2DayFM has announced the launch of 2Day Secret Set: a new live music concept delivering surprise, intimate performances from Australia’s biggest artists in unexpected locations across Sydney.
Led by 2Day’s Nath & Emma Breakfast Show, 2Day Secret Set ditches ticket drops, queues, and tour schedules, flipping the traditional gig on its head and bringing the music directly to listeners. Offering blink-and-you-miss-it moments, 2Day Secret Set will be defined by unexpected locations, surprise drops, and intimate venues.
True to the station’s commitment to play the hits before they hit and champion Australian artists, 2Day Secret Set removes the barriers between artists and fans, creating spontaneous and accessible live music moments. No stadiums, no velvet ropes, from Sydney’s north, east, west, and beyond, 2Day Secret Set delivers up-close and unexpected moments that turn everyday locations into an unforgettable live music experience.
Tomorrow, Friday 13 February, a cheeky Macca’s run is about to turn into a cheeky Macca’s rave. Kicking off the series is CYRIL, the Australian music producer who’s taken the world by storm, performing the first-ever 2Day Secret Set with a surprise Macca’s rave in the heart of the city. Taking over The Strand Arcade from 6 pm, access will be first-come, first-served.
CYRIL’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric. With multiple ARIA Nominations, topping Spotify’s Australian Music Global Impact List and performing on the biggest stages globally, CYRIL has become one of Australia’s most exciting music prospects. A genuine rags-to-riches story, he has accumulated over 3 billion streams worldwide, worked with Teddy Swims, Ed Sheeran, David Guetta & more along with boasting a social media audience of more than 1,000,000 followers.
Now, CYRIL is bringing his music directly to the people at the venue he loves most.
CYRIL said: “I’m really excited to be performing at McDonald’s for 2Day’s first Secret Set! Both 2Day and McDonald’s have played important roles in my journey. 2Day was one of the first radio stations globally to back me, and my Macca’s bucket hat holds a special place in my heart.”
Kiri Martin, Hit Network Senior Music Director / Event Partnerships & 2DayFM Assistant Content Director, said: “2Day Secret Set is all about stripping live music back to its most exciting elements – surprise, connection and incredible Australian artists. Led by Nath & Emma, this is 2DayFM doing what we do best, creating unforgettable moments and bringing the music straight to our listeners.”
David Morris, State Marketing Manager at McDonald’s Australia, said: “McDonald’s has always been about bringing people together over great moments, be it late-night feeds or live beats. Partnering with 2DayFM to turn a Macca’s restaurant into an unexpected live music experience is a fun and unique way to connect with fans, celebrate local talent like CYRIL, and create memorable moments right in the heart of the city.”
Fans at home won’t miss out, with CYRIL’s 2Day Secret Set to be heard on 104.1 2DayFM on Monday, 16 February from 12pm. More 2Day Secret Sets – including surprise artists and locations – will be revealed on air and across 2DayFM’s social channels in the coming weeks.
