Olivia Rodrigo is coming back to Ohio — and this time it’s a two-nighter. The 23-year-old pop star brings “The Unraveled” tour to Columbus’s Schottenstein Center on Oct. 29-30, with English pop-rockers Wolf Alice as special guest at both shows, at 7 p.m.

Her album “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love” returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on Oct. 24 for a third week, making it the longest-running No. 1 album on the chart by a female artist in 2026. Its first single, “drop dead,” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April, making Rodrigo the first artist to debut the lead song from all of her studio albums at No. 1. She is also the only artist born this century with multiple Hot 100 chart-toppers, including “vampire,” “good 4 u” and “drivers license.”

Rodrigo sold out Nationwide Arena in Columbus in 2024 during her “GUTS” world tour. She ranks as the fifth most popular artist in the world, according to Pollstar’s ranking for Oct. 23.

Tickets may be limited or sold out; fans can join Rodrigo’s official waitlist for a chance at released tickets. A portion of ticket sales from the Oct. 29-30 concerts will benefit her Fund 4 Good initiative, which supports community nonprofits focused on reproductive rights, girls’ education and preventing gender-based violence.

Columbus is an easy road trip from Toledo for a two-night stand by one of Gen-Z’s defining pop stars — and Wolf Alice on the bill makes it a full night, not just a headliner set.
