affordable as possible for her fans to make it out to her shows". All tickets sold for the Santa Maria show were Silver Star Tickets. Ticketmaster deemed the demand "massive", noting that "there are still more fans who registered than tickets available". In response, the company implemented new policies to combat reselling, such as delaying ticket delivery until 72 hours before the concert and making tickets available only electronically.
On September 15, 2023, Rodrigo announced 18 additional dates across North America and Europe due to "overwhelming demand". Four days later, second shows were added in Lisbon and Antwerp due to "incredible demand", as well as a venue upgrade for the Oslo show. On May 15, 2024, two additional shows were announced in both Sydney and Melbourne, while in the following days, second dates were added in Seoul, Bangkok, and Singapore after the first shows sold out during the pre-sale. On June 17, 2024, two additional dates for Inglewood were announced to be held on August 20 and 21 at Intuit Dome, bringing the total to six shows in the city. A couple of days later, a second show in Tokyo was added. Due to high demand, a second date at Mexico City's Estadio GNP Seguros for the Spilled leg was added on November 19.
Staging and production
The stage design for arena shows extended into the crowd at a diagonal on two catwalks for both the left and right end sides, an open section where her music band remains visible throughout the show and a full digital screen element comprising the height and width behind the stage. Though modest, the production also includes elements like multiple camera set ups, a levitating quarter-moon shaped platform and mobile blocks that rise from the center platform. For the outdoor venues, the stage was reduced to a small catwalk and did not feature wardrobe changes nor the levitating platform.
Concert synopsis
2024 concerts Heavily inspired by female rock bands such as the Breeders, Hole, Sleater-Kinney, L7, and Babes in Toyland, the show lasts approximately one hour and thirty minutes and begins with the album title Guts, spelled out with birthday candles, being displayed on the stage's screen. A black and white introductory video depicts Rodrigo running desperately across a somber hotel aisle, in which she eventually arrives to a room and knocks on the door with rings that appear on the cover art of Guts. She and her band then appear on stage to open the show with "Bad Idea Right?", preceding "Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl". Rodrigo then delivers a welcome note to the audience before singing "Vampire", which is followed by "Traitor". Rodrigo proceeds with piano renditions of "Drivers License" and "Teenage Dream" before transitioning to "Pretty Isn't Pretty".
After a wardrobe change, Rodrigo performs "Love Is Embarrassing", accompanied by a choreography routine, introduces her band and dancers, and performs "Making the Bed". Later, she performs "Logical" and "Enough for You" on the half-moon prop flying over the public. After a second costume change, Rodrigo sings "Lacy" in the middle of a retractable circle while dancers perform additional choreography surrounding the structure. Rodrigo then leaves the stage to perform "Jealousy, Jealousy" alongside her fans in the venue barricades. Upon returning to the stage, Rodrigo plays "Happier" and "Favorite Crime" with a band member accompanying on the acoustic guitar. Next, she performs "Deja Vu", before lowering the mood of the concert during "The Grudge".
For "Brutal", Rodrigo reappears after another wardrobe change, in which she follows with a performance of "Obsessed", where she plays the electric guitar herself. She then performs "All-American Bitch"; in the middle of the song, she tells the audience to "think about something or someone that really pisses you off" and "scream your heart out". An encore begins with the performance of "Good 4 U", while Rodrigo uses a red megaphone and wears a specific iron-on T-shirt for each date, including one referencing No Doubt's "Just a Girl". During the concluding song of the show, "Get Him Back!", confetti shoots up from the ceiling and the stage's lighting rigs heavily flash until turning off completely.
2025 concerts The shows during the tour's Spilled leg feature a nearly identical readjusted set list spanning the majority of the Guts album, with the exceptions of "Making the Bed", "Logical", and "The Grudge", while permanently incorporating the deluxe track "So American". The concert begins with a graphic showing Rodrigo slacklining and trying to catch a purple butterfly in front of a black background before falling off the rope, just to appear on stage to start the concert with "Obsessed" played on electric guitar. After performing "Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl" and "Vampire", Rodrigo welcomes the audience and proceeds to sing "Drivers License" and "Traitor" on piano. She then has another brief chat with the public as an introduction to "Bad Idea Right?", which is followed by "Love Is Embarrassing" accompanied by its choreography routine.
"Pretty Isn't Pretty" continues the set list before a full band execution of "Happier". Rodrigo then performs "Lacy" in the middle of the retractable circle while the dancers perform the additional choreography with long fabric ribbons surrounding the structure. After this, she plays "Enough for You" with an electric guitar in the middle of the stage catwalk, where she stays to sing "So American". During a musical intermission, Rodrigo introduces her band members, who abruptly start playing "Jealousy, Jealousy"; she performs the track upon a clear glass block where she writes "I ♡ U" with red lipstick.
A second video interlude depicts Rodrigo floating underwater in the middle of a purple ocean, turning into a lavender fog that leads to "Favorite Crime". Transitioning to "Teenage Dream", the screens display a birthday cake burning by the candles, followed by a "Deja Vu" performance with the dancers ensemble. A third and final video interlude preludes the encore, where Rodrigo lights up a ring of fire around her while guitarists Emily Rosenfield and Daisy Spencer play heavy electric guitar notes on stage. Rodrigo reappears to sing "Brutal", "All-American Bitch", and "Good 4 U". The show ends with Rodrigo performing "Get Him Back!" at the top of a small tower light using the red megaphone as confetti is being shot up from the stage and a bidding farewell from all the crew.
Critical reception North America The show received rave reviews from critics; ABC News classified it as one of the best and biggest of 2024. Tomás Mier of Rolling Stone stated that "Rodrigo cemented her position in pop culture as a generation-defining artist. As a rockstar, and as an energy-filled idol that is only just beginning her career." Niki Kottmann of Desert Sun said that the concert did a good job of showcasing Rodrigo's various talents beyond just singing and songwriting.
