Olivia Rodrigo Guts Tour in Phoenix: Ultimate guide to her Footprint Center concert

Olivia Rodrigo is headed to Phoenix a day after launching the Guts World Tour in Palm Springs, California.

Rodrigo takes on Arizona at the Footprint Center on Saturday, Feb. 24, four days after turning 21, on a tour in support of one of last year’s most inspired rock releases, "Guts."

This show will mark the superstar's first metro Phoenix concert since May 2022, when her first headlining tour in support of a quadruple-platinum debut titled "Sour" thrilled a sold-out crowd at Arizona Financial Theatre, where Rodrigo seemed as overjoyed as anyone to be there.

Inspired by the period of time immediately following that breakthrough, “Guts” is a raucous reflection on the growing pains that came with that success. As Rodrigo said in a statement in advance of the album’s release, “I feel like I grew 10 years between the ages of 18 and 20 — was such an intense period of awkwardness and change.”

The album result of all that introspection made the rounds of year-end critics lists, from Rolling Stone to Pitchfork, with Rodrigo topping year-end lists at People magazine and Billboard.

Here’s everything you need to know before you go to the Guts World Tour in Phoenix, including where to park, the clear bag policy and whether tickets are still available.
