Rodrigo is releasing her third album ‘ You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love ’ next Friday (June 12), a record  she has described as “experimental” and full of “sad love songs” . It will include the recent singles ‘ Drop Dead ’ and ‘ The Cure ’, and will centre around the feelings of “jealousy” and “longing” that arose from her first “big girl relationship” .

See the full tracklist for the new album  here .

Rodrigo has already  cited The Cure, New Order, Joy Division, The White Stripes and Bikini Kill as sources of inspiration for the record, and also sparked rumours that Geese frontman Cameron Winter  appears on the album after being seen at a restaurant with him.

Since confirming album three, the ‘Deja Vu’ singer has announced a massive ‘ Unraveled Tour ’, which includes support from   Wolf Alice ,  The Last Dinner Party , Devon Again,  Die Spitz , and Grace Ives.

Already,  more dates have been added  to the list due to high demand, including multiple nights at London’s O2.  Visit here  for UK tickets,  here  for international tickets, and find a list of shows  here .

The tour is the first since the critically acclaimed ‘Guts World Tour’ which took place last year and was her biggest to date – with 95 sold-out shows and over 1.4 million fans in attendance.

Shows included an unforgettable  Pyramid Stage headline set at Glastonbury 2025 , where she brought out The Cure’s  Robert Smith  as a special guest. In  a four-star review , NME wrote: “There is no doubt about the commitment that Rodrigo has put into this set. For the few naysayers doubting whether or not the 22-year-old was ready to take on the coveted Pyramid slot as the last headliner before a fallow year, this one that will stand the test of time and leave us impatient for the Glasto magic to return.”

Primavera Sound, meanwhile, has been dealing with severe weather conditions this week, which led to the cancellation of multiple sets, including  Massive Attack, Doja Cat, Bad Gyal , Alex G and Mac DeMarco .
