A earlier this month, Fred again.. launched his exciting series of 10 shows in 10 weeks across 10 cities, coinciding with the release of his USB002 project.
The English producer is unveiling one song from USB002 alongside each week’s performance, with USB002 being a continuation of USB001, which featured Fred’s hits like “Jungle,” “Baby Again” with Skrillex and Four Tet, “Lights Out” with Romy and Haai, “Rumble” with Skrillex, and “Turn On The Lights Again..” with Swedish House Mafia and Future.
USB002 is shaping up to be equally star-studded, with the first track being a collaboration with Australian rock band Amyl and the Sniffers. This song was released on Oct. 3, coinciding with the start of the 10-week series, which kicked off with a vibrant night in Glasgow, Scotland.
Fred again.. later shared on social media that the next show in the 10-week series will take place on Oct. 10 in Brussels, Belgium. Upon announcing this performance, Fred hinted at the locations of future shows, stating that this Brussels event would be “the most northern show we’re doing in *mainland* Europe… I chose my wording verrrry delicately there.”
The tour’s production features an installation by Dutch artist and composer Boris Acket, who contributed one of his unique parachute-like works to the event.
See photos from each week’s performance below; this story will be updated after every show for the next nine weeks.
