Fred again announces 6-night NYC residency at East End Studios starting January 16, and the intimate venue lockdown just changed everything

Fred again just announced his most intimate New York residency to date. The superstar London producer is bringing 6 consecutive nights to East End Studios in Woodside, Queens starting January 16, 2026. Tickets go on sale today, and fans are already scrambling for this exclusive run.

A Victory Lap Unlike Any Other

This residency marks an extension of Fred again’s historic USB002 tour, which featured 10 shows across 10 different cities during 10 weeks with 10 brand-new tracks dropping throughout. The tour kicked off in October 2025 with stops in Glasgow, Brussels, Madrid, Lyon, Dublin, Toronto, Chicago, and San Francisco before closing in Mexico City on December 12.

Now the London producer is doubling down with this concentrated NYC experience. East End Studios transforms into his personal playground with the continuation of his revolutionary immersive installation. No stadium fatigue here—just pure, focused musical intensity in an intimate venue setting.

Dates and How to Grab Your Spot

Early access required presale signup, which closed on December 15. The general public sale launches today on SeatGeek for US tickets. Cash App cardholders get a special bonus—Fred announced that Cash App will return 20% on all tickets and merchandise purchases using their Cash App Visa cards exclusively for these NYC shows.

Who Is Fred again? The Genius Behind Electronic Innovation

Frederick John Philip Gibson, known professionally as Fred again (stylized as Fred again..), is an English record producer, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Balham, South London. His journey began as a background producer for major artists like Ed Sheeran and Stormzy, contributing to Grammy-winning albums before launching his own groundbreaking solo career.

His signature sound blends electronic dance music with deeply human moments. Rather than sterile production, his work captures raw samples of everyday life—phone conversations, street sounds, brief interactions—woven into immersive electronic landscapes. This storytelling approach through sound earned him Awards for Best Producer nominations and recognition as one of the most influential producers in modern electronic music. His collaboration with Skepta on “Victory Lap” was named one of NME’s Best Songs of 2025.

What Makes The USB002 Project Revolutionary

The USB series represents Fred’s most experimental work. Unlike traditional album cycles with months of build-up, USB002 drops new songs weekly across a 10-week global tour—then a vinyl compilation is released. 10 tracks released, 10 cities visited, 10 consecutive weeks of touring. The project includes collaborations with Floating Points, Danny Brown, BIA, Sammy Virji, Caribou, and Ezra Collective.

Each show includes a Boris Acket installation—an immersive audio-visual experience that transforms the venue. Fred describes USB as “infinite” since the concept can continue indefinitely. The vinyl compilation of all 10 USB002 tracks dropped December 12 and is available on his official store for £45.

Why This NYC Residency Matters for Fans

This isn’t a scattered tour hitting five venues across New York—it’s a concentrated residency that gives fans rare access to the producer in his element. The intimate venue setting at East End Studios (a former movie studio) creates an entirely different energy from festival appearances or larger concert halls. Expect fully transformed live sets tailored specifically to each night, with his characteristic approach to emotion, connection, and electronic innovation.
