If you’ve ever wished your group chat could come to life – with all the chaos, shade, and unforgettable one-liners – Hayu is about to make that happen.
For the first time ever in Australia, Hayu FanFest is landing in Sydney on Saturday, 15th August 2026, transforming The Hordern Pavilion into a full-blown reality TV playground. And this isn’t just a casual meet-and-greet – it’s a rare, all-in gathering of some of the most iconic personalities across the Hayu universe.
Leading the charge are fan-favourite Housewives from across the globe: Cynthia Bailey (The Real Housewives of Atlanta), Meredith Marks (The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City), Juliet Mayhew (The Real Housewives of London), Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York City), and Alexia Nepola (The Real Housewives of Miami). They’ll be joined by Below Deck Down Under‘s Jason Chambers, plus Southern Charm standouts Craig Conover and Shep Rose – a lineup that feels almost too chaotic (in the best way) to be real.
And because this is the Housewives world we’re talking about, it doesn’t stop at panels. Dorinda and Meredith are stepping behind the decks for live DJ sets – because of course they are.
Across the day, fans can expect a mix of live interviews, on-stage panels, meet-and-greets, and photo ops, alongside immersive activations and exclusive merch drops. It’s essentially a greatest-hits celebration of the moments, memes, and personalities that have turned Hayu into a guilty pleasure (or not-so-guilty, depending on who you ask).
Set inside The Hordern Pavilion – one of Sydney’s most iconic live venues – the event marks a one-off chance to see this particular mix of reality royalty together in Australia.
If you’re keen to secure a spot, Hayu subscribers who’ve opted into marketing get first access via a pre-sale kicking off at 12pm AEST on 12th May 2026. General tickets go live through Ticketek at 12pm AEST on 14th May 2026. Head to hayu.fanfest.com for more information.
More details – including the full schedule – are still to come, but if this lineup is anything to go by, it’s shaping up to be less of an event and more of a full-scale reality TV spectacle.
