US pop star announces debut Aussie tour but some fans sad
Addison Rae has announced her first ever global headline tour and will make her debut Australian appearance later this year.
The 24-year-old pop star will embark on her world adventure on August 26 where she is set to take the stage in Dublin before stopping off in England, Europe and North America.
After a Los Angeles concert, Addison will make her way Down Under where she is set to perform three shows to Aussie fans for the first time.
The Diet Pepsi singer will be in Melbourne on November 11, Brisbane on November 14 and wrapping up in Sydney on November 17.
Unfortunately she has left WA fans feeling disappointed as she has not announced any Perth shows at this stage.
Addison's tour comes after the release of her self-titled debut album which features 13 songs and this week debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and number two on the ARIA Albums Chart.
The album has been praised for its experimental sound, something Addison is becoming known for, drawing on inspiration from the 1990s as seen with the cover art.

However, some critics have labelled Addison's lyrics simplistic and cliched.
She celebrated the release with an album party at New York City's iconic The Box, marking her debut live performance earlier this month.
The songstress performed latest fan favourite, Fame is a Gun, as well as Diet Pepsi, Aquamarine and more.
Addison — who recently announced she was dropping 'Rae' from her name — began to rise in the music industry at the end of last year.
She was already an established social media personality, becoming a household name on TikTok in 2019 amassing more than 88 million followers.

The star is the fifth most-followed individual on the video-sharing platform.
Addison was studying at Louisiana State University at the time, and was one of the app's early success stories, rising to fame with quick-hit lip syncs and dances alongside influencers like Charli D'Amelio.
The entertainer grew up a competitive dancer and cheerleader and once dreamed of dancing for the LSU Tiger Girls in the small American town.
Frontier Touring members can get tickets for her Australian dates when the presale goes live on Thursday at 10am.
General public tickets are available on Friday at 10am.

Unbearably cute! Perth Zoo's newest and cutest arrival
Animal lovers might just be lucky enough to spot Perth Zoo's newest and cutest arrival — a seven-month-old koala joey. The adorable joey has finally decided to venture outside its mother Mindjil's pouch and forage for some tasty eucalyptus leaves. The baby — born about the size of a jellybean — has been monitored closely over the past months as it began to poke a little pink arm or foot out of the pouch until it was ready to climb out and see the world. Now, as the joey grows in size and confidence, lucky visitors might see it hitching a ride on mum's back, providing the perfect opportunity to witness some koala-ty content. Perth Zoo Australian fauna keeper Bronte Winterbottom said the birth of the unbearably sweet addition to the zoo family was a big achievement. 'This joey is pretty special for all of us as it's one of the first we've had in a few years,' she said. 'Last week was the first time we saw the joey eating eucalyptus leaves, being a proper koala instead of just nursing off mum. The joey was born about the size of a jellybean late last year to first-time mum Mindjil and dad Laurie. Credit: Perth Zoo / Perth Zoo 'The whole milestone process is pretty slow because a lot of Australian marsupials take a long time to grow and develop, so that's why we aren't expecting (it) to be independent until at least another whole year.' Perth Zoo visitors should be on the lookout for the joey, with their best chance to see the furry face during a free koala keeper talk, which runs at 3pm four times a week. It's hoped keepers will be able to successfully record the gender of the joey in the coming weeks. The joey's parents arrived just last year as part of Perth Zoo's role in the regionally coordinated koala breeding program. Despite being a Perth Zoo favourite, koalas — who sleep up to 20 hours a day — are not native to WA. In the wild, they're found in South Australia and throughout bushland in the eastern states.

Rebel Wilson rushed to hospital after almost being left 'permanently disfigured' following freak accident on the set of new film Bride Hard
Rebel Wilson has spoken out about almost being left 'permanently disfigured' after her nose was split open in a freak accident on a new movie set. The Australian actress, 45, is set to star alongside Anna Camp in the upcoming action comedy film Bride Hard, which will hit cinemas on Friday. Bride Hard sees Rebel play a maid of honour who doubles as a world-class secret agent, putting her skills to the test when armed mercenaries crash the wedding ceremony and force her to take down the bad guys. In an interview with Access Hollywood on Friday, the Pitch Perfect star said all hell broke lose when a gun accidentally "whacked" her in the face and left her injured in a "pool of blood" on the final night of shooting. "It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open," Rebel told the US entertainment news program. "So I left set, it was really my last night of shooting…' '...the last fight sequence, my nose gets busted open, it's a pool of blood, if anyone has had a facial injury, they know, there's so much blood.' Rebel said she was "freaking out" as production called an ambulance and a plastic surgeon to mend her broken nose. The star said she was thankful they called the first responder promptly because otherwise, she would have been left "permanently disfigured." "So we got the plastic surgeon, they did all the stitches, and you can't tell now, really, you can't tell," Rebel said. Recent photos of the Australian A-lister show no immediately noticeable difference in her nose compared to before the accident. The near-miss marks Rebel's first serious accident on the set of a film throughout her two decades working in the Hollywood film industry. She has recently embarked on a media blitz in the US ahead of the release of Bride Hard and has heavily promoted the film on Instagram. Rebel on Monday revealed her fashion designer wife, Ramona Agruma, made her screen debut with a cameo in the highly anticipated film. "She was actually offered, but she has no desire to be in the spotlight," the actress told Today. "But weirdly she has a cameo in Bride Hard because they needed somebody to speak Russian to play a Russian scientist." "And so Ramona's like, 'Yeah, all right.' She just stepped in. She's not an actress, but she just came in and crushed it."

Stormi mocks mum Kylie Jenner's King Kylie era
Kylie Jenner's daughter Stormi has hilariously mocked her mother's iconic King Kylie era in a new viral video. The Kylie Cosmetics founder, 27, took to TikTok on Monday with a clip of her daughter, who she shares with rapper Travis Scott, reacting to a 2014 photo of her. 'Did you dye your hair in that photo?' The shocked seven-year-old asked her makeup mogul mother in the video, to which Jenner replied 'No it was a wig. Mummy used to love wearing wigs, coloured wigs'. 'A blue wig with a red outfit? Not a good combo,' Stormi sassily told her mother, with her eyes wide open and her hands on her hips. 'That's what she gets!' the seven-year-old told the camera. The video received over 58 million views within the first day. Kylie Jenner Credit: Braodimage;Shutterstock The King Kylie era, which spanned from 2014 to 2016, coincided with the launch of her makeup brand Kylie Cosmetics. The reality star was often spotted sporting colourful wigs and skin-tight clothing in this period, with the era earning its name from the makeup mogul's Instagram handle at the time. While Stormi doesn't seem sold on her mother's former style, fans in the comments shared their love for the era. 'One day she'll understand the cultural significance of the King Kylie era… one day,' one fan commented on the post. 'She doesn't know King Kylie paid for that house,' another added. In a 2024 interview with Elle, Jenner said while King Kylie will always be a part of her, she has grown out of certain trends since becoming a mother.
