Heroes don\u2019t wear capes. But they do sometimes wield a microphone and twiddle knobs on vintage hardware.<\/p>\n
Before a packed house at The Forge in Sheffield, England on the weekend, Fred Again<\/a> and Amy Taylor, singer with Amyl And The Sniffers<\/a>, gave us the Anglo-Australian collaboration that we absolutely need, but didn\u2019t realize was possible.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Fred Again welcomed Taylor on stage during his set late Saturday, maybe early Sunday, where they debuted a full remix of the Australian punk rock outfit\u2019s \u201cBig Dreams\u201d, from their third and latest studio album\u00a0Cartoon Darkness<\/em>.<\/p>\n The reimagined cut is part of Fred Again\u2019s ongoing\u00a0USB<\/em>\u00a0project, and was performed to a sweaty, heaving crowd on the eve of the Aussie act\u2019s typically incendiary spot at Leeds Festival.<\/p>\n Fred Again shared the moment on his social media accounts<\/a>. In the footage, Fred first, then Amy, step onto the mixing desk and hype the crowd with air-punches. \u201cThis is footage of me witnessing the degree of icon that amyl is,\u201d he writes, \u201cshe\u2019s playing Leeds today so joined us in Sheffield last night. yesterday was the first time we got to meet and then we play this out for the first time. cannot waitttt to get to play it live with the full band and everything.\u201d<\/p>\n Amyl And The Sniffers have been making friends everywhere in recent years, and collected awards left and right. Among the most glittering of honors, the 2025 APRA Award for song of the year (\u201cU Should Not Be Doing That\u201d), a hattrick of AIR Awards, and a brace at the 2025 Rolling Stone Australia Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although they were pipped to the post in the international category at the 2025 Brit Awards, winners D.C. Fontaines gave the Aussies a special shout out.<\/p>\n \u201cAmyl and the Sniffers,\u201d frontman Grian Chatten said during his acceptance speech<\/a>, \u201cif you\u2019re there, we\u2019re sorry we\u2019re not having a drink with you. You\u2019re one of the most inspiring bands in the world at the moment. This is for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n Released last October, Cartoon Darkness<\/em> hit the top 10 in the UK (No. 9) and Australia (No. 2), and impacted the Billboard 200 (No. 196).<\/p>\n Fred Again, one of the world\u2019s most in-demand electronic music producers and DJs, cracked the top 40 on the Billboard 200 with his last full-length album,\u00a0Actual Life 3<\/em>, a recording that peaked at No. 27 in 2022.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
