Fred again.. delivers surprise ambient set at Glastonbury Festival: Watch

Fred again.. surprised fans with a 30-minute ambient set on the Strummerville stage at Glastonbury Festival. Notably, the set, performed on a sunny Friday afternoon, featured largely unreleased music alongside tracks from his album ‘Secret Life’ with Brian Eno, released on Four Tet’s Text Records in May 2023. Consequently, the unannounced performance created a reflective and intimate atmosphere, contrasting sharply with the festival’s usual energy.

This unexpected set marked a stark departure from Fred’s recent high-profile show at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Just two weeks prior, he played to a sold-out crowd of 70,000 people who had bought tickets only a week in advance. The day before that colossal performance, Fred hosted an intimate listening party titled ‘Secret Life at the Coliseum,’ mirroring the introspective vibe of his surprise Glastonbury set.

Fred’s ability to captivate both massive stadiums and intimate festival stages highlights his versatility and unique musical journey. His dynamic year continues to showcase his talent for creating deeply emotional and reflective music experiences, thus solidifying his position as a trailblazer in the industry. Consequently, fans eagerly anticipate what Fred will bring next, as he continues to chart his own path in the music world.
