Fred again.. caused quite a stir in Sydney yesterday with an unexpected live show at the iconic Sydney Opera House.
The English producer’s show sold out in a flash due to overwhelming demand, with over 120,000 people vying for tickets, causing the Sydney Opera House website to crash temporarily.
Those fortunate enough to snag a rare ticket were in for a treat: a two-hour set, a stripped-down version of his usual extravaganza. Fred hinted, “no lights, one small screen, me, Tony, and maybe the most beautiful venue in the world.”
@djzayden This song is an absolute vibe omg #fredagain #fred #soh #fredsydney
TikTok is buzzing with clips of the show, with fans ecstatically learning and chanting the lyrics to his brand new songs. And of course, he’s got the crowd belting out classics like “Delilah (pull me out of this)” too.
