Save the Date: Fridayz Live Is Returning for 2025, Locking in Shows in Four Australian Cities
After sitting 2024 out, this festival is heading to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in October 2025.
If you're fond of R&B, hip hop and nostalgia, you'll want to grab your diary ASAP: Fridayz Live is back for 2025. The festival last popped up in 2023, then sat out 2024. There's no lineup just yet, but the event has locked in dates and venues for its four Australian stops, with Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth on the itinerary.
This year's Fridayz Live run will kick off on Friday, October 17 at Brisbane Showgrounds, then head to Sydney's ENGIE Stadium on Saturday, October 18. The following weekend, Perth's Langley Park will welcome the fest on Friday, October 24. The final stop: Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Saturday, October 25.
The lineup isn't far away, either, with the announcement set for 6am on Thursday, May 22. Whoever is on the bill will follow in the footsteps of Jason Derulo, Boyz II Men, Kelly Rowland and Flo Rida in 2023, plus TLC, Shaggy, Ashanti, Craig David, Akon and Macklemore in 2022.
Before that, Fridayz Live previously went by RNB Fridays, but with the same focus music-wise. Kelis, En Vogue, Usher, Salt-N-Pepa, Ginuwine, Naughty by Nature and Janet Jackson have also graced past lineups.

The last time that Fridayz Live was on the concert calendar Down Under, it also went to Adelaide; however, a visit to the South Australian capital hasn't been announced for 2025.
