Spotify Wrapped Has Dropped And Sydney & Melbourne Are Celebrating Big
From celebrity stunts to personalised merch, Spotify is bringing Wrapped to life with pop-ups across both cities this week.

If dissecting your Wrapped hasn’t quite scratched the itch, Spotify is taking things offline with a series of fun pop-ups and activations across Sydney and Melbourne.

5 Seconds of Summer fans, this one’s for you. For one day only, World Square is hosting a full 5SOS Walk of Fame complete with the band’s real handprints—and a chance for fans to create their own star on the strip.
