Fans furious over detail in Addison Rae's Aussie tour
Addison Rae fans have been left in outrage after the US pop star's tour was announced Down Under this week.
Sixty thousand wannabe concertgoers have scrambled to get tickets to her shows, but have faced long wait times for the limited numbers of gigs which are being held in small venues.
Instead of booking large arenas, Rae will be performing in venues like the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, which has a capacity of 1600.
In Melbourne, the 24-year-old Diet Pepi hitmaker is set to play at the Forum, which is limited to 2000.
''60k+ in the queue for a 2k-capacity venue is EVIL,' posted one fan on the Frontier Touring Instagram on Thursday, after the promoter announced they were adding more shows to Rae's schedule to meet the demand.

'I'm not sure what genius decided The Forum was the best venue,' commented another fan on the thread, adding, 'Probably could fill Rod Laver Arena more than once. Easy.'
'I'm begging you [the promoter] to upgrade [the] Sydney [show] to the Hordern,' complained another, referring to the Hordern Pavilion which can hold 5,500 fans.
Meanwhile, Rae's fans wondered why the performer was playing at 18+ venues such as the Forum and Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall, which holds 3,300 people.
'Melbourne all ages come on,' moaned one, while another added, 'Please no 18+ [shows].'
Rae was originally scheduled to play a mere three gigs in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney.
The Aussie tour promoter has now added an extra gig in each city.
The TikTok star-turned-tunesmith will now do six Australian shows - Melbourne's The Forum on November 11 and 12, the Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane on November 14 and 15 and Sydney's Enmore Theatre on November 17 and 18.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Rae shared a string of dates that will see her kick off the tour in Dublin before heading across Europe and the US.

'The Addison tour is really real,' she excitedly captioned the announcement.
'I can't believe I get to sing and dance for you (and with you) this autumn. Are you coming?'
The announcement sent Australian fans into a frenzy, with many expressing their excitement over on promoter Frontier Touring's Instagram.
'A good way to start the day isn't it?' one quipped, while another offered a similar: 'Best news.'
General on sale begins at 10am on Friday, June 20.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Addison's self-titled debut album, which dropped earlier this month.
Thanks to such viral hits as Diet Pepsi, Aquamarine, and Headphones On, the album has nabbed a number four slot on the Billboard 200, and a number two spot on the Australian ARIA charts.

Baby joy! Home and Away star Luke Jacobz expecting second child with wife Raychel after fertility struggles
Luke Jacobz has revealed he and wife Raychel are expecting their second child – a baby boy – following years of fertility struggles and heartache. The former Home and Away heartthrob, 44, best known for playing Angelo Rosetta, said the couple were left stunned to discover they had conceived naturally, after initially turning to IVF to fall pregnant with their first daughter, Maisie. 'We're having a boy! We are just over the moon,' Luke told Woman's Day this week. 'That we were actually able to fall naturally with number two – I jumped up and down and lost my mind.' Luke and Raychel, who met in 2017, began trying for a baby the following year but soon found themselves on an emotional rollercoaster. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Despite being given the all-clear medically, they struggled to conceive and eventually turned to IVF via Adora Fertility. Their journey was anything but smooth – involving multiple rounds of egg retrievals, repeated embryo transfers, and three devastating early miscarriages. With just one embryo left, the couple made the difficult decision to undergo one final transfer before their wedding, which had been delayed twice due to COVID. Incredibly, the transfer worked, and Raychel walked down the aisle four months pregnant. 'We weren't expecting that, so we just lost our minds,' Luke said. 'We were so close to not trying anymore because it was just so hard.' But after a harrowing pregnancy and a traumatic birth, the couple believed their family was complete. That is, until their daughter Maisie turned one, and they began to feel a growing desire to give her a sibling. 'We felt selfish not trying again,' Luke admitted. 'But we never imagined it would happen without help.' The couple welcomed their first child, Maisie, back in November 2023. In a sweet Instagram post, the television presenter was thrilled as he shared the good news with his 104,000 followers alongside several snaps of the newborn. 'Words cannot describe how happy we are to bring our bundle of joy into the world,' he captioned his post. 'Maisie - you are so loved and we could not ask for anything more perfect than you.' Luke added that his wife, now a new mum, was 'doing so well' and admitted the birth process was hectic. 'We had a very 'eventful' delivery day but it was all worth it,' he continued.

