Live Review & Gallery: Renee Rapp Live in Sydney at First-Ever Hordern Pavilion Show as part of her ‘Bite Me’ Tour 29.01.2026

  • January 29, 2026
  • Deb Pelser
Renee Rapp
Renee Rapp’s first Sydney show feels less like an introduction and more like a statement of intent. Drawing from Snow Angel and her 2025 release Bite Me, she balances vulnerability with bite, shifting easily between sharp pop hooks and moments of emotional clarity. The Hordern Pavilion listens closely, singing back lyrics that already feel lived-in, as Rapp proves that her transition from stage and screen to headline artist is not only complete, but compelling.
