Fred Again.. has announced 10 new shows in London and New York, taking place in the new year.
The new residency shows come as an extension of his ‘USB002 Tour’, which has seen him play 10 shows in 10 cities around the world, and release 10 new songs along the way.
Shows earlier this year as part of the trek included stops in Glasgow, Brussels, Madrid, Lyon, Dublin, Toronto, Chicago, and San Francisco, and closed out last week with a closing night in Mexico City.
Now, he will be playing six residency shows at the East End Studios in New York in January, before following that up with four gigs at the historic Alexandra Palace the following month.
New York dates commence on January 16 and 17, before continuing on January 23, 24, 30 and 31. London shows run between February 12 and February 27.

As for the 10 new songs that the producer has dropped over the tour, songs have included ‘solo’ with Blanco, and ‘ICEY..’ and ‘..FEISTY’ with BIA.
Others are ‘Winny’ with Sammy Virji & Winny, as well as the ‘Beto’s Horns’ remixes with CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso and Ezra Collective. Sammy Virji returned alongside Reggie for ‘Talk of the Town’, and more new songs included ‘HARDSTYLE 2’ with KETTAMA and Shady Nasty, ‘Facilita’ with Caribou and MC Teteu, ‘Ambery’ with Floating Points, ‘OK OK’ with Danny Brown, and ‘you’re a star’ with Amyl and the Sniffers.
The final song released was ‘I Luv U’ with Wallfacer, which was released just before the Mexico City show, which marks the final live date Fred has lined-up in 2025. That gig saw him joined by Latin Mafia, Loris and Ezya.
A vinyl compilation of the songs released over the past 10 weeks is out now and available for purchase here.
Fred Again..’s USB album first began in 2022, and featured songs like featuring tracks like ‘Baby Again’, ‘Rumble’ with Skrillex & Flowdan, ‘Jungle’, ‘leavemealone’ with Baby Keem, and ‘stayinit’ with Lil Yachty. It then came with remixes from Nia Archives, HAAi and Rico Nasty, before the first collection was released on vinyl as ‘USB001’ in 2024.
News of the new residency shows in 2026 come just days after the London DJ and producer opened up about his approach to songwriting and criticism in a rare interview.
Sitting alongside Ezra Collective’s Femi Koleoso, Fred said he is gradually becoming more accepting of his music and pushing himself to release more, rather than quickly dismissing it in the early stages.
“For me, I’m trying to just protect my mental [health] so that I can feel good to make music every day, so everything just kind of feeds into that,” he said, looking back at some of the biggest moments of his career.
“[I have] a WhatsApp group with four of us and I’ll send everything to that group,” he continued. “All of them aren’t musicians, and that’s almost why I value their thoughts… You can take the feedback that resonates. That’s the most important thing. Don’t listen to any criticism, listen to the criticism that resonates.”
Fred Again..’s song with Skepta and Plaqueboymax, ‘Victory Lap’, was recently listed on NME’s list of the Best Songs Of 2025. In a description, Kyann-Sian Williams described the collab as a “true grand slam”.
