Reneé Rapp Locks In Debut Australian Show For 2026

Fans have been waiting for a long time, but it’s finally time: Reneé Rapp will make her Australian debut in 2026.

Joining next year’s star-studded AO Live line-up, the American musician and actress will appear alongside The Kid LAROI, Peggy Gou, Spacey Jane, The Veronicas, and Sofi Tukker.

Next year’s event spans five days, starting on Wednesday, 28 January, and wrapping on Sunday, 1 February, coinciding with the final matches of the Australian Open.

Rapp will perform at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena ahead of the Women’s Singles Final on Saturday, 31 January. Live music will be going from 2 pm until 7 pm AEDT, with Rapp set to be joined by special guests. The show finishes before the Final begins at 7:30 pm AEDT. Tickets are available now via Ticketmaster.

Reneé Rapp wraps the American leg of her BITE ME tour this week. In March, she heads to Europe and the UK, leaving plenty of space for potential extra tour dates while in Australia. At the time of publication, it’s unconfirmed if she’ll play more Australian shows.

Rapp experienced her global breakout in 2022 after portraying Regina George in the Broadway musical adaptation of Mean Girls. In 2024, she reprised the role for the film’s reboot.

In 2023, she released her debut album, Snow Angel. Earlier this year, she released the highly anticipated follow-up album, BITE ME, which debuted at #3 on the ARIA Albums Chart. She’s currently one of the most popular artists across the globe, with over 1.4 billion streams to her name.

Rapp’s career has been blooming, with the singer having performed at live music institutions, such as the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Boston Calling, and more. Plus, she’s appeared on talk shows such as Saturday Night Live, The Today Show’s Summer Concert Series, and Late Night with Seth Meyers.
