In 2024, Doja Cat topped the Triple J Hottest 100 of songs from 2023 and added Coachella headliner to her list of achievements. This year, she’s notching up a first touring-wise: the superstar’s debut arena gigs in Australia. Come December 2025, the ‘Say So’, ‘Kiss Me More’ and ‘Vegas’ talent will hit Melbourne, playing on Tuesday, November 25 at Rod Laver Arena.
Her Aussie (and NZ) shows are part of the rapper’s Ma Vie world tour, which also has international stints in Manila, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Bangkok and Kaohsiung locked in for December. The run of dates takes its name from Doja Cat’s upcoming fifth album Vie. Expect to hear Jack Antonoff- and Y2K-produced single ‘Jealous Type’ as part of her set, with new tune first debuted live at San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music Festival at the beginning of August.

Vie follows 2018’s Amala, 2019’s Hot Pink, Planet Her from 2021 and 2023’s Scarlet on the Grammy-winner’s discography. It’s the latter that delivered ‘Paint the Town Red’ — 2023’s Hottest 100 number one, which marked the first time that a female rapper and woman of colour topped the poll.The tune also sat at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three weeks, was the first rap song to reach those heights in 2023 and topped the Billboard Global 200 chart for four weeks in a row, too.
