Fred Again plays Bangkok's UOB LIVE in July
If you've not been keeping up, Fred again – born Fred Gibson – is one of those names that's quietly everywhere. Maybe you've heard his voice layered into a track without knowing it. Maybe you've danced to one of his edits at 3am and only clocked it days later. He's a producer, vocalist, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist – a modern-day polymath with a sampler and a keen ear for emotion. Now, following the announcement of his solo Asia tour, he's set to bring that instinct centre stage. Stops include South Korea, Singapore and, yes, Bangkok. At the core of his work is a kind of sonic diarising: voice notes from friends, fleeting conversations, fragments of lived experience turned into dancefloor elegies. His tracks – leave me alone, Turn On The Lights again.., Rumble – feel as much like personal memos as they do chart staples. This is a man who once won two Grammys for Actual Life 3 and still manages to make music that sounds like it was recorded in the Notes app at 2am. And then there are the collaborators. The list reads like a who's who of genre-defying innovators: Skrillex, Baby Keem, Skepta, Future, Anderson .Paak, Four Tet. He moves between worlds – rap, house, garage, glitch – with the kind of fluidity that doesn't beg attention but earns it. He's not selling nostalgia, nor spectacle. What he offers is something quieter but stickier: intimacy in high definition, connection disguised as club music.

Brit Awards 2025 winners list: live updates
With five nominations under her belt, the 2025 Brit Awards is shaping up to be a memorable year for home-grown pop star Charli XCX. Her sixth album, Brat, became as famous for its bright green cover as its songs when it was released to widespread acclaim last year. She is up for the top prize in the Artist of the Year, Mastercard Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Dance Act and Pop Act categories, but faces tough competition from the likes of Sam Fender, The Last Dinner Party, Fred again... and The Cure. For the beloved goth rockers, this year's trio of nominations for their comeback album Songs of a Lost World marks their first slate in over 30 years. The only major award announced in advance is that for the Brits Rising Star; Myles Smith is this year's winner, and will perform at the event. Viewers can watch along with the ceremony live at home on ITV1 from 8.15pm, or stream it on ITVX. Here are the full list of winners (in bold as they are announced).
