Olivia Rodrigo turned heads and got hearts racing during her sold-out concert at Dublin’s Marlay Park on June 24. Surprising fans, she covered “I Love You” by the local post-punk sensation, Fontaines D.C., proving that she’s not just a pop sensation but also a true music lover at heart. As she confessed her obsession with the band to the enthusiastic crowd, you could feel the palpable excitement in the air. That’s right, Rodrigo played a song she’d been jamming to solo, and now, it’s officially on her setlist!
This performance was more than just a local nod; it set the stage for her preparing to headline Glastonbury Festival for the first time. Imagine going from belting out in your bedroom to commanding a legendary festival crowd! Olivia’s stripped-down version of the track built up into a powerful finale, showcasing her vocal prowess and emotional connection with the audience. A moment like that definitely makes one wonder if we should start a petition for her to cover more local tracks everywhere she goes!
It’s clear Rodrigo’s on a roll with her Guts World Tour, which kicked off following her sophomore album’s release. Just a few days after this unforgettable Dublin night, she’s set for a sold-out gig at BST Hyde Park—her biggest U.K. show yet. With so many incredible moments packed into this summer, what surprises do you think Olivia has up her sleeve for the rest of the tour?
