His last Sydney sideshow another last minute announce at Hordern Pavilion had a capacity of 5,500.
The three Qudos Bank Arena shows he’s done this year?
But things were different this time around.

The more people talked about it, the more people got in on it.

Big smiles at every corner.
People absolutely sprinting just to get in line.
You couldn’t not feel it.
It’s a testament to Fred’s power and harnessing his virality.
But why do his fans revere him so much?
And that’s when the crux of Fred again..’s impact really struck me.
Fred again.. doesn’t make music for escapism.

It’s music, visuals and an experience that ground you.
Again and again andagain.
