Fred Again.. Announces Ten New ‘USB002’ Live Shows for 2026
Electronic music star Fred Again.. is already mapping out his next big chapter. Fresh off his final performance of the year in Mexico City on December 12, the producer has officially announced ten additional ‘USB002’ shows, live dates for 2026, and has extended the momentum of one of his most club-focused eras yet.
According to a press release, the newly announced dates include six shows at East End Studios in New York in January 2026 and four shows at London’s Alexandra Palace in February 2026. While exact dates have not yet been announced, ticket sales are scheduled to begin on December 18, making these among the most anticipated electronic shows of the coming year.
New York and London Take Center Stage
The expanded run reflects Fred Again..’s growing dominance on both sides of the Atlantic. East End Studios, known for its immersive, warehouse-style setting, aligns perfectly with the high-energy, club-driven sound of USB002. Meanwhile, London’s Alexandra Palace offers a massive homecoming moment for the UK artist, who continues to command huge demand in his hometown.
On Instagram, Fred teased fans with characteristic spontaneity, writing that a sign-up link for tickets was coming soon and hinting at more music: “and two more songs maybe more idk usb is infinite!” The message reinforced the open-ended, fast-moving creative approach that has defined his recent output.
‘USB002’: A Club-First Era
Released as the follow-up to his first USB project, USB002 marks a noticeable shift in tone. Critics have noted its emphasis on UK garage, four-on-the-floor beats, and punchy club rhythms, moving away from the softer pop and deep house elements of earlier Fred Again.. hits like “adore u.”
The project also stands out for its stacked guest list, featuring artists such as JPEGMAFIA, Skrillex, Romy, BIA, Lil Yachty, Overmono, Caribou, and Sammy Virji. While some critics argue that the collaborations lean more functional than transformative, the album’s precision production and relentless energy have cemented its place as a DJ-ready favorite.

Apple Music DJ Set Streaming Soon
Adding to the excitement, Fred Again.. recently confirmed that his Dublin DJ set was filmed for Apple Music and will begin streaming on December 31. The release gives fans worldwide a chance to experience his live USB002 energy just as the year turns—and before tickets for the 2026 shows go on sale.
Reflecting on the tour, Fred wrote, “These shows have been an honour to share with you all.” He’s also been unapologetic about his rapid release pace, emphasizing that the music feels “alive” and creatively natural.
With new shows, new music teases, and streaming performances lined up, Fred Again.. is showing no signs of slowing down. As the ‘USB002’ era stretches into 2026, one thing feels certain: for Fred, the USB really is infinite.
