Reneé Rapp Announces First Australian Headline Shows
Reneé Rapp, the rising pop sensation known for her unique blend of theater and contemporary music, is set to take Australia by storm with her highly anticipated “Bite Me” tour. Marking her first headline shows in the country, Rapp will perform at Brisbane’s Riverstage on January 27, 2026, and Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on January 29, just ahead of her performance at the AO Live concert series at Melbourne Park’s John Cain Arena on January 31.

The Australian leg of her tour comes as part of a star-studded lineup that includes artists like The Kid LAROI, Spacey Jane, and The Veronicas, showcasing Rapp’s growing prominence in the music industry.
The excitement surrounding Rapp’s Australian shows is palpable, especially following the success of her album “Bite Me,” which debuted on August 1, 2025. This album not only marked her first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200, where it impressively debuted in the top three, but it also secured her a No. 1 spot on the Official Albums Chart in the UK. Following the success of her debut album “Snow Angel” in 2023, which achieved a remarkable first-week performance for a female artist, Rapp has solidified her status as a formidable force in pop music. With her ongoing tour across North America and an upcoming European leg in March 2026, Rapp’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
