Olivia Rodrigo review
At 10am on Thursday, Olivia Rodrigo announced in an Instagram post that she would play a concert in Brooklyn later that night. Tickets went on sale at precisely the same moment – for the princely sum of $25 a pop – not through a Ticketmaster presale code or a virtual waiting room or one of the other digital gauntlets numbingly familiar to today’s concertgoer but in-person only from the box office at Warsaw, the century-old Polish community hall turned music venue in Greenpoint.
TL;DR
- Olivia Rodrigo announced and performed a surprise pop-up concert in Brooklyn on Thursday.
- Tickets for the 1,000-capacity show were sold in-person for $25, leading to a quick sell-out.
- The intimate concert showcased Rodrigo's talent and charisma, contrasting with her usual arena shows.
- The setlist leaned heavily on her new album, 'You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love', with only a few older songs included.
- The performance featured Rodrigo's polished but relaxed stage presence, engaging directly with the audience.
