Reneé Rapp is set to make her long-awaited Australian debut in 2026, announcing two exclusive headline shows to coincide with her appearance at AO Live.
The timing could not be more perfect. Rapp’s second album, BITE ME, has marked the beginning of a bold new chapter filled with bite (in every sense), bravado and emotional clarity.
The record leans into confidence and controlled chaos, blending her signature vulnerability with a sharper and more self-assured edge. If BITE ME is any indication, her live shows will be electric.
Her debut album, Snow Angel, laid the groundwork for this moment and helped push her catalogue beyond 1.4 billion streams, an extraordinary feat for an artist only beginning to find her footing.
Rapp’s star power extends far beyond her music. Before becoming one of pop’s most compelling new voices, she was already making waves on both stage and screen.
She originated the role of Regina George in the Mean Girls Broadway musical before reprising the character in the 2024 film adaptation, and she starred in The Sex Lives of College Girls for three seasons, bringing her trademark wit and emotional nuance to every scene.
She’ll kick things off on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, under the open sky at Brisbane’s Riverstage, before heading to Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Thursday, January 29.
Then it’s down to Melbourne, where she’ll join the AO Live line-up at John Cain Arena on Saturday 31 January, ahead of the women’s final. Reneé will be performing alongside The Kid LAROI, Spacey Jane, Peggy Gou, The Veronicas and Sofi Tukker.