Gold Logie nominees vow dramatic protest if Hamish Blake wins TV's top honour: 'Stand up and walk out!'
It's shaping up to be the most talked-about Logies in years. And now, a group of this year's leading Gold Logie contenders have threatened to stage a dramatic walkout if one thing happens: Hamish Blake wins. Appearing together on Stellar's Something To Talk About podcast, nominees Sonia Kruger, Lynne McGranger and Ally Langdon threw their support behind their fellow female contenders. The trio are up for Gold alongside Julia Morris, Lisa Millar and Poh Ling Yeow – but didn't hold back when it came to the prospect of the LEGO Masters host walking away with the top gong. 'Stand up and walk out. We should make a pact,' Home and Away icon McGranger declared, sparking laughter from her fellow nominees. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, And if Blake, who won the Gold Logie in 2022 and 2023, attempts to soften the blow by inviting the women onstage during an acceptance speech? 'We just turn around and go, 'Sorry. You're on your own, buddy. Bye,' McGranger added. This year marks a historic moment for the Gold Logie, with six out of the seven nominees being women – a rarity in the awards' decades-long history. The Gold category became gender-neutral in 1978, and since then, only ten different women have ever taken it home. TV presenter and The Voice host Sonia Kruger said the female-dominated field was more than just symbolic – it sends a powerful message to the next generation. '[The three of us] have daughters. And one of the best parts was knowing that all those little girls out there who might be watching TV or looking for a career as an actor, a journalist, a presenter could then aspire a little bit more,' she explained. She continued: 'They see women who are doing that and being recognised for that.' Langdon, now fronting A Current Affair, reflected on the camaraderie among this year's nominees – and revealed that even Blake himself was jokingly campaigning against himself. 'The morning we had the [nominations] breakfast, Hamish was hilarious,' she said. 'He was genuinely saying, 'Don't vote for me. It would be the worst thing in the world if the one guy was the person to win it.' But also, look at the different pathways each of us took to reach this point.' Despite the jokes, the mood among the women is one of mutual admiration and unity. 'This particular group just highlights the fact that some amazing women work in this business,' Kruger added. The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards nominees were announced earlier this month at the Sydney Opera House, highlighting the very best of TV talent in Australia. Voting is now open until 7pm on Friday August 1. The ceremony will be available to watch on Seven and stream on 7Plus. 65th TV WEEK LOGIE AWARDS NOMINATIONS TV WEEK GOLD LOGIE – Most Popular Personality on Australian Television Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, 9Network Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Lisa Millar - Back Roads, ABC News Breakfast, Muster Dogs: Where Are They Now, Muster Dogs: Collies & Kelpies, ABC Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network Poh Ling Yeow - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter Hamish Blake - LEGO Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris - I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, Network 10 Ricki-Lee - Australian Idol, Seven Network Sonia Kruger - The Voice, Dancing With The Stars, Logies Red Carpet Show, Seven Network Todd Woodbridge - Tipping Point Australia, Australian Open, The Olympic Games Paris 2024, Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, 9Network Zan Rowe - Take 5 With Zan Rowe, ABC New Year's Eve, ABC Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent Guy Montgomery - Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee, ABC Hailey Pinto - Home and Away, Seven Network Jenny Tian - Taskmaster Australia, Network 10 Kate Miller-Heidke - The Voice, Seven Network Kylah Day - Territory, Netflix Sofia Levin - MasterChef Australia, Network 10 Ally Langdon - A Current Affair, 9Network David Speers - Insiders, ABC Michael Usher - 7NEWS, 7NEWS Spotlight, Seven Network Peter Overton - 9News, 9Network Sarah Ferguson - 7.30, ABC Tara Brown - 60 Minutes, Dangerous Lies: Unmasking Belle Gibson, 9Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Drama Lloyd Griffith - Return To Paradise, ABC Michael Dorman - Territory, Netflix Robert Taylor - Territory, Netflix Sam Corlett - Territory, Netflix Sam Neill - The Twelve, BINGE / FOXTEL Tai Hara - Return To Paradise, ABC TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Drama Alycia Debnam-Carey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Anna Samson - Return To Paradise, ABC Anna Torv - Territory, Netflix Ayesha Madon - Heartbreak High, Netflix Kaitlyn Dever - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Lynne McGranger - Home and Away, Seven Network TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Aaron Chen - Fisk, ABC Ben Miller - Austin, ABC Clancy Brown - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Luke Cook - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Michael Theo - Austin, ABC Patrick Brammall - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Harriet Dyer - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Jenna Owen - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan Kitty Flanagan - Fisk, ABC Leighton Meester - Good Cop/Bad Cop, Stan Sally Phillips, Austin - ABC Vic Zerbst - Nugget is Dead: A Christmas Story, Stan TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actor Ashley Zukerman - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Darren Gilshenan - Colin From Accounts, BINGE / FOXTEL Glenn Butcher - Fisk, ABC Mark Coles Smith - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Matt Nable - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Sam Delich - Territory, Netflix TV WEEK SILVER LOGIE – Best Supporting Actress Aisha Dee - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Chloé Hayden - Heartbreak High, Netflix Julia Zemiro - Fisk, ABC Marg Downey - The Newsreader, ABC Michelle Lim Davidson - The Newsreader, ABC Tilda Cobham-Hervey - Apple Cider Vinegar, Netflix Best Drama Program Bump - Stan Heartbreak High - Netflix Return To Paradise - ABC Territory - Netflix The Newsreader - ABC The Twelve - BINGE / FOXTEL Best Miniseries or Telemovie Apple Cider Vinegar - Netflix Critical Incident - Stan Fake - Paramount+ How To Make Gravy - BINGE / FOXTEL Human Error - 9Network Plum - ABC Best Entertainment Program ABC New Year's Eve - ABC Australian Idol - Seven Network Countdown 50 Years On - ABC Dancing With The Stars - Seven Network The Voice - Seven Network Vision Australia's Carols by Candlelight - 9Network Best Current Affairs Program 60 Minutes - 9Network 7.30 - ABC 7NEWS Spotlight - Seven Network A Current Affair - 9Network Australian Story - ABC Four Corners - ABC Best Scripted Comedy Program Austin - ABC Colin From Accounts - BINGE / FOXTEL Fisk - ABC Good Cop/Bad Cop - Stan Melbourne International Comedy Festival - ABC Optics - ABC Best Comedy Entertainment Program Gruen - ABC Hard Quiz - ABC Have You Been Paying Attention?

