The 40 dates span across North America and Europe, with support from Gracie Abrams, Holly Humberstone and Baby Queen.

Olivia Rodrigo is heading on the road next year for a full tour. On Monday (Dec. 6), the singer took to Twitter to release a full list of concert dates in support of her debut album Sour, spanning from North America to Europe.

“SOUR TOUR IS FINALLY HAPPENING!!!” the 18-year-old wrote alongside the tour’s official poster, which features her hair suspended mid-air by helium balloons. “tix on sale Friday!!!!”

Supporting Rodrigo during her 40-date run will be Gracie Abrams, Holly Humberstone and Baby Queen — Abrams will be joining the singer in the North American leg from Apr. 2 to Apr. 23, while Humberstone will join Apr. 26 to May 25. Queen will be the sole support for the European leg of the tour.

Per Rodrigo, tickets to the tour go on sale on Friday, Dec. 10. A Ticketmaster verified fan sale is currently open until 12 a.m. PT on Tuesday. Fans that sign up for the verified presale will be provided with a unique code on Thursday to purchase their tickets the following day.

The Sour tour announcement comes at the end of a successful year for the 18-year-old. Rodrigo was recently nominated for seven awards at the 2022 Grammy Awards, including nods in the Big Four categories — best new artist, song and record of the year (“drivers license”) as well as album of the year. Sour charted in the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart following its release in June, with all tracks from the album charting within the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart upon its release.

Sharleen Spiteri joined BBC Radio 2’s The Sara Cox Breakfast Show ahead of Texas taking the stage to launch the main live music programme at Radio 2 in the Park in Stirling.

Checking in from rehearsals, the Texas frontwoman spoke about getting ready for the band’s opening performance at City Park. Radio 2’s annual flagship festival takes place there from 11 to 13 September 2026. "I’m match fit because I’ve had a couple of days’ rehearsals," Spiteri said. "We’re kicking the whole weekend off, which we’re very much looking forward to, so everybody’s got to get ready to party."

Before the live acts take over, Friday’s DJ Pre-Party gets the weekend started with Radio 2 favourites Sara Cox, DJ Spoony, Gary Davies, Michelle Visage, and Rylan behind the decks.

Jo Whiley helped set the mood with a special programme from Stirling’s Tolbooth venue. Working with BBC Introducing Scotland, the broadcast put the spotlight on Scotland’s emerging music scene through performances and conversations with Fright Years, Alice Faye, and James Emmanuel.

Fright Years, a four member band from Edinburgh, played "Never Been Wrong" and offered their take on Simple Minds’ "Waterfront." Glasgow singer and songwriter Alice Faye, the BBC Introducing in Scotland 2026 winner, paired "Some Brief Encounter" with a rendition of Lulu’s arrangement of "I Started a Joke." James Emmanuel, who was born in Nigeria and now lives in Edinburgh, sang "Brothers & Sisters" before taking on Chaka Khan’s "I’m Every Woman."

"We’re all about celebrating BBC Introducing and all the music that’s come out of Scotland," Whiley told listeners. "It's about celebrating the local music scene and the incredibly important work that BBC Introducing does to support independent, up-and-coming artists."

Joining the conversation were Stephanie Cheape, presenter of BBC Introducing in Scotland, Tara McLoughlin, venue manager for Stirling Council, and student radio presenters representing the University of Stirling’s Air3 Radio.

Listeners can catch the complete interviews and live performances from the weekend’s programmes on BBC Sounds.
