The Rocks team creates an epic weekly roster of events at Freddies, with residencies from rock nights and disco, to house and heavy techno. There’s a party everyday of the week in summer, with its line-ups almost completely secret until doors open. 

, the enigma of a night at Freddies is what makes it such a special place.
