Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Guts’ World Tour Setlist: Every Song Performed on Opening Night

On February 23, 2024, pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo kicked off her highly anticipated “Guts” World Tour at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina. The 90-minute performance featured high-energy anthems from her sophomore album, GUTS, alongside fan favorites from her debut record, SOUR.

Opening night suggested that Rodrigo’s live show is more about raw vocal delivery and punk-inspired energy than anything else, staying true to the thematic heart of her latest record. Here’s the full verified setlist from the tour opener, along with background on the show’s structure and any surprise guests.

Olivia Rodrigo’s “Guts” World Tour opened with a 19-song setlist. The show opened with “all-american bitch” and closed with “good 4 u”. The setlist includes tracks from her 2023 album GUTS such as “vampire,” “bad idea right?,” and “get him back!,” but also includes major hits from SOUR like “drivers license” and “traitor.” Chappell Roan opened the North American leg.

Show Structure and Production

The concert was divided into distinct thematic acts, mirroring the emotional arc of the GUTS album. The show opened with fast, punk-inspired songs, creating an aggressive,d lively tone. “all-american bitch” kicked the night off with heavy guitar riffs and choreographed movement that set the tone for the rest of the evening.

The middle of the concert was slower, with songs like “Making the Bed” and “The Grudge” – both introspective ballads. This segment showed off Rodrigo’s vocal range and piano skills, a departure from the rock-tinged songs earlier in the show.

The finale picked up the pace again, ending with “good 4 u”, a staple closer for Rodrigo’s live sets since its release. The production featured elaborate lighting designs, a rotating stage setup, and backup dancers, but it was all about Rodrigo’s live vocals.

Opening Act: Chappell Roan

Rising pop star Chappell Roan opened for Rodrigo on the North American leg of the tour. Roan played for 30 minutes before Rodrigo took the stage, performing songs from her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. Critics have noted her addition to the tour lineup as a savvy pairing, given both artists’ roots in theatrical, genre-blurring pop music.

Why It Matters

Rodrigo’s ‘Guts’ World Tour is her second major headlining tour, coming after the successful SOUR Tour in 2022.  The song selections on the setlist suggest a deliberate mix of commercial success and artistic growth. Rodrigo’s credibility as a songwriter is cemented by massive hits like “drivers license,” while deep cuts such as “brute” and “lacy” also appeal to casual fans.

The tour is also a milestone for live music in 2024, and pop concert demand remains strong despite broader economic concerns. The tour has been a huge success with many venues selling out within minutes of going on sale.

What Happens Next

The “Guts” World Tour will continue through April 2024 in North America, before moving on to Europe, Asia and Oceania later in the year. The core setlist will probably stay the same, but Rodrigo has historically made minor tweaks to reflect local events or her own preferences. Fans going to future dates can expect the same 19-song setlist unless official announcements say otherwise.
