A talented producer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and DJ, Fred again.. first began releasing music with his 'Actual Life' series. An exercise in unique sampling using YouTube rips, Facetime calls and voicenotes from friends, the concept of 'Actual Life' took on new meaning over the next two years as Fred built a global community of fans, emboldened by Fred's willingness to seek both joy and inspiration in every day interactions. Three 'Actual Life' albums were released between 2021 and 2022, with 'Actual Life 3' landing Fred his first ever UK Top 5 album and a Mercury Prize nomination.
2023 saw Fred start the year by joining forces with Skrillex & grime MC, Flowdan, on Skrillex single 'Rumble' in January - which was first teased during his Boiler Room debut in the summer of 2022. After playing a series of pop-up shows in London alongside Skrillex and Four Tet later that month, the trio then went onto sell-out the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York in February - over 19,000 tickets were sold in less than 10 minutes - and later headline the final night of Coachella, playing to over 125,000 people and an additional 3+ million who have since re-watched their set on YouTube.
Elsewhere in 2023, Fred also recorded a special Tiny Desk Concert for NPR in April, which saw him relearn the marimba, play a vibraphone, sit at a piano and loop beats on his laptop simultaneously, while in May, he joined forces with Brian Eno on 'Secret Life' - a surprise-drop 13 track ambient album released on Four Tet's Text Records imprint.
In June 2023, Fred made his Glastonbury debut which pulled in one of the largest crowds in the Other Stage's history, before going on to sell-out a total of 5x shows at London's Alexandra Palace in just one week back in early September. Punctuated by statement releases - UK #4 single 'adore u' alongside Obongjayar & 'ten' ft. Jozzy - Fred closed out 2023 with a sold-out EU tour run, 3x sold-out shows at NY's Forest Hills Stadium and a further 9x sold-out shows at LA's Shrine Expo Hall, as well as recent single 'leavemealone' ft. Baby Keem, released in December.
The start of 2024 saw Fred breaking records on a historic tour of Australia, selling out a run of arenas announced within a week of the tour starting. Landing in Australia in secret and announcing a Sydney Opera House show the day he arrived, the tour culminated in Fred's biggest headline show to date, a 35,000 capacity party in Perth announced just three days before.
Fred's 'infinite' album 'USB' had it's first volume released on vinyl this April, a record that Fred plans to add to continuously over time. Fred started making records to include on his own USB for DJ shows, this album documents the records he made for that purpose including collabs with Skrillex, Four Tet, Swedish House Mafia, Romy and Lil Yachty.
Fred's highly anticipated next album 'ten days' will arrive on September 6th 2024, including recent single "places to be" featuring Anderson .Paak & CHIKA. ten days chronicles ten days in the last year of Fred's life, with contributions on the record from Sampha, The Japanese House, SOAK and more.
Best show! Fred again absolutely killed it and had the best vibes
Genuinely an amazing show, he’s so talented live and we had a really good time. However I wish the speaker set up was better since it wasn’t that clear if you we’re further away from the main stage
The sound and bass volume was unreal! Fred again is a musical genius. It was an overall epic experience that gave me goosebumps the entire night. Can't wait to see him again!
Literally blown away by the insane talent, incredible vibe and one of the most amazing shows and experiences I’ve had. Had goosebumps and tears in my eyes for most of the concert ! So moving and sooo much fun ! Those piano solos and Fred pouring his heart & soul out to the audience was so inspiring. A true artist with endless talent and creativity ! ?????? you Fred Thank you ?? and see you next time ! Xx
Fred Again is crazy underrated the greatest DJ, mixer, performer with an energy no one can match. And to make it even more awesome there is Tony! Floor tickets are beyond and will result in a memory of a lifetime.
Pretty disappointed in the length of time Fred was on for. It was maybe an hour and 20 minutes. Fred was great for the time he was on but it was probably the shortest set I’ve been to. For the cost of the tickets it was a let down. Plus we drove 6 hours to see him.
Everything about this experience was amazing. I wish there was more floor room for people
My parents grew up going to see shows like DMB, Grateful Dead, and so many more camping out at Alpine. This was my first time going, I’m 27 now, and wow it was such an incredible experience. From the sunset falling on the trees, to the shockingly intimate feeling you get in that 30k+ person venue. It truly blew me away, and far surpassed the high expectations I had set. The staff was great, the production was phenomenal. 10/10 experience, and would see any of my favorite artists there in the future. While yes, you need to be prepared going out there with driving, or sleeping arrangements, but I honestly thought there would be a lot more challenges with the location than we faced. Seamless weekend, for a perfect fred show (x2). Thank you LN and Alpine!!! And FREDDDDDDD (and ofc fred’s unbelievable team)
Protect Fred Again at all costs. That is all. He put on an unbelievable show and I will continue to see him for the rest of my entirety.
We made a trip from Indianapolis for this amazing show and met some amazing people attending as well as working. The VIP area had an awesome stage and lights for the outstanding DJ that was playing before the show and great food. Scott Seibert made our concert experience one of the best we’ve ever had. The bartender I believe named Xavier was very helpful and was a pleasure to have serving us. The restroom attendants were amazing as well with plenty of goodies like glow sticks, glitter, candy and other goodies that helped elevate of night. Anytime we come back for a show at this venue we will definitely be in the VIP area again!
