Olivia Rodrigo kicked off El Clásico with a concert to remember for her biggest fans — and featuring her biggest hits.
On the slope of Montjuïc mountain in Barcelona, Teatre Grec was completely transformed for Rodrigo’s very own Spotify Billions Club Live concert. Upon arrival, guests were greeted not only to a picturesque outdoor amphitheater reminiscent of Ancient Greece, but also lush landscapes completely decked out to celebrate her achievements both on the streaming platform and in honor of her new partnership with FC Barcelona ahead of the big match. On the grounds outside of the bowl were merch stands for the football collab, access to free food and drinks and even a major photo moment with all nine of Rodrigo’s Billions Club plaques.
Beyond the atmosphere, the show itself was absolutely electric. Following similar sets by Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus and more, Rodrigo performed almost all her songs with over a billion streams on Spotify, plus a few others, that all had the crowd singing their hearts out. The free show was reserved for about 1,500 of the most devoted Livies, with invites going out to her top fans in the area “selected through their listening on Spotify,” according to an early press release.
It all went down just two days before rivals FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will go head-to-head at the recently-renovated Spotify Camp Nou, where Barça could be crowned league champions if they take home the win. There, FCB players will also be wearing an exclusive version of their iconic blaugrana jersey with Rodrigo’s logo in place of Spotify’s.
A celebration of Rodrigo’s biggest hits almost feels too soon, considering her big break was barely five years ago. But it was a night well-deserved, with the pop star giving it her all and the crowd giving back just as much.
