US singing sensation Olivia Rodrigo has announced that she will be touching down in the UK next year as part of her highly-anticipated worldwide tour.
To mark the release of her second studio album GUTS, the "Vampire" singer will be kicking off her live shows in February, playing dates across the UK and Canada before heading to Dublin in April and then on to Manchester for the first of her five UK tour dates on May 3. Demand for tickets is expected to be so high that a registration system has been implemented, similar to that put in place for Taylor Swift fans trying to purchase tickets for her Eras Tour earlier this year.
With only five dates announced so far in Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham and London, fans may need to be prepared to travel to see their idol in the flesh. Savvy concertgoers could be ahead of the game by booking their overnight stay without having to pay a penny now.
Tickets will go on sale for Olivia Rodrigo's UK shows on Thursday, September 21, but fans will need to pre-register before 10pm on Sunday, September 17 via the singer's website to be in with a chance to purchase them. Once registration closes, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to the sale.
American Express card members may also have the opportunity to get early sale access to Olivia's UK tour dates via the American Express Early Access Registration option on Ticketmaster, with the pre-sale opening a day early on Wednesday, September 20. All other fans can register in advance via Ticketmaster now for the chance to get tickets when they go on sale next week.
