Videos posted to TikTok show people already setting up tents outside RAC Arena to secure their spot in line. One woman who walked past the venue on Wednesday night spotted 16 tents pitched near the GA entry door and couldn't believe hardcore fans were there two days in advance. While the desperate fans are excited to see their idol in the flesh, the camping out does go against the arena's queuing policy. 'For your safety, we don't encourage queuing at the arena before 8am on each day of the event as there are no external facilities available to accommodate this, including bathrooms,' the website says. 'When onsite, please be mindful of bringing appropriate weather protection.' If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Abrams first visited Australia in January 2024, which saw Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney fans line streets and six concerts selling out in minutes after going on sale. Abrams quickly rose to fame after her catchy love songs went viral on TikTok and kicked off her sold out, 23-date North American run in September. Most recently she features on a song with Selena Gomez called Call Me When You Breakup, co-produced by Benny Blanco.

It's No Secret: Gracie Abrams Hits Three Non-Consecutive Weeks at ARIA No. 1
Gracie Abrams reclaims the No. 1 spot on the ARIA Albums Chart this week with The Secret of Us (via Interscope/Universal), marking its third non-consecutive week at the top, while Australian artist Dope Lemon earns another top 10 debut with his latest release Golden Wolf, which enters at No. 8. Golden Wolf marks Angus Stone's fifth album under the Dope Lemon moniker. The project continues a strong run on the ARIA Albums Chart, following previous entries Honey Bones (No. 11 in 2016), Smooth Big Cat (No. 2 in 2019), Rose Pink Cadillac (No. 2 in 2022), and Kimosabe (No. 9 in 2023). Stone also reached No. 2 with his 2012 solo release Broken Lights and has enjoyed chart success as one half of Angus & Julia Stone, including two No. 1 albums — Down the Way (2010) and Angus & Julia Stone (2014).

Meanwhile, rising New York artist Sombr makes a major leap with 'Undressed,' which jumps from No. 11 to No. 2, earning him his first top 10 hit in Australia. His second entry, 'Back To Friends,' also climbs this week, moving from No. 19 to No. 12. Ravyn Lenae's 'Love Me Not' enters the top five, rising from No. 12 to No. 5 to become her first top 10 hit.

Amazing Gracie: Pop's new superstar kicks off her Australian tour
Not long before taking the stage for the first gig on her Australian tour, Gracie Abrams appears on my Zoom, frantically whirling around her Sydney hotel room like she's in a spin cycle. She's just after a power outlet for her laptop – 'My computer's at 2 per cent, and it's unacceptable,' she says – but as a visual metaphor for the pop star's past 12 months, the frenzied blur couldn't be more apt. The 25-year-old toured here last January with her debut album Good Riddance, performing at mid-size venues like Sydney's Hordern Pavilion and Melbourne's The Forum. On Friday, she returned as a megastar with a sold-out audience at Qudos Bank Arena hanging onto her every word. 'It's crazy because those rooms [on the Good Riddance tour] felt so big at the time,' says Abrams, dressed casually in a black hoodie, her trademark Jane-from- Daria bob in disarray. 'I can't believe any of these people know I exist, let alone spend their money to be here. To be playing these arenas, it's mind-blowing.' Since releasing her second album The Secret of Us last June, Abrams' profile has risen meteorically. Buoyed by hits Close To You and That's So True, a vicious kiss-off that shook the rafters as Friday's encore, the album has surpassed a billion streams and spent 45 weeks and counting near the top of ARIA's albums chart. 'It's just so f---ing bizarre,' Abrams laughs. 'I couldn't have ever anticipated this album doing what it's done. It feels like I've lived 10 lives in the past year.' Last year, Abrams supported Taylor Swift across 50 dates of Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour, where she clearly learnt how to handle her own ever expanding stages. At Friday's gig – dressed in a silver sequined gown, no shoes – her command was obvious, tilting between pained balladry, flirty dance-pop, and random chit-chat with fans who gifted her their own journals and scrapbooks. (Unlike other stan groups, Abrams' haven't yet settled on their own collective noun; Redditors keep trying to make 'Gracelanders' happen.)
