Olivia Rodrigo Tour Gets a Bass Assist From Julia Cumming
By Riley Cruz
Olivia Rodrigo’s ‘Unraveled’ tour already has plenty of pop power behind it, and now there’s a sweet support-slot crossover happening along the way.
According to NME, Sunflower Bean’s Julia Cumming has stepped in to play bass for Wolf Alice while the band supports Rodrigo on the road. It is one of those behind-the-scenes music-world moments that feels especially fun for fans who love seeing artists support each other in real time.
Julia Cumming joins Wolf Alice for October
Cumming shared the news on Instagram, and NME reported that she said she was “so excited” to join Wolf Alice for “the month of October.”
After her first night with the band in Charlotte, North Carolina, Cumming also posted the very relatable and very happy caption, “My life is cool,” according to NME.
That pretty much sums up the vibe. A touring lineup shift could feel stressful, but this one has turned into a warm little moment for the artists and the fans watching it happen.
A big tour with a cool support story
NME reported that Rodrigo’s ‘Unraveled’ tour is a 65-date run connected to her third album, ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love.’ With Wolf Alice supporting, the tour is already bringing together different corners of the pop and alternative world.
Adding Cumming to the mix gives the support set another point of connection. Sunflower Bean and Wolf Alice each have their own fanbases, and a moment like this can introduce listeners to someone new before the headliner even takes the stage.
For Rodrigo fans, that matters because a big tour is not just about the main set. The opener can become part of the memory, too. Maybe it is a song that sticks with you. Maybe it is a player you did not expect. Maybe it is just the fun of seeing musicians jump in and make the show work.
Olivia’s chart momentum continues
The tour news is landing while Rodrigo has songs making noise on the charts, too.
On the Billboard Hot 100 dated October 10, 2026, “Stupid Song” ranked at No. 9, according to Billboard Canada. Her song “Drop Dead” also appeared on that same chart at No. 20.
So between the tour, the album era, and this bass-player assist on the support side, there is a lot for Rodrigo listeners to follow right now.
A little live-music teamwork always hits nicely between the songs we’re playing for you on Mix 96.7.
