Reneé Rapp brings ‘Bite Me Tour’ to San Diego fresh off ‘Jennifer Hudson Show’ buzz

Reneé Rapp is keeping her momentum alive as she announces a San Diego stop on her Bite Me Tour, coming just weeks after a viral appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show. The pop star, known for her role as Regina George in both the Broadway production and the 2024 film adaptation of Mean Girls, turned heads when she strutted through the talk show’s spirit tunnel like a queen, a moment that lit up social media and cemented her rising status as a pop culture fixture.

Rapp, whose second album Bite Me dropped on August 1, is taking her new music across North America with a 17-city tour. The San Diego show is set for Saturday, October 18 at the Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre. Pre-sale tickets open September 16, with general ticket sales starting September 19 on her official website. Special guests Ravyn Lenae and Syd are also slated to join her on select dates, adding even more firepower to the highly anticipated run.

The singer’s latest project builds on the success of her 2023 debut Snow Angel, but Bite Me pushes her artistry into bolder territory. Rapp has described the record as a celebration of chaos and confidence, encouraging fans to embrace every side of themselves. That message has already resonated with her loyal fanbase, who helped propel the album to major streaming numbers in its first weeks.

Over the past year, Rapp has performed on some of music’s biggest stages, including Coachella and Lollapalooza, while also gaining recognition for her acting career. Now, her live shows are being hailed as essential events, blending powerhouse vocals, sharp stage presence and an unfiltered connection with audiences.

With her San Diego stop announced, the buzz around Rapp shows no sign of slowing down. Whether it’s commanding a viral TV moment or owning a festival stage, Rapp continues to prove that she is not just one to watch, but one to experience live.
