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.
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!
Wednesday 28 Jan: The Kid LAROI
Thursday 29 Jan: Spacey Jane
Friday 30 Jan: AO Pride Day feat. The Veronicas & Sofi Tukker
Saturday 31 Jan: Reneé Rapp
Sunday 1 Feb: Peggy Gou
So go forth, spread the gospel, and start planning your AO fit — Reneé Rapp’s Aussie debut is real and coming fast.
