Whether you've been a fan of Gracie Abrams since her debut single 'Mean It', discovered her via Taylor Swift's Eras Tour or became obsessed following the release of pop banger (and TikTok earworm) 'That's So True', there's no denying the American singer-songwriter has had one helluva rise to fame. And now, she's ready to get close to you – literally – when she brings her Secret Of Us Tour to Melbourne for three powerhouse shows.

So, slip on a lace maxi dress and pop a white bow in your hair (IYKYK), it's finally time to belt out 'I Love You, I'm Sorry' with 14,000 of your new best friends. Find out everything you need to know about Abrams' upcoming Melbourne gigs below. 

When is Gracie Abrams in Melbourne?

Abrams kicked off the Australian leg of her Secret Of Us Tour with three performances in Sydney followed by two in Brisbane. She will play three sold-out shows at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on May 9, 10 and 11. After that, she's heading to Adelaide and Perth. 

Who is Gracie Abrams’ support act in Melbourne?

California-born singer-songwriter Ashe will support Abrams across all her shows in Australia and New Zealand. She is best known for her songs 'Moral Of The Story' (which featured in the Netflix film To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You), 'Till Forever Falls Apart' and 'Angry Woman'.

How to get to the Gracie Abrams concerts in Melbourne?

Public transport is considered the quickest and easiest option. You can walk from Flinders Street Station (it's a ten-minute stroll via Birrarung Marr or the Tanderrum Bridge) or from Richmond Station or Jolimont Station. Tram 70, 48 and 75 also all have stops near Rod Laver Arena. Be sure to allow plenty of extra travel time in case of a disruption.

There is parking available at the Eastern Plaza Car Park (Entrance D, Olympic Boulevard), and it's highly recommended that you pre-book your spot. Bookings close at midnight the night before the event.

What time will Gracie Abrams come on stage in Melbourne?

Gates will open at 6.30pm, and the Rod Laver Arena website has stated Ashe will come on at 7.30pm. Abrams should start her set at around 8.45pm.

What can I bring to the Gracie Abrams shows?

There are specific rules for what you can and can’t bring to Abrams' shows in Melbourne – here are the main things to remember.

You can bring:
One bag that must be A4 size or smaller – cloaking is available via the Information Desk (Gate 4) or Show Court 3. Make sure you’ve also got your card (or digital pay on your phone) because the venue is 100 per cent cashless.

You can’t bring:
Professional cameras, audio recording devices, tripods, laser lights, illegal substances, alcohol, bicycles, scooters, skateboards, rollerblades/skates, glass, cans, metal or hard plastic containers, banners larger than 1.6 metres, musical instruments and any large item that can't be placed under the seat.
