Fred again.. Is Bringing His Live Show to India, and Monkey Shoulder Is Coming With Him

Fred again.. has built a distinct place in electronic music with a sound shaped by real-life moments. From his Actual Life series to the ongoing USB project, his music has continued to evolve alongside a live show that has become a defining part of his artistry. A Grammy winner and 2026 BRITs Dance Act winner, Fred will make his India debut this December.

The three-date tour also marks the beginning of Fred’s three-year global creative partnership with Monkey Shoulder, which has named him its first-ever Creative Partner. Rather than introducing a new product or limited-edition release, the collaboration begins with live music, putting the focus on creating accessible experiences for audiences.

Fred again.. Is Finally Bringing His Live Show to India

Fred again.. will perform three headline shows across India this December, marking his first live performances since his shows in Italy in September 2025 and his only live tour dates of 2026.

The tour will begin at Leisure Valley Ground in Delhi NCR on December 5, followed by a performance at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Race Course on December 9. The final show will take place at NICE Grounds in Bengaluru on December 13.

Across the three dates, Fred will perform music spanning his catalog from the earliest Actual Life releases through his more recent USB material. For fans who have followed the evolution of his music over the years, the shows offer a chance to experience the different chapters of his work within one live set.

The India dates were also preceded by a series of cryptic teasers, with front-page newspaper advertisements featuring the word “again” in regional languages hinting at the announcement before the tour was officially revealed.

A Creative Partnership Built Around Music

The India tour is also the first major expression of Fred again.. and Monkey Shoulder’s new three-year partnership.

Monkey Shoulder, the Speyside blended malt from William Grant & Sons, has positioned Fred as its first-ever Creative Partner. The collaboration is built around a shared belief that great drinks, great music, and great people should be accessible to everyone, with the India tour putting that idea into practice through live music.

The partnership is notable for what it does not introduce. There is currently no Monkey Shoulder x Fred again.. bottle, limited edition, or special whisky release tied to the collaboration. Instead, the first project is centered on the experience of seeing Fred perform live.

That approach places the partnership closer to an ongoing creative collaboration than a traditional one-off sponsorship. While further projects are expected over the three-year agreement, details beyond the India tour have yet to be announced.

What’s Next for Fred again.. and Monkey Shoulder?

The India tour may be the first chapter, but it is not intended to be the last. With three years ahead of them, Fred again.. and Monkey Shoulder have positioned the partnership as a broader creative collaboration, leaving room for further projects that have yet to be revealed.

For now, the partnership begins where Fred again.. has built much of his connection with audiences: live. And in December, that connection will reach India for the first time.
