The Fray will bring their sold-out ‘How to Save a Life’ 20th anniversary tour to Eatons Hill Hotel on Friday, 5 December 2025, performing in the standing-only Grand Ballroom.
The Fray’s Return to Eatons Hill
American pop rock band The Fray will visit Eatons Hill Hotel on 5 December as part of their 20th anniversary tour celebrating the release of “How to Save a Life”. The Eatons Hill event has sold out, with no further allocations available to the public.
‘How to Save a Life’ and Global Success
Formed in Denver, Colorado in 2002, The Fray rose to international fame with the 2005 release of “How to Save a Life”. The album, which achieved quadruple Platinum certification in the United States and Platinum status in Australia, featured hit singles such as “Over My Head (Cable Car)” and the title track “How to Save a Life”. The album’s success propelled the band to global recognition, including four Grammy nominations and multiple Billboard Music Awards.
Eatons Hill Show Details
Presented by TEG MJR, The Fray’s Eatons Hill Hotel performance will be a standing-only, 18+ event held in the Grand Ballroom. Fans attending can expect a setlist featuring major tracks from “How to Save a Life”, alongside fan favourites such as “You Found Me”, “Never Say Never”, and a cover of The Cranberries’ “Dreams”. The concert may close with the signature song “How to Save a Life”.
Due to strong pre-sale demand, the general public ticket allocation for Eatons Hill has been exhausted, with resale options available through the Ticketek Marketplace.
Expansion of Australian Tour
Following overwhelming ticket demand, The Fray added additional shows in Melbourne and Sydney to the Australian leg of the anniversary tour. Originally scheduled for Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, the updated schedule now includes two performances each in Sydney and Melbourne. The Eatons Hill Hotel show remains the sole Queensland stop.
Community Interest in Eatons Hill
Interest in the Eatons Hill event reflects the band’s enduring fanbase in Brisbane’s northern suburbs, including Albany Creek and surrounding areas. With general allocation exhausted, local excitement has increased around the upcoming performance.
Future Prospects
The Fray’s 2025 Australian tour forms part of their broader international return following the release of their 2024 EP, The Fray Is Back. With Joe King now leading vocals, the band continues to tour and perform new material alongside career-defining hits.
