Fridayz Live is one of Australia’s leading touring music festival events, specialising in large-scale R&B, hip-hop, and pop concerts featuring internationally recognised artists. Originally launched in 2016 as RNB Fridays Live, the festival quickly became known for its nostalgic line-ups celebrating popular music from the 1990s, 2000s, and early 2010s. The event tours major Australian cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, regularly attracting large crowds and high-profile performers such as Mariah Carey, Usher, Pitbull, Janet Jackson, and the Black Eyed Peas.

Following a highly successful 2025 return, organisers confirmed the festival is expected to continue in 2026, with further announcements anticipated regarding future line-ups and tour dates.
