Reneé Rapp is officially set to make her mark in Australia, announcing her first headline concerts as she brings the Bite Me era across the globe. The pop star will touch down for two special shows ahead of her appearance at AO Live during the Australian Open 2026, giving fans a rare chance to see her in an intimate setting before she steps onto one of the country’s biggest stages.
Rapp begins the short run in Brisbane on Jan. 27, performing at the Riverstage, before heading to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Jan. 29. Both shows lead directly into her AO Live Presents performance at John Cain Arena on Jan. 31, where she will take the stage just before the Australian Open women’s final. Her appearance is part of a stacked 2026 AO Live lineup that also includes The Kid LAROI, Spacey Jane, The Veronicas, SOFI TUKKER, and Peggy Gou.
Fans will have multiple chances to secure tickets. Mastercard cardholders and those with artist presale access can jump in on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 9 a.m. local time. Live Nation follows with a presale on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 10 a.m., and general sales open Friday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. All shows will use mobile-only ticketing, with a limit of 10 tickets per customer.
The Australian announcement caps off a huge run for Rapp. Her sophomore album Bite Me, released Aug. 1, 2025, scored her first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 and debuted within the top three. It also marked her first No. 1 album in the U.K., further proving her rising global impact. Her breakout 2023 debut Snow Angel previously reached No. 44 on the Billboard 200 and delivered the biggest first week for a debut album by a female artist that year.
Throughout 2025, Rapp has been on an intense tour schedule across North America, with plans to continue through Europe in March 2026. After briefly postponing some U.S. dates due to illness, she is now back in full force and preparing for another milestone moment as she kicks off 2026 in Australia.
