‘I can’t believe I get to sing and dance for you (and with you) this Fall. Are you coming?’

The announcement sent Australian fans into a frenzy, with many issuing 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.’

They weren’t all happy campers however with a few young Addison Rae fans unhappy with the lack of under 18’s shows. 

‘Coooolllll now make Brisbane all ages pls,’ one wrote and another jumped in with: ‘WHY IS BRISBANE 18+?’

Yet another posted: ‘Please make Melbourne all ages or add an all ages show.’ 

Fans will have to get in quick, with the Frontier member presale for all shows kicking off from 10am on Thursday, June 19. 

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.

She also recently discussed dropping the second half of her name for the mononymous album Addison.

Appearing on Quen Blackwell’s YouTube series Feeding Starving Celebrities last week, she admitted that she’s ‘moved past’ the Addison Rae moniker.

Quen offered: ‘I like the fact that you are changing your stage name and taking off the Rae. Is that something you’ve talked about?’

The Louisiana-bred artist noted she hasn’t spoken at length about her name switch, adding, ‘But I said it in an interview, I was just like, “Oh, I think I’ve grown past just being called Addison Rae.” And then the album being named Addison kind of was a tie-in for that.’

She elaborated, ‘Whoever knows me as Addison Rae and knew me as Addison Rae will always know me as that anyways.’

Addison continued: ‘I just am tired of also signing Addison Rae. It’s really long.’

‘I just would rather sign Addison,’ she confessed with a laugh. ‘And then I was like, “Yeah, it just makes more sense because it’s going back to the roots, really.”‘

The songstress then pointed out, ‘But I know you’re going to put Addison Rae on the title [of the YouTube video],’ prompting Blackwell to mischievously side-eye the camera.

The star also chatted about dropping the latter half of her stage name during an interview with Zane Lowe.

‘If you got introduced to me as Addison Rae, as most people did, I think you will always know me as that.

‘But I think for me and what making music is doing, for just my own soul and heart, is bringing me back to the core of everything.

‘Addison Rae, yes, is a part of me and that will always be a part of who I am. There are element of me that are obviously Addison Rae and encapsulate what people have created as who Addison Rae is,’ the blonde beauty stated.

She reiterated, ‘But I think for me it was all about coming back to the center of it all, which is just Addison.’
