The set is part of the AO Live concert series, where she joins a 2026 bill that also features The Kid LAROI, Spacey Jane, The Veronicas, SOFI TUKKER and Peggy Gou.
According to Ticketmaster, Mastercard cardholders and fans with access to the artist presale can jump in from Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 9 a.m. local time, followed by a Live Nation presale on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 10 a.m. General on-sale begins Friday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. All shows are mobile-ticket only, with a limit of 10 tickets per customer per show.
The Australian run extends Rapp’s busy Bite Me campaign. The album, released Aug. 1, 2025, became her first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200, where it debuted in the top three, and earned her first U.K. No. 1 album on the Official Albums Chart.
The project followed her 2023 debut Snow Angel, which reached No. 44 on the Billboard 200 and scored the biggest first week for a debut album by a female artist that year, helping establish Rapp as a rising pop force beyond her theater and TV fanbase.
Rapp has been touring heavily behind Bite Me across North America in 2025, with the trek scheduled to continue through Europe in March 2026 following her rescheduled U.S. dates this November after a short illness-related postponement.

The Australian Recording Industry Association announced the new category on Nov. 17, ahead of the 2025 ARIA Awards, where the Melbourne-raised DJ, producer and songwriter will receive the honor.
Announced Monday (Nov. 17), the new prize will debut at the 2025 ARIA Awards in partnership with Spotify, where the Australian DJ, producer and songwriter will be formally celebrated for a breakout period that’s pushed Australian dance music to new heights. The award is designed to sit alongside the ARIA Hall of Fame and is decided at the discretion of the ARIA board, spotlighting artists whose international achievements and cultural influence extend far beyond home soil. Aria
Over the past 12 months, Dom has stacked milestones across touring, charts and streaming. He earned his first Grammy nomination for best remixed recording at the 66th annual Grammy Awards for his rework of Gorillaz’s “New Gold,” featuring Tame Impala and Bootie Brown.
His 2024 national homecoming tour sold more than 170,000 tickets across four cities, marking the largest-ever run by an Australian electronic artist.
On the festival circuit, Dom has moved from late-night club slots to top lines at major global events, including Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza Chicago, Bonnaroo, Reading & Leeds and Creamfields, alongside a 10-week residency at Hï Ibiza, which has been billed as the world’s No. 1 club. He’s also set to take another leap at home with a headline show at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on Dec. 20 — his first Australian stadium date and another first for a local electronic artist.
Streaming metrics tell a similar story. According to ARIA, Dom has amassed more than 1.5 billion streams globally, including over 450 million Spotify streams this year alone, and regularly pulls in eight-figure monthly listeners on the platform. On Billboard’s dance charts, his recent collaboration with Kid Cudi, “Forever,” debuted in the top 10 of Hot Dance/Electronic Songs in April, underlining his growing footprint in the U.S. market.
The ARIA Global Impact Award presented by Spotify will be handed out during the 2025 ARIA Awards ceremony, which streams live from 5 p.m. AEDT on Nov. 19 via Paramount+, with additional coverage across ARIA’s official social channels.

Malone added in the comments, “how bout them cowboys?!!”
In a separate statement, the “I Had Some Help” singer added, “I’m from Texas. I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years. It’s a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people.”
Detroit native Jack White also announced his performance through Instagram on Sunday, sharing a post showing a blue vinyl album being printed, with the record’s circular label highlighting his halftime show appearance. “Hot off the press,” the caption read.
White’s announcement follows news that fellow Detroit artist Eminem, along with his longtime manager Paul Rosenberg, signed a multi-year partnership with the Lions to executive-produce the team’s Thanksgiving halftime show. Slim Shady and Rosenberg will consult on all aspects of the halftime show’s production and presentation, including talent selection, from 2025 through 2027.
Earlier in the week, it was confirmed that Lil Jon will perform during the Bengals-Ravens Thanksgiving night game. The rapper will also appear at the 99th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City earlier that day.

Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl spends a sixth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Nov. 22). The set earned 110,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending Nov. 13 (down 8%), according to Luminate.
The Life of a Showgirl is only the second album in 2025 to spend its first six weeks at No. 1, following Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem (which spent its first eight weeks atop the list, of its total 12 at No. 1). Swift’s last album, The Tortured Poets Department, spent its first 12 weeks at No. 1 in 2024, of its total 17 weeks atop the list. Three of her albums have led for their first six chart weeks or more, starting with Folklore, which reigned for its first six weeks in 2020, of eight overall weeks at No. 1.
Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, Rosalía earns her first top 10 with the No. 4 debut of LUX, Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving hits a new peak as it rises 7-5 and YEONJUN’s debut solo album, NO LABELS PART 01, enters at No. 10.
The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new, Nov. 22, 2025-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Tuesday (Nov. 18). For all chart news, follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X and Instagram.
Of The Life of a Showgirl’s 110,000 equivalent album units earned in the latest tracking week, SEA units comprise 88,500 (down 10%, equaling 115.91 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — it’s No. 1 on Top Streaming Albums for a sixth week), album sales comprise 19,000 (up 7%; it holds at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise 2,500 (down 32%).
At Nos. 2 and 3 on the Billboard 200, Morgan Wallen’s I’m the Problem and the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack trade places as compared to a week ago. The former chart-toppers earned 76,000 equivalent album units (down 2%) and 75,000 units (down 11%), respectively.
Rosalía gets her first top 10 with the No. 4 debut of LUX, as it arrives with a personal-best week of 46,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, SEA units comprise 27,000 (equaling 34.49 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks — a career-high streaming week for the artist, as it debuts at No. 9 on Top Streaming Albums), album sales comprise 19,000 (her best sales week ever; it debuts at No. 4 on Top Album Sales) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum.
Rosalía previously charted one album on the Billboard 200, 2022’s MOTOMAMI, which debuted and peaked at No. 33.
The new album was preceded by the single “Berghain” (with Björk and Yves Tumor), which climbed 21-16 on the most recently published Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart (dated Nov. 15). LUX’s first-week sales were aided by its availability across four different CD boxed sets (each including branded clothing and a copy of the CD) and two different vinyl LPs (one signed by Rosalía), along with a standard CD and digital download album. The physical editions of the album include three additional tracks as compared to the standard digital download and streaming edition.
Olivia Dean’s The Art of Loving reaches a new peak on the Billboard 200 as it climbs 7-5 with 41,000 equivalent album units earned (up 11%).
Four former No. 1s follow Dean, as Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend is a non-mover at No. 6 (37,000 equivalent album units, down 5%), SZA’s SOS rises 8-7 (32,000, up 3%), Cardi B’s AM I THE DRAMA? ascends 10-8 (30,000, up 9%), and Wallen’s One Thing at a Time is stationary at No. 9 (nearly 30,000, up less than 1%).
TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s YEONJUN sees his debut project, NO LABELS PART 01, enter at No. 10 with 29,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales comprise 27,000 (it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 2,000 (equaling 3.24 million on-demand official streams of the set’s tracks) and TEA units comprise a negligible sum. The set’s first-week sales were assisted by its availability across multiple CD iterations, each including collectible paper ephemera (some randomized), alongside a standard digital download edition.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER has charted a dozen entries on the Billboard 200, with seven reaching the top 10 and one of those, 2023’s The Name Chapter: TEMPTATION, reaching No. 1.

Yungblud is taking a break from the road for the remainder of 2025.
On Saturday (Nov. 15), the 28-year-old British singer took to social media to announce that his doctor has ordered him to cancel all of his concerts for the rest of the year.
“This week when I got home off the road, and went to have some tests done (like I usually do) and my voice and blood tests have raised some concerns,” Yungblud wrote on his Instagram Story. “It is in my nature to run and run until I run myself into the ground without giving a f—k about anything apart from the music and you guys but this time I’ve been told I have to take it seriously and can’t f—k around.”
The canceled shows from his Idols World Tour include stops in Philadelphia (Nov. 19), Cleveland (Nov. 23), and Washington, D.C. (Nov. 25–26), as well as dates in Mexico City and other locations across Latin America.
Yungblud noted that all U.S. tickets will be refunded, and fans who provide an address will receive “a gift.”
“My heart is broken,” the Doncaster-born musician added. “I don’t want (to) do any lasting damage to myself, we are on a journey that I want to last forever. I understand that some of you will be frustrated. I just want you to know this is so hard for me to do but I promise I will make it up to you.”
The cancellations come roughly two months after Yungblud released his collaboration with Aerosmith, “My Only Angel,” which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart in September. The track will appear on a five-song collaborative EP, One More Time, set to drop on Nov. 21. The project marks Aerosmith’s first new material since their 2012 album, Music From Another Dimension!
Yungblud released his fourth studio album, Idols, in June, which topped the U.K. Albums Chart and reached No. 15 on the Billboard‘s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart.
As of press time, Yungblud was still planning to resume his Idols tour in January 2026 with an Australian leg, followed by a U.K. run in April. He will then embark on a North American amphitheater tour next summer.