Inside Seven's secret plan to sack most of its best-paid stars earning more than $300,000 a year
Seven News bosses were secretly planning to sack some of their most popular and best-paid stars, a new report has claimed. Former top news boss Anthony De Ceglie had a plan to axe every Seven personality on more than $300,000 a year in favour of upcoming TV stars, according to The Australian. Spotlight chief correspondent Liam Bartlett, Seven News chief reporter Chris Reason and Seven News Sydney anchor Michael Usher were going to be quietly dismissed as part of a 'drastic cost-cutting operation'. Sunrise and Morning show presenters, Natalie Barr, Matt Shirvington, Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur were the only stars not at risk of losing their jobs. However, De Ceglie's proposal was met with 'immediate resistance from Seven's more seasoned executives'. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Veteran Channel Seven presenter Sharyn Ghidella was axed from the network in July last year, after almost four decades working in the news industry. Ghidella, 58, the face of Seven News in Queensland since 2007, confirmed the news in a fiery Facebook post at the time. She said her 'tap on the shoulder' finally came while she was at the salon, admitting it was a 'relief' of sorts after several anxious weeks of media job cuts. But she was determined not to go quietly as she took aim at the failing network for prioritising gimmicks like astrology readings over keeping veteran talent. 'When you work in TV for as long as I have, not a day goes by when you aren't expecting the proverbial tap on the shoulder... After 38 years, my shoulder tap has finally come,' Ghidella began. 'It wasn't quite how I expected it to end at Channel Seven. 'I was actually sitting at the hairdressers for work, when I got the call informing me, that after 17 years with the network, my time was up.' Ghidella then said her recent time at the network had been 'miserable' and she was glad to be heading out the door. Queensland cloud watcher Paul Burt and Melbourne crime reporter Cameron Baud were also axed from the network. Burt has lashed out at Channel Seven in an awkward final on-air segment after he was axed by the network in July last year. He presented his final weather segment and took aim at the network during his sign off. 'If I'd had the opportunity I wouldn't have wanted to go this way. It's what happens when you get sacked,' he said at the end of the 6pm news.
