Addison Rae Announces World Tour : Dates, Tickets & Venue Details

LOS ANGELES — Just days after her debut album stormed the charts, pop’s brightest new comet, Addison Rae, has launched her first-ever world tour, sending fans across three continents into a frenzy. The 25-date “Addison Tour” will kick off in Dublin this August, sweep through iconic U.S. venues like Brooklyn’s Paramount, and land in Australia by November—marking the TikTok superstar’s full metamorphosis into a global headliner. “I can’t believe I get to sing and dance for you this fall,” she gushed on Instagram, her excitement practically bursting through the screen.

The Global Itinerary

The tour opens August 26 at Dublin’s National Stadium, weaving through Manchester’s gritty-chic Manchester Academy and London’s beloved O2 Forum Kentish Town by month’s end. September heats up with Paris’s storied L’Olympia, Amsterdam’s intimate Melkweg, and Berlin’s Uber Eats Music Hall before closing the European leg in Cologne. After a brief pause, Rae reignites the journey September 22 in Austin’s ACL Live, hitting Nashville’s The Pinnacle, Atlanta’s The Eastern, and Washington D.C.’s The Anthem. The October slate includes New York’s art-deco jewel Brooklyn Paramount, Chicago’s Riviera Theatre, and culminates at Los Angeles’s glittering Wiltern on October 19. Australia awaits in November with shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre wrapping the run on November 17.

Tickets & Fan Strategy

Presales began today (June 18) at 10 AM local time via Rae’s website, with general sales following Friday at the same hour. Industry insiders predict instant sellouts for cities like Brooklyn, London, and L.A., urging fans to set payment alerts and target mid-week shows for better odds. “Her Coachella cameo with Charli XCX broke the internet,” noted one promoter. “This tour? It’s the main event.”

From Viral Dances to Venue Stages

Rae’s live evolution has been meteoric. Her theatrical New York album release show—where she channeled Britney Spears in lingerie while debuting “Diet Pepsi”—hinted at the spectacle awaiting fans. Critics hailed her self-titled album as an “irresistible pop fantasy” blending hyperpop audacity with confessional depth. Now, with collaborations like Arca’s “Aquamarine” remix in her arsenal and Haim joining her onstage last month, the tour promises high-octane choreography, glitter bombs, and fan singalongs.

Why Just “Addison”?

In a telling shift, both the album and tour bear only her first name—a deliberate rebrand. “Signing ‘Addison Rae’ felt exhausting,” she recently confessed. “It’s going back to my roots.” The move signals artistic ownership as she steps onto global stages, leaving her social-media handle in the past.

More Than a Tour: A Pop Culture Moment

For the 24-year-old Louisiana native, this tour caps a jaw-dropping journey from viral dances to Billboard’s Top 5. Rolling Stone crowned her album a “distinctive, dreamy soundscape,” while fans swapped theories online about surprise guests (Charli XCX? Haim?). One thing’s certain: Addison isn’t just passing through these cities—she’s claiming them. As the presale counters tick downward, a generation raised on TikTok prepares to witness pop’s newest powerhouse rewrite the rules, one glitter-strewn stage at a time.

Pro tip: Pair Rae’s October 1 Brooklyn show with a fall foliage stroll in Prospect Park—the perfect pre-concert ritual for pop’s ultimate autumn.
