Olivia Rodrigo has announced a massive 2022 world tour in support of her breakout debut album, Sour.

The North American leg of the tour will kick off April 2 at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco and will wrap May 25 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. A European and U.K. run will follow in June and July.

 

For the first half of Rodrigo’s North American tour (April 2 through April 23), she’ll receive support from Gracie Abrams. Joining her on the second half of the run (April 26 through May 25) will be Holly Humberstone. Baby Queen will open for Rodrigo during her European and U.K. shows.

Tickets for the Sour tour will go on sale this Friday, Dec. 10, at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can register for first access via TicketMaster’s Verified Fan program, which will be open through Dec. 7 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Complete information is available on Rodrigo’s website.

Sour, which was released back in May, recently topped Rolling Stone’s Best Albums of 2021 list, while Rodrigo’s breakout single, “Drivers License” landed at Number Three on RS’s Best Songs of 2021 list. The singer-songwriter also just picked up seven Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist, Album of the Year for Sour, and Record and Song of the Year for “Drivers License.”

Lola Young has joined forces with Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) to release a new T shirt for the charity’s Lifelines collection.

The shirt supports CALM’s suicide prevention work, with proceeds helping to fund vital resources such as its helpline and CALMzone mental health app.

CALM introduced the Lifelines range last year, with Fontaines D.C., Blossoms and Inhaler also contributing their own designs to the collection.

Young’s design includes the words, “There’s a flicker of light. There’s always morning after the night”, taken from her track ‘Flicker Of Light’.

“I wrote this song about realising there is hope. I have often felt like there isn’t, but there is always a reason to keep going,” Young said. “That’s even when you don’t want to get out of bed, you do, and that is amazing, and you’re still here, and you’re still alive, and if anything, that’s something to be proud of.”

CALM CEO Simon Gunning also shared his appreciation for the collaboration, saying: “We couldn’t be more grateful to Lola for supporting ‘Lifelines’ and showing just how powerful music can be as a force for good.”

Priced at £30, the T shirts come in both standard and boxy fits and are available to purchase here.

 

Young has regularly spoken about her experiences with mental health. She returned to performing earlier this year after calling off her 2025 tour because of exhaustion. The decision followed her collapse during a performance in New York City. During her time away, she later discussed receiving support for addiction and attending AA meetings as part of her recovery.

In an interview with NME in May, Young explained that she believes “all healing journeys are never ending”, although she is now “definitely in a much better place”. She also said she feels “excited and ready to perform and to release music”.

Reflecting on the encouragement she received after publicly discussing those challenges, Young said: “My fans inspire me in the same way I hope to inspire them. I feel like I’ve never tried to be especially honest… it just comes very naturally to me.”

“I don’t really have any other choice but to be honest, so if people connect to that, and that’s amazing.”

Several musicians have also applauded the ‘Messy’ singer for honestly addressing the pressure placed on touring performers. Lily Allen said she was “in awe” of the BRIT and Grammy winner, while Victoria Canal credited Young with bringing greater attention to the damaging impact demanding tour schedules can have on artists’ mental wellbeing.

When NME asked whether musicians were beginning to establish firmer boundaries around their health, Young replied: “I never intended it to start a movement, but I hope that it does in some way.”
