Fridayz Live 2025 has wrapped up its seventh year with sold-out shows across the nation, high energy … and a sea of bald caps.

Headlining this year’s lineup across Brisbane, Sydney, Perth and Melbourne was was global superstar Mariah Carey, who made her long-awaited return to Australian stages for the first time in over a decade.

She was joined by Mr World Wide, Pitbull, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Jon, Eve, Tinie Tempah and Jordin Sparks.

Carey brought along some early Christmas cheer, closing her Sydney set with All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Guy Sebastian joined Jordin Sparks for a surprise duet of Art Of Love – a special moment orchestrated by 2DayFM’S Jimmy & Nath Show with Emma during a radio interview with Jordin Sparks back in May.

Other highlights included Pitbull wearing a Bunnings hat and Mariah Carey eating Vegemite live on stage

Head of Hit Metro Content Amanda Lee said “Every year we say it can’t get any bigger – and then it does! From Mariah’s return, to record-breaking crowds, and the dedication to Pitbull costumes, Fridayz Live 2025 was a powerful reminder of how good it feels to come together and celebrate live music.”

“With its powerhouse lineup and signature party energy, it’s firmly cemented as Australia’s must-see summer tour, and this year proved that all over again. We look forward to partnering with Mushroom again in the future to deliver another huge event on the Hit Network.”
