    Pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo launches gutsy new tour with early stop in Houston

    Rising pop star Olivia Rodrigo will go on a world tour in 2024 in support of her just-released new album, Guts, including a stop in Houston, at Toyota Center on Tuesday, February 27.

    It's a massive arena tour with 57 dates — a step up for Rodrigo, who played mostly amphitheaters and other mid-sized venues in 2022. The tour will be bookended by two separate North American legs, with a 21-city European leg sandwiched in-between.

    The initial 22-date run will start in Palm Springs, California on February 23, with Houston (February 27), Austin (February 28), and Dallas among the first concerts on the tour. Rodrigo will be joined by opening act Chappell Roan at all three Texas stops.

    Although sales figures for Guts, Rodrigo's second studio album, have not yet been released, it is destined to be just as successful as her 2021 album, Sour, which went to No. 1 around the world.

    That album contained inescapable hits like "Drivers License," "Deja Vu," and "Good 4 U," giving her an extremely high profile that resulted in three Grammy Awards in 2022. She already has one No. 1 song, "Vampire," off of Guts, whose video received seven nominations at the recent MTV Video Music Awards.

    Fans can register for a chance to buy tickets through Sunday, September 17 at 9 pm at ticketmaster.com/oliviarodrigo for both the on-sale as well as American Express® Early Access.

    Once registration closes, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to either the Early Access sale on Wednesday, September 20 and general sale on Thursday, September 21.

    The Guts world tour will also offer VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level.

    Additionally, the tour will feature "Silver Star Tickets," a limited number of $20 (plus taxes and fees) tickets that will be available at a later date. Silver Star Tickets, which must be purchased in pairs, will be located next to each other, with seat locations revealed on the day of show when picked up at the venue box office.

    A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will go to Rodrigo’s Fund 4 Good, a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women and girls through direct support of community based non-profits that champion girls’ education, support reproductive rights, and prevent gender-based violence.

    There are a lot of lovely events that you can check out this weekend, from a chef-driven dining event to a two-day wellness weekend to an art gallery’s 35th anniversary show to the start of an annual, Iranian film festival.

    The question is, will that arctic blast that’s supposed to happen keep people leaving their houses? Here’s hoping things aren’t cold enough to keep Houstonians from having a good time.

    Phil Rosenthal of Somebody Feed Phil will appear this Saturday at 713 Music Hall.

    Lucille’s Hospitality Group presents The LHG Experience Dinner
    This one-night, chef-driven dining event offers a five-course tasting menu with curated wine pairings that highlights the collective creativity behind Lucille’s Hospitality Group. The evening brings together chefs Chris Williams (Lucille’s), Sergio Hidalgo (Late August), and Jaden Gaines (Rado Market) for a collaborative menu that weaves together flavors, techniques, and cultural influences from each concept. 7 pm.

    Improv Houston presents Timmy No Brakes
    If there is one reason to watch/listen to that insufferable Kill Tony podcast/comedy show, it’s Timmy No Brakes. This guy is comedy’s most unhinged rising star (think Andrew Dice Clay if his toxic-masculinity shtick was actually self-parody). A Kill Tony viral menace and Golden Ticket winner, Timmy’s live shows are a collision of heterosexual character work, high-octane rants, and pure, uncut stupidity delivered with deranged confidence. 7:30 pm.

    Performing Arts Houston presents Chris Thile
    Four-time Grammy-winning mandolinist and songwriter Chris Thile has released eight albums in his career, most recently Laysongs in 2021. A founding member of the bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, he’s also collaborated with artists ranging from Yo-Yo Ma to Fiona Apple to Brad Mehldau. For four years, he also hosted public radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (formerly known as A Prairie Home Companion). This weekend, he’ll be in town sharing music from his career. 7:30 pm.

    Houston Symphony presents "Marin Alsop Conducts Brahms 2"
    Conducting legend Marin Alsop unlocks the luminous jewel case that is Brahms’s Symphony No. 2. Overflowing with gorgeous melodies that melt the heart, it ends with a triumphant burst of pure joy. Love is the unifying thread in Bernstein’s Serenade (After Plato’s “Symposium”), performed with virtuosity by Concertmaster Yoonshin Song. An all-American first half opens with Barber’s heartfelt Second Essay for Orchestra. 7:30 pm (2 pm Sunday).

    Alley Theatre presents Real Women Have Curves
    Real Women Have Curves, a vivacious comedy which inspired the hit 2002 film starring a pre-Ugly Betty America Ferrera, follows five Latina women navigating the pressures of body image, immigration, and cultural expectations. As they work to meet an impossible deadline, the women reveal their hopes and struggles. Audiences can experience the warmth and laughter in the beauty of embracing who you are. Through Sunday, February 15. 8 pm (2 and 7 pm Sunday).

    Saturday, January 24

    Since 1983, the Bridal Extravaganza Show has been bringing brides and bridal businesses together.

Brown Convention Center) is a one-stop-shop bringing Houston’s wedding vendors together in one location. Taste cakes, eat food, drink cocktails, shake hands with your photographer, DJ, and caterer. Plus, it’s a great way to find those unique details that steal the show at a reception. 11 am.

    Gallery Sonja Roesch presents 35th Anniversary Show
    Gallery Sonja Roesch will have a special show celebrating its 35th anniversary, showcasing works from various contemporary reductive and concept-based artists.