Pop star Chappell Roan turned to Duolingo to surprise her fans with some Spanish during her debut in Mexico on Saturday (Nov. 15) night at the Corona Capital festival.
“¡Hola, buenas noches! Me llamo Chappell Roan,” said the singer-songwriter to the 75,000 people (according to promoter Ocesa’s figures) gathered around the main stage at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. “Are you ready to get ‘Naked in Manhattan?’” she added in English, referencing her song of the same name.
It was the prelude to a grand celebration filled with the dance and synth-pop hits that have made the young singer one of the most celebrated stars today.
Later, seated on a giant throne while holding a gremlin-shaped toy, she revealed more about her attempts to learn the language. “I’m on day 55 of my Duolingo for Spanish, and I practiced saying that sentence in Spanish, and I’m too embarrassed to try and speak it,” she said shyly before performing “Coffee.”
Hundreds of fans responded by chanting “¡Sí se puede!” (Yes, we can!) in unison to try to encourage her. “Chappell, sister, you’re already Mexican!” shouted another group of supporters to applaud her effort, also in Spanish.
On several occasions, Roan interacted with the audience that eagerly awaited her during the marathon day of the musical feast, which also marked the 2025 closing of her Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things Tour, a title that is reflected in her fairytale gothic aesthetic.
“I was really nervous to play this show because I’ve never played in Mexico before,” she confessed. “I wasn’t sure, honestly, what the turn out was gonna be, so I’m glad, thank you for showing up, and this is so awesome!”
Throughout the performance, the singer was literally the queen of a castle that filled the stage. Her often theatrical performance reached a surreal climax when the 27-year-old artist also paid homage to the famous Mexican celebration of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), which is held on Nov. 1 and 2 to honor deceased loved ones.
“I wanted to be a screaming banshee, and so I was like, Il’l be scary cause I feel like Mexico City can handle it,” the artists said. “I literally think this is the only place that can handle me looking like this,” she added about her outfit: a bridal gown with veils and lace, her mouth and teeth stained red to simulate blood. (Banshees are female spirits from Irish folklore, described as messengers of death whose wailing or screaming announces the passing of a close relative.)
An enthusiastic audience sang along to every word of her hits, from “Pink Pony Club” to “Good Luck, Babe.” Even the unreleased single “The Subway” and her cover of Heart’s “Barracuda” were a resounding success. The emotion conveyed by the 2025 Grammy winner for best new artist brought tears to the eyes of many of her fans, who expressed their gratitude for her visit. Roan is set to visit other Latin American countries in 2026 when she participates in the Lollapalooza festivals in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
The second day of activities at the Corona Capital festival also included performances by acts such as Vampire Weekend, Aurora, Marina, Mogwai, Alabama Shakes, Jehnny Beth, Haute & Freddy y Half-Alive. Italian star Damiano David canceled his participation last minute due to health reasons, according to a statement released on his social media.
The program was set to continue on Sunday with Linkin Park, the much-anticipated return of Deftones to Mexico, James, AFI, Weezer, Jerry Cantrell, TV on the Radio, and more.

Olivia Dean made her Saturday Night Live debut on Nov. 15, performing two songs from her latest album, The Art of Loving.
The 26-year-old U.K. singer-songwriter and BRIT School alum appeared alongside host Glen Powell, delivering an ebullient rendition of “Man I Need” and a mesmeric performance of “Let Alone the One You Love.”
Both tracks appear on Dean’s sophomore album, The Art of Loving, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard 200 following its September release.
Recently nominated for best new artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards, the soul-pop artist opened her set with “Man I Need,” wearing a sparkly gold dress and backed by a full band. She followed with “Let Alone the One You Love,” performing in a flowing pink gown against a matching backdrop.
Dean has built significant crossover momentum in the U.S. in recent months, currently holding four entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the top 5 hit “Man I Need.”
“I’ve never been somebody who has followed trends or made music because of what else was popular at the time,” Dean told Billboard. “I like old music, I like soul music, I like Motown. That’s what I wanted to make, and in my mind, I’m in my own lane in that way.”
She also recently announced The Art of Loving Tour, slated for next summer. The North American run kicks off in San Francisco on July 10 and includes stops in Los Angeles, New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Atlanta, Toronto, Las Vegas, Boston, and Houston before wrapping in Austin on Aug. 28.
SNL returns on Dec. 6 with actress-comedian Melissa McCarthy as host and musical guest Dijon.
