Renée Rapp will make her Australian debut next year as she has been confirmed to perform at the Australian Open’s AO Live event. Scheduled for January 31, 2024, this performance will take place at the John Cain Arena in Melbourne, marking a significant milestone in Rapp’s rising music career.
The Australian Open has curated an impressive lineup for the event, with Rapp joining prominent artists such as Australian pop icons The Veronicas, Kid LAROI, Peggy Gou, Spacey Jane, and SOFI TUKKER. Rapp’s inclusion in this prestigious event follows the successful performance by Kesha earlier this year, who captivated audiences with a vibrant show that included drag queens and a rainbow-themed celebration.
Gus Carmichael, the Entertainment Experience Producer for the Australian Open, expressed enthusiasm about Rapp’s participation. He noted, “The AO is so excited to bring Renée Rapp to Melbourne. Especially as it’s her first time performing in Australia. 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.”
Rapp has gained considerable recognition following her role in the musical adaptation of the popular film Mean Girls, released in 2024. Prior to that, her debut album, Snow Angel, achieved moderate success. Her latest album, Bite Me, has garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, reaching the top 10 of music charts globally. Notably, it peaked at number one in the UK and secured the number three spot in both the US and Australia.
While no additional shows have been confirmed for Rapp in Australia at this time, anticipation is building for her performance, which promises to be a highlight of the Australian Open festivities. As fans eagerly await her arrival, it is hoped that this event will herald further concert announcements when she touches down on Australian shores in early 2024.
