Who will be at Australia’s Hayu FanFest?
Bringing light to our Wednesday, Hayu officially confirmed all the TV celebs that’ll be heading Down Under for Australia’s first-ever FanFest.
Reality TV fiends can expect to see The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Cynthia Bailey, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Meredith Marks, The Real Housewives of London‘s Juliet Mayhew, The Real Housewives of New York City and Ultimate Girls Trip‘s Dorinda Medley, and The Real Housewives of Miami‘s Alexia Nepola.
Fans will also feast their eyes on Southern Charm duo Craig Conover and Shep Rose, alongside Australia’s finest, Captain Jason Chambers of Below Deck Down Under.
Hayu has brought some incredible Bravo talent Down Under in recent years, including Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Kyle Richards and Teresa Giudice.
Maybe, one day, Jen Shah will make an appearance now that she’s out of prison. Or perhaps Hayu will answer all our hopes and dreams and announce they’re rebooting The Real Housewives of Melbourne?
When is Australia’s Hayu FanFest?
Mark it in your diary, Hayu FanFest is locked in for August 15, 2026, at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion. Only the bougiest spot for our reality TV stars.
What is Hayu FanFest?
In case you’re out of the loop, BravoCon is a huge three-day fan convention in the US that brings together hundreds of stars from the Bravo universe like The Real Housewives, Vanderpump Rules and Below Deck. Fans can attend panels, Q&As, live shows and performances and meet their fave cast members from different franchises.
Meanwhile, Bravo FanFest launched in Miami last year as a single-day event, and Hayu FanFest is an international take on the fan-focused extravaganza. London hosted the inaugural Hayu FanFest in 2024, which was a massive success, and now Aussies get to join in on the fun.
Attendees can look forward to cast interviews, immersive brand activations, meet-and-greets, photo ops and exclusive merchandise.
How do I get tickets to Australia’s Hayu FanFest?
Clutch your wine glasses, ‘cos there’s no doubt you will be fighting a bunch of fans for a shot at these tickets.
Hayu subscribers who’ve opted into marketing and pre-sale get first dibs on tickets via the Hayu pre-sale, which kicks off on Tuesday, May 12, at 12pm AEST.
General public tickets will go on sale via Ticketek on Thursday, May 14, at 12pm.
Given that London’s 2024 Hayu FanFest sold out in a matter of minutes, you’ll definitely want to have your notifications turned on if you’re vying for that sweet, sweet pre-sale.
We still have a couple of months until the reality TV festivities officially kick off. However, to make things more exciting, Hayu has teased that more announcements will be shared ahead of August.
So… maybe Jen Shah will drop in? Who knows. Anything can happen.
