Australian music icon Chet Faker is set to light up live stages this December with two highly anticipated performances: an exclusive one-night-only concert at the Sydney Opera House and a return to the Meredith Music Festival.
Sydney Opera House, Tuesday 2 December 2025
Chet Faker will celebrate the 10th anniversary of his debut album, Built On Glass, performing the record in full alongside new music from his forthcoming album, A Love For Strangers. The performance marks an encore to his highly praised Melbourne anniversary show from last year. Mallrat joins as special guest, promising a night of both nostalgia and fresh sounds.
Since his viral rise in 2011, Chet Faker has built a remarkable career, with ARIA-winning hits including “Gold” and “Talk Is Cheap,” acclaimed albums such as Hotel Surrender (2021), and collaborations with artists like Flume and Marcus Marr. His first new single since 2023, “Far Side of the Moon,” signals a continued evolution in his sound.
