Reneé Rapp's Bite Me Tour: the 2025 North American announcement

Reneé Rapp announced the Bite Me Tour in June 2025 as the live companion to her second album. Pollstar's June 23 report placed the album's release on August 1 through Interscope and listed a North American run beginning at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on September 23. The opening date set up an autumn itinerary reaching from the Chicago area to the West Coast before returning east.

The Red Rocks event page named Ravyn Lenae for the September 23 engagement. From there, the published route included Allstate Arena near Chicago, TD Garden in Boston and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, before a listed October 29 finish at Spectrum Center in Charlotte. Outdoor and indoor settings sat alongside each other: Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland and Austin's Moody Amphitheater were also part of the announced schedule.

Pollstar identified Syd and Ravyn Lenae as guests on selected dates. At Red Rocks, Lenae was the guest specifically named by the venue. The itinerary also included the inaugural All Things Go festival in Toronto on October 4, putting a festival appearance between headline engagements in Boston and Maryland. That gave the run more than one kind of audience setting, from a dedicated Rapp bill to a broader festival program.

"Leave Me Alone" was one of the songs leading into the Bite Me album cycle. Its video and blunt refrain put the desire for space and freedom at the center of the performance, with Rapp addressing expectations around her work and private life. The song gave the album campaign a clear voice before the tour began, connecting its assertive title to a direct pop statement rather than a softer introduction.

The North American route made that album campaign a large-room proposition, with Red Rocks as the opening landmark and Madison Square Garden among the major venues highlighted in the announcement. The mix of amphitheatres, arenas and a festival stop offered different settings for the same new chapter of Rapp's work.
