For those of us who live for pop culture moments, Renée Rapp is serving us two days' worth in celebration of her sophomore album, BITE ME.
Hard to believe, but it was only six years ago that Rapp hit the Broadway stage as a replacement Regina George in the Mean Girls musical, a role she went on to repeat for the movie adaptation. Now, Rapp has become a massive deal on her own, with her hugely successful pop career and previous album, 2023's Snow Angel.
Curated by Complex, the two‑day BITE ME pop‑up is unmissable for Rapp fans. With the album out August 1, celebrate new music from the Sex Lives of College Girls star with fellow fans at 620 Broadway from 11am to 7pm, July 31 and August 1.
Think: exclusive collabs, album-specific merch, a special-edition color vinyl and collector GAS Trading Cards—all only available for 48 hours. The merch drop includes graphic‑heavy tees and cozy hoodies with Rapp's signature pop‑punk flair. And as if a 48-hour window wasn't exclusive enough, a free RSVP doesn't guarantee entry.
Hardcore fans can roll right from the pop-up on August 1 to Rapp's album release concert at Warsaw at 7pm, her last performance in New York City until she heads to Madison Square Garden on September 29 and Barclays Center on October 1 on her BITE ME tour. That tour—with special guests Syd and Ravyn Lenae—officially launches in Morrison, Colorado, on September 23.
Just over a month and 17 stops later, the tour concludes in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 29.
Until the tour officially kicks off, however, you can stream BITE ME's lead single, "Leave Me Alone," to your heart's content. It's not much longer until we'll have a full album of Rapp tracks to spend the rest of the summer with. Or, as she wrote on Instagram, "the soundtrack to the last two years of my life."
