Olivia Rodrigo is going on tour, and she’s bringing the next generation of pop talent — as well as a beloved ‘90s alt-rock band — with her.

In 2024, Rodrigo will be joined by funk-and-soul up-and-comer Remi Wolf, dark pop princess Chappell Roan, song of the summer contender PinkPantheress and perhaps most surprisingly, the Breeders (fronted by the Pixies’ Kim Deal), across a 57-date run.

The tour announcement Wednesday follows the release last week of Rodrigo’s highly anticipated and critically celebrated sophomore album, “GUTS.” It also comes a day after she performed at the MTV Video Music Awards.

The GUTS World Tour, Rodrigo’s first-ever arena tour, kicks off on Feb. 23, in Palm Springs, California, at the Acrisure Arena. It will hit most major cities in North America and Europe before returning stateside and closing out with two nights at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles County that August.

The singer will also sell a limited number of $20 (or the local currency equivalent, plus taxes and applicable fees) Silver Star Tickets in an attempt to make attending her concert more affordable. Those must be purchased in pairs, with a limit of two per purchase, and will allot seats located next to one another.

According to a press release, standard tickets will range from $49.50-$199.50 (plus taxes and fees) in the US.

Ron Howard's "Eden" may be based on a true story, but its actors at the Toronto International Film Festival said on Saturday the Darwinian story of survival departed from the historical record in one significant way: the cast members got along famously.

"Eden" is a story of eight idealistic Germans who move to an uninhabited island in the Galapagos archipelago in late 1920s. Before departing, the settlers had little in common except the will to escape a mundane of life in Weimer-era Germany and build new lives in an unspoiled paradise.

Eventually, however, the forces of nature and unscrupulous newcomers begin to pit the islanders against one another, and many of them mysteriously disappear.

Although the movie is set in the Galapagos, the island chain made famous by Charles Darwin, the movie was shot in Queensland, Australia.

Vanessa Kirby, known for her roles in "The Crown" and "Napoleon", took the role of Dore Strauch, the love interest of German philosopher Friedrich Ritter, played by Jude Law.

Kirby told Reuters the filming of "Eden" felt a bit like working on the reality TV show "Survivor."

"It felt really intense, in the wilderness we were in the 100 degree heat in Australia in summer," Kirby told Reuters on the red carpet. "We were sweaty we were bitten by everything, so it was real."

Even so, everybody bonded on the set. "We got along really well," she said. "Everyone in German accent: can you imagine that? It was really nice," she said.

Daniel Bruhl, who plays the idealistic Heinz Wittmer, told Reuters that the moment the cast came together they were committed to the story.

"We knew that we were doing this for Ron. This was his passion project for years," Bruhl said of the Oscar-winning director. "He has a contagious and good energy, and he did the job of casting people from different places. It is a very eclectic mix."

Unlike the characters they portrayed in the film, he said, the cast enjoyed the project and are still in touch with one another.
