The show the Theater of the Clouds saw Rodrigo playing a 12-song set drawn mostly from her massively successful debut album, Sour, opening with Brutal and closing with Good 4 U.

In a recent interview with the LA Times, the three-time Grammy winner spoke about the decision to play relatively small venues on her first tour, despite the demand for tickets that has come with her huge success, ““I don’t think I should skip any steps.”. After tickets for the tour sold out quickly, Rodrigo shared a message with her fans on her socials, “been waiting so long to perform these songs live,” she wrote. “this is my very first tour and I’m so nervous but so excited to sing and dance the night away with you all!!! if you weren’t able to get tickets this time around there will be more tours in the future and I can’t wait to see you then!!! thank u to all my incredible fans.”
