Reneé Rapp is FINALLY coming to Australia for the first time and will be joining the 2026 Australian Open lineup! So, can a gay girl get an amen? AMEN!!
That’s right, the least media-trained pop sensation is officially locked in to headline AO LIVE Presents at next year’s Aussie Open, landing in Melbourne for her debut show on January 31 at John Cain Arena.
Rapp joins a seriously stacked bill featuring The Kid LAROI, Spacey Jane, Sofi Tukker, Peggy Gou, and our immortal local queens The Veronicas.
AO organisers are hyped, with Entertainment Experience Producer Gus Carmichael confirming: “She’s one of the most exciting young artists in the world right now and we know fans will be so excited to see her in her Australian debut.”
This trip Down Under follows a whirlwind stretch for Rapp, who’s been selling out venues across North America and Europe with her Bite Me tour.
She’s had a little vocal drama, postponing two US shows recently (doctor’s orders, not diva behaviour, promise), but she’s back on track and ready to give Melbourne the icon treatment it deserves.
Will Reneé Rapp be playing side shows in Australia?
For now, AO LIVE Presents is your shot at seeing Rapp live — word on the street is we’re all waiting to hear if she’ll add extra Aussie dates, but nothing’s confirmed. Looks like fans will be fighting for a ticket to her Melbourne debut, so watch out!
