Ava was in last in Australia last year for Sydney WorldPride to join the line-up of the official closing concert Rainbow Republic.

The Kings & Queens hitmaker joined several international and local artists, including Grammy award-winner Kim Petras, plus local stars like G Flip and Peach PRC.

‘It’s been three years since I’ve been able to get to Australia, so when the opportunity came to join the Rainbow Republic closing concert line-up for Sydney WorldPride I. COULD. NOT. RESIST,’ Ava said at the time.

She also said she was looking forward to performing songs from her album, Diamonds & Dancefloors, which was released in January in 2023.

‘Sydney will be the first place I get to perform a full set from Diamonds & Dancefloors, so I cannot wait to be amongst this global explosion of rainbow!’ she added.

Ava was also in Australia in 2019.

At the time she revealed that she shies away from writing songs about the party lifestyle and hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol in a year.

‘Drinking and partying never appealed to me in lyrics – they don’t have a lot of meaning behind them,’ she told Sydney Confidential.

Her chart-topping hit, Sweet but Psycho, courted controversy for its music video – which features an axe-wielding woman who is obsessed with a man she sees kissing another woman.

The UK’s Zero Suicide Alliance called the video ‘a package that helps to encourage and support stigma’ and said it underlined ‘negative perceptions of mental health’.

Sweet But Psycho has been streamed more than 1.4 billion times worldwide on Spotify and has earned Double Platinum status for its sales in Australia.
