Doja Cat Opening Act 2026 — Who is the Support?

How to confirm the Doja Cat opener for your date

Support acts are added to a listing when the promoter supplies them, and they can differ from city to city. A listing that shows only Doja Cat's name does not prove there is no opener — check the seller listing and the venue's announcement for your date before planning around a support set.

A ticket normally covers the whole advertised bill for that event; the listed start time is the event start, not a confirmed opener or headliner time. All Doja Cat tour dates · Doja Cat setlist

About Doja Cat

Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini was born October 21, 1995, in Tarzana, a Los Angeles neighbourhood at the western end of the San Fernando Valley, to South African Zulu actor and dancer Dumisani Dlamini (best known for the original cast of the musical Sarafina!) and Jewish-American painter Deborah Sawyer. Her parents separated when she was a baby and she was raised by her mother and grandmother, spending part of her early childhood on the Sai Anantam Ashram in the Santa Monica Mountains before the family moved back to suburban Los Angeles. She dropped out of school in her early teens to focus on dance and music, taught herself production on FL Studio across long nights in her bedroom, and began uploading tracks to SoundCloud under the Doja Cat handle — chosen partly as a nod to her affection for cats and partly as a reference to the slang for high-grade cannabis. The 2014 SoundCloud cut So High caught the attention of Kemosabe Records (Dr. Luke's RCA imprint) and RCA, who signed her to a development deal that produced the Purrr! EP in 2014 and her debut full-length Amala in 2018 — a record that landed quietly and might have ended the experiment entirely if not for what happened next. Mooo!, the cow-sample novelty record she made and shot the video for in her bedroom on a slow afternoon in August 2018, went viral on YouTube and Twitter inside a week, the broader internet treated it as a joke for about seven days before the production craftsmanship underneath the meme became impossible to ignore, and the second-life of Amala that followed reframed the entire project. Hot Pink in November 2019 produced Say So — the TikTok dance trend that propelled the song into the absolute mainstream, the Nicki Minaj remix that pushed it to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, the number-one single — and she became, almost overnight, one of the most-streamed working artists of the early-2020s pop era. Planet Her in June 2021 cemented the pivot into stadium pop and R&B: Kiss Me More with SZA, Need to Know, Woman, You Right with The Weeknd, and the Elvis-soundtrack record Vegas built into the catalogue across the next twelve months. Scarlet in September 2023 was the deliberate genre and image left turn — a darker, denser, rap-forward album with industrial and goth-coded visual direction, Paint the Town Red as the surprise number-one single (and the first true hip-hop number-one for a solo female artist in years), Agora Hills as the slow-burning fan favourite, Demons as the visual centrepiece, and a public stance that she was done making radio-friendly pop on demand. The Vie era, her announced fifth studio record, is the current pivot. She remains signed to Kemosabe and RCA, lives between Los Angeles and select international residencies, and continues to produce and co-write the majority of her own material.
