In a week that underscores her cross-generational reach, Olivia Rodrigo has held off rock legends The Rolling Stones on the Australian albums chart, Billboard first reported. This chart victory coincides with the announcement that buzzy UK band The Last Dinner Party will join her sold-out “Unraveled Tour” for its Los Angeles and New York dates in early 2027.
Rodrigo’s latest album kept The Rolling Stones’ new studio effort, “Foreign Tongues,” at No. 2 on the ARIA Chart. The news arrives as Mick Jagger himself recently commented on Rodrigo’s rock-influenced sound in a Rolling Stone interview about AI in music, noting the band’s impression of her work. This juxtaposition—a young pop superstar besting a classic rock institution on the charts while earning their attention—highlights Rodrigo’s solidified position in the modern music landscape.
Tour Expansion and Supporting Acts
Adding to the momentum, The Last Dinner Party confirmed they will be the support act for ten shows at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood (January 12-29, 2027) and ten shows at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in February 2027. According to a feature in Under the Radar, the band described their new single “Knocking At The Sky” as a tale set in a “sinister myth world” of Los Angeles, making them a conceptually fitting opener for the SoCal dates. The group is currently on a extensive tour, with plans to support the artist sombr on a US arena run this October before linking up with Rodrigo.
The Major SoCal Connection
The heart of this story is in Inglewood. Rodrigo’s “Unraveled Tour” will make a massive, 10-night stand at the new Intuit Dome in January 2027, which per our related coverage, required additional dates due to overwhelming demand. These shows are already sold out, cementing the tour as one of the most anticipated local concert events of the coming year. The choice of The Last Dinner Party as opener adds an intriguing layer; the band’s artistic vision, which they say draws on “Hollywood noir” and a stylized LA, will meet its real-world counterpart on this stage. For Southern California fans, it represents a major pop event paired with a critically acclaimed act that has directly channeled the region’s mythology into its art.
Looking ahead, all eyes are on the January 2027 kickoff of the tour’s LA residency. While no further Southern California dates are expected, the scale of this engagement—10 nights at a state-of-the-art arena—speaks to Rodrigo’s immense draw. The chart battle with The Rolling Stones is a snapshot of her current dominance, but the sold-out tour is the main event, promising to be a defining live music moment for the region.
