All we wanted for Christmas was Fridayz Live – and we don’t have to wait ‘til December because the beloved R‘n’B festival is making a comeback this October after a one-year hiatus in 2024. The mega Aussie music fest will be hitting up Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne with a huge line-up of R‘n'B legends and massive hip-hop stars. Think Mariah Carey, Pitbull, Wiz Khalifa and Jordin Sparks – eek! Here’s everything you need to know about getting tickets to Fridayz Live in 2025.
When is Fridayz Live 2025?
Fans right across the country will get a chance to see their favourite artists up close in four Australian cities, including:
- Brisbane Showgrounds, Brisbane – Friday, October 17
- Engie Stadium, Sydney – Saturday, October 18
- Langley Park, Perth – Friday, October 24
- Marvel Stadium, Melbourne – Saturday, October 25
What’s the Fridayz Live line-up?
Leading the charge is none other than the queen of the whistle note, five-time Grammy Award winner and certified diva, Mariah Carey. It's been 11 years since Mimi last played in Australia, and you bet we've had 'We Belong Together' on repeat since this news dropped.
Joining her is Mr Worldwide himself, Pitbull. Known for his d-floor smash-hits (including 'Hotel Room Service', 'On The Floor' and 'Give Me Everything') and epic collabs, we recommend sourcing your bald cap sooner, rather than later (IYKYK).
But wait, there's more! Also scheduled to appear are Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa (hands up if 'See You Again' still makes you shed a tear); crunk and club superstar Lil Jon; powerhouse rap icon Eve; UK pop and hip-hop artist Tinie Tempah; and former American Idol winner turned chart-topping vocalist Jordin Sparks. Phew, talk about stars in our eyes.
