Fred again.. is playing in Melbourne on Monday-Wednesday March 4-6. The rumours were true: all three shows are taking place at Rod Laver Arena. Old mate Fred is also playing shows on the Gold Coast and in Sydney.
How can I get tickets to the Melbourne Fred Again.. shows and how much do they cost?
Tickets to Fred again..'s Melbourne shows will go on sale at 9am tomorrow (February 29) via Ticketek, with a limit of four tickets per person. Here's that all important link. As for how much they cost, these bad boys ain't cheap. Tickets come in at $180.
What will the Fred again.. Melbourne shows be like?
Details are thin on the ground so far, but we do know that the shows are being billed to start at 7.30pm. If they're anything like his previous shows, you can expect a high-energy affair. Speculation about supporting acts is rife and so far our money is on Joy (Anonymous).
From earlier:
If you’re any kind of electronic music lover, you likely know the story of Fred again..’s first-ever tour to Melbourne. The wildly famous English producer toured Australia as part of Laneway Festival in February 2023, quickly decided his sideshows weren’t enough, and wreaked havoc by announcing a last-minute secret show.
A year later, rumours are rife that the producer, known for his hit dance tracks including ‘Jungle’ and ‘Marea (we’ve lost dancing)’, is on his way Down Under for a series of as-yet unannounced shows. Personally, we’re locating our earplugs and laying out our comfiest dancing shoes just in case, because if the theories swirling around the internet are to be believed, Fred again.. could be playing in Melbourne as soon as this week.
To be clear, nothing official has come to light just yet, but Fred has definitely been hinting at something over on his Instagram. First, he posted a story holding a tub of Vegemite, then a Lord of the Rings reference (an NZ stop, perhaps?).
He’s also shared this hint on his stories: “We’re getting on a flight right now and when we land we’re gonna play some shows”. If only we knew when or where? Rod Laver Arena has been floating around Reddit as a potential venue, after a photo recently posted to his Instagram story included what looked like backstage equipment marked with red tape that read: 'Fred Again. Rod Laver'. But Fred is notorious for keeping his fans guessing, so honestly, we’ll just have to wait and see.
That’s all we know for now folks… So let's all keep a very close eye on Instagram and cross our fingers.
