Doja Cat will play arenas in Australia and New Zealand for the first time when her Ma Vie World Tour stops by later this year.
The Grammy Award-winning singer will kick-off her jaunt Nov. 18 at Auckland’s Spark Arena, then heads west for shows at Perth’s RAC Arena (Nov. 22), Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena (Nov. 25), Brisbane Entertainment Centre (Nov. 29) and wraps up Dec. 1 at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, the biggest arena in the country.
Australian audiences should lap up Doja Cat tickets. The U.S. artist took out the No. 1 spot in triple j’s record-breaking hottest 100 countdown of 2023 with “Paint The Town Red,” which spent 10 weeks at the top of the ARIA Chart.
When her name was called out, she became the first female rapper and first woman of color to lead triple j’s poll, the 31st edition. “Paint The Town Red” also logged three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and four consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard Global 200 leaderboard.
In Australia, Doja’s last two albums, 2023’s Scarlet (No. 5) and 2021’s Planet Her (No. 2), both cracked the top 10 on the ARIA Chart.
Doja is readying the release of her fifth studio album, Vie (via Kemosabe Records/ RCA Records), due out Sept. 26.
She previously told V Magazine that her upcoming LP is a “pop-driven” project. “I do want to be self-aware enough to admit the fact that this is a pop-driven project,” she remarked. “I know that I can make pop music, and pop is just that it’s popular. It starts to become a bit of a thing that’s viewed as a sport by people who are just bystanders to it, who enjoy it, but maybe also don’t respect it or what it is, which is just music … They see it as if this is some kind of football for girls and gays.”
Doja has shared another cut from it, “Jealous Type,” produced by Jack Antonoff and Y2K, with the music video directed by Boni Mata and filmed in Los Angeles.
Live Nation is producing the Ma Vie World Tour of ANZ. The General onsale gets underway Thursday Aug. 28 at 11am AEST at dojacat.com/tour.
