Fred again.. Discouraged Phone Use On His USB002 Tour, Now He’s Giving Away Photos & Videos From the Run

Fred again..‘s 2025/26 USB002 tour was part of the growing trend of phone-free shows, with the producer encouraging attendees to keep their devices tucked away during the performance and just be present for the show.

Now, two months after the end of USB002, Fred and his team, in partnership with Dropbox, are sharing a motherlode of photos, videos and other working files from the tour that fans can access now, for free. This drop includes photos of Fred, photos of fans, slo-mo videos, imagery of the tour’s large-scale fabric installation by artist Boris Acket, show posters and more.

Access these files exclusively here.

A press release about the drop notes that everything being shared makes up the actual working Dropbox files that Fred’s creative team used to develop USB002, reflecting the way so many global creative teams do their collaborative work. Those who access the files are encouraged to download, edit and generally get creative with the content, with reps for the project envisioning new tours posters, videos and other ephemera.

“We’re excited to give fans a glimpse into the process and the chance to connect with the creative work around his music in a more tangible way,” the press release states.

USB002 was a dance world phenomenon during its run, with the producer announcing the location for each show a day before it happened, sending fans into hype overdrive along the run. So too did the producer release a song (or two) in conjunction with each show, with the USB002 album therefore unrolling over the 10-plus weeks of the tour. (The tour then tacked on an early 2026 run of shows in New York and then a final stretch in London.)

Each show also presented one or more special guests, with luminaries including Four Tet, Skream, Caribou, Haai, Yousuke Yukimatsu, Skin On Skin, Floating Points, Sammy Virji and more joining over the run.

The USB002 concluded with two shows at London’s Alexandra Palace in February, with the final night featuring a b2b with Fred and Daft Punk‘s Thomas Bangalter, who played a set that Fred later called “the greatest show of my life.”
