When news broke Thursday (Aug. 6) morning that Olivia Rodrigo was playing Brooklyn’s Warsaw — a ballroom-style punk venue nestled in Greenpoint with a capacity of about 1,100 — that very evening, it took less than 30 minutes for the line to start winding around the block as fans biked, Uber-ed and quite literally ran to get in line for tickets, which had to be purchased IRL at the box office. While the venue has played host to plenty of musical legends (Jack White, L7, Stiff Little Fingers, the Prophets of Rage supergroup) over the years, it’s not often a pop star in the midst of their imperial phase performs a one-off underplay like this. (Sam Smith did play Warsaw last winter, but fans had 24 nights to catch them during their residency.)
