Global pop superstar Olivia Rodrigo is coming to Ireland this week to play two sold-out shows at Dublin's 3Arena.
Rodrigo has become one of the biggest names in pop music ever since the former High School Musical star released her hit song Drivers License to instant mania when she was just 17.
The uplifting piano-led ballad went six times platinum and was No1 in many countries, and became a defining song of the early decade.

Her debut album SOUR was also a huge hit, of course, a Grammy winner fuelled by energetic pop, power ballads and catchy bubblegum punk.
Rodrigo is currently embarking on a massive 57-date world tour in support of her second studio album, GUTS, which was released last year to critical acclaim.
The GUTS world tour is Rodrigo's first arena tour, taking her to iconic venues around the world, including a pitstop in Dublin to perform at the 3Arena on Tuesday (April 30) and Wednesday (May 1).
We have all the info you need ahead of the singer's two Dublin dates, including what time the singer is expected on stage at the 3Arena, what songs fans can expect to hear and how you can secure last minute tickets to the gigs.
TicketsTickets to both of Rodrigo's Dublin concerts sold soon after tickets went on sale last September.
However, fans who missed out on a ticket still have a chance see the singer live at the 3Arena as Ticketmaster has released a small number of tickets that were previously held for the artist.
At the time of writing, there are still standing tickets available for both Tuesday's gig and Wednesday's concert via Ticketmaster but you'll have to be quick as they are expected to be snapped up soon.
Support actLA singer-songwriter Remi Wolf will be the support act for both Dublin dates. Wolf is known for her colourful brand of pop that incorporates funk, disco, left-field, and lo-fi bedroom pop.
She began releasing singles in 2019, earning praise for her colorful debut EP You're a Dog.
After signing with Island Records, Wolf issued two more EPs in quick succession ahead of her 2021 full-length debut, Juno, which Rolling Stone described as “a major debut for a tremendous emerging artist."
Stage timesPromoters MCD have confirmed that doors at the 3Arena will open each night at 6.30pm, with Remi Wolf set to kick off her support set at 7.30pm.
Olivia Rodrigo is expected on stage at 8.30pm on both Tuesday and Wednesday, with the two gigs expected to finish just after 10.15pm.
An MCD spokesperson added that all times are subject to change, so fans are advised to get to the venue with plenty of time to spare.
Rodrigo has been sticking to a pretty firm setlist for most of the gigs on her GUTS world tour so fans should expect to hear the following tracks at the singer's shows in Dublin:

Driving to the 3Arena on the night isn't recommended, but if you are, there'll be limited car parking available at Point Village car park.
