Addison Rae’s 2025 Live Run Touches Down in Brooklyn
Look, I didn’t sign up for another influencer-turned-pop sensation, but apparently the universe disagrees—Addison Rae just announced a full-blown 2025 tour and yes, Brooklyn’s on the roster. According to a New York Post exclusive, Rae’s “Ready or Not” tour kicks off next spring, with stops in major hubs before wrapping at the Kings Theatre on June 12. I told you so when TikTok fame inevitably met Spotify streams.
If you were hoping this was a flash-in-the-pan social media stunt, newsflash: ticket pre-sales open December 5 via Ticketmaster, with the general on-sale slated for December 8. Prices reportedly start at $45 and climb to a stomach-dropping $250 for VIP experiences—live Q&A, a meet-and-greet, and an “Instagrammable” backstage tour. Fans are already grumbling about fees, but hey, “unique fan engagement” comes at a cost, right? Reuters data shows concert ticket sales have surged 30% over the past year, so Addison’s gamble probably won’t flop.
Rae’s decision to headline an arena run isn’t coming out of nowhere. Billboard reports her debut single “Obsessed” crossed the 100 million-stream mark in under two months, and Variety noted her cameo-packed music videos boast production values rivaling established pop acts. So yes, she’s serious about the music side of her brand. Sources close to the production team tell People magazine the tour will feature new songs from her forthcoming EP, choreographed dance breaks, plus a surprise celebrity cameo or two—don’t ask me who, I’m still rolling my eyes.
Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre has seen its fair share of comeback tours, from Alicia Keys to Imagine Dragons. Hosting Addison in June places her smack in the middle of a buzzing live-music district, hoping to chase summer’s fading heat with stage pyrotechnics (no, really). Critics on social media are already split: some laud Rae’s leap from Vine star to headliner, others warn her vocal chops might not survive a 90-minute set. Live Nation insiders say she’s been in rehearsals since September with a seasoned band, so at least someone’s taking this seriously.
Let’s not forget Rae’s billion-dollar makeup collab and acting cameo in Netflix’s latest teen drama—merchandise sales and cross-promo deals will flood merch tables faster than you can say “influencer empire.” Ticketmaster’s site crash during Taylor Swift’s Eras tour might foreshadow Addison’s ticket frenzy, so mark your calendars if you aim to score a spot. Did anyone expect a different outcome? No? Thought so.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things—yet here we are, refreshing our browsers for a chance to hear a TikTok queen live.
