Location For FISHER & Chris Lake's Pop-Up Sydney Show Revealed

Earlier this week, FISHER and Chris Lake announced they’d put on a one-off show at a secret Sydney venue today.

They offered fans the date and confirmed that they’d perform back-to-back—B2B in EDM circles—but didn’t share the location until yesterday.

Fans who registered for tickets to today’s event could access tickets yesterday. Lake posted that people who registered would have the location for the show texted to them ahead of the ticket sale beginning at 12:30 pm AEST yesterday. Tickets are sold out, but fans can sign up for the waitlist here.

The show will take place at the Charles Moses Stadium, part of the Sydney Olympic Stadium. It’s set to be a four-hour event that will start at 1 pm. Chris Lake is also performing at the Hordern Pavilion tonight, so this afternoon’s show will end well before his set starts.

Charles Moses Stadium has a capacity of 3,000 and features a video screen, PA system, and corporate boxes. The venue is home to the Royal Easter Show’s wood-chopping events.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone Australia, Chris Lake revealed that he and FISHER came up with the idea for today’s event at the second edition of FISHER’s Out 2 Lunch festival, which took place on the Gold Coast this month and injected $54 million into the Gold Coast economy.

“We’re going to do a long set; I think we’re doing four hours,” Lake told Rolling Stone Australia/New Zealand this week. “We love playing together. We wanted to do something that we could announce [at the] last minute and give something more than anyone expected.”

Lake added that securing the venue and setting up today’s show was “an absolute nightmare”, but the pair are thrilled with what they’ve organised with such a short turnaround.

“We like doing things outside, and that comes with a lot of problems, obviously, with noise complaints and everything,” Lake said. “It’s difficult to get things over the line without pissing people off.”

In addition to performing at the Out 2 Lunch festival, Chris Lake has locked in sideshows in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney.

The sold-out festival created 1500 jobs, engaged over 200 local businesses, and raised $30,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation from tickets. Accommodation was also sold out throughout the region.
