With almost 50 million listeners on Spotify and three number 1 hits on UK official Charts at only 21, Olivia Rodrigo is the voice of a generation.
Rodrigo first began her career as an actress on Disney Channel and landed the lead role in a TV show remake of High School Musical. In 2021, she released her debut single “Driver’s License” which received acclaim from both the public and critics and marked one of the biggest debuts in history.
After Driver’s License was released, Rodrigo became a pop icon all at once and her following singles became radio hits and received millions of streams in ever app. Rodrigo then announced her debut album “SOUR”, from which the singles “Good 4 You” and “Déjà vu” were taken. “SOUR” became the pop anthem of the youngest generation, with Rodrigo being compared to the likes of Taylor Swift. “SOUR” won “Best Pop Album” at the 64th edition of the Grammy Awards, same year where Rodrigo won the “Best New Artist” category.
After undertaking a world tour and releasing a documentary, Rodrigo announced her second studio album titled “GUTS”. The first single off “GUTS”, titled “Vampire”, confirmed Rodrigo as more than just a one hit wonder, but instead highlighted her songwriting and vocal skills. “GUTS” was followed by yet another world tour and a deluxe version which contained the single “Obsessed”.
Rodrigo has also written and performed for various soundtracks. Besides writing original song for her TV show “High School Musical: The Show: The Music”, she also wrote “Can’t Catch Me Now” for the movie “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snake” which earned her a Grammy nomination.
Rodrigo played multiple sold out shows all over the United Kingdom, her “GUTS: world tour” took her to Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham and finally for four, sold-out, nights at London’s O2 Arena. She also previously played Glastonbury. Despite gracing stages all over the world, BST Hyde Park is a new achievement for Rodrigo. The London stage is, in fact, going to be her biggest UK headline show to date.
Tickets will be available for sale on the British Summer Time’s website for an exclusive pre-sale on Monday 13 November at 10am, and on general sale on Friday 15 November at 9am.
