Last week Fred Again.. announced his “USB002” project, featuring ten songs to be released over ten weeks. To celebrate this, he will also DJ in 10 cities across the project’s release, with each location revealed the weekend before.
On his Instagram Fred described it as: “10 of my dream raves.”
“The reason why I'm only doing just the one show every week is because I’ve learnt I reallllyyyy love the shows where I feel like I’m in the EXACT same energy as you guys.”
He shared with fans how he loves the energy in the lead up to a gig, and wanted to enjoy that across the ten weeks.“I was like, I’d love to just do a whole tour where I can be in that feeling with everyone EVERY time!”
The first show is booked for Glasgow on October 3, and while it’s the only UK city he’s looking to play, he has told fans they will understand why when they see the show.
The rumour mill is now swirling with a leaked list of tour dates posted to Reddit.
The supposed cities include Sydney and Auckland, both of which Fred played back in March 2024.
If the suggested dates are correct, this would see the Sydney show take place at the end of October and the Auckland show at the start of November.
Fred fans have noted that if true, it would be interesting for Fred to choose Sydney over Melbourne and Auckland over Wellington.
The Reddit poster claims the dates were sent by “Fred’s show runners,” but they have not been officially confirmed by Fred Again or his team.
A comment on the Reddit post says, “source, trust me bro. (f**k I hope this is legit).”
Although, it's worth pointing out that on Fred's secret Instagram account, he is teasing the locations. In a recent post, it looks like the second location starts with a B, which wouldn't align with the Reddit post.
From surprise pop-ups to sold-out arena shows, both New Zealand and Australia caught a serious case of Fred fever when he touched down last March. The energy was seriously unmatched.
This was also the tour where he took our very own kiwi producer/DJ, Messie, under his wing - a career-defining moment for one of Aotearoa’s rising stars.
At this stage, this is purely a rumour and has not been confirmed by Fred or his team, but we know Fred is the king of surprises.
Our advice: be prepared and get your emergency rave funds ready!
The previous Fred Again.. USB album originally began in 2022 and featured some of Fred’s biggest tracks such as “Baby Again”, “Rumble”, “Jungle”, and “leavemealone.”
USB002 is expected to be released on December 12.
