Ava came in last place in Australia for Sydney WorldPride last year to join the line-up of the official Rainbow Republic final concert.
The Kings & Queens hitmaker joined several international and local artists, including Grammy winner Kim Petras, plus local stars like G Flip and Peach PRC.
‘It’s been three years since I’ve been to Australia, so when the opportunity arose to be part of the line-up for the Rainbow Republic final concert for Sydney WorldPride, I was in. NOT. RESISTANCE,” 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 2023.
“Sydney will be the first place I get to perform a full set from Diamonds & Dancefloors, so I can’t wait to be part of this global rainbow explosion!” she added.

Ava was also in Australia in 2019.
She revealed at the time that she shuns writing songs about the party lifestyle and hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol in a year.
“Drinking and partying have never appealed to me in the lyrics – there’s not much meaning behind it,” she told Sydney Confidential.
Her hit song Sweet but Psycho sparked controversy for its music video, which features an axe-wielding woman obsessed with a man she sees kissing another woman.
The UK’s Zero Suicide Alliance called the video “a package that helps encourage and support stigma” and said it highlighted “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.
