Macklemore’s last visit to Australia was in 2022 when he headlined the fifth edition of Fridayz Live, alongside iconic artists such as Akon, TLC, and Craig David. Following his Australian stint, the artist hunkered down and poured his creative energies into producing his third solo studio album, BEN, released in 2023. The album features notable singles like CHANT with Australia’s very own Tones And I, NO BAD DAYS featuring Collett, ‘HEROES’ with DJ Premier, and MANIAC with Windser. Macklemore’s return to the music scene has been met with critical acclaim and adoration from fans.
Macklemore has been consistently touring the BEN project worldwide throughout 2023, and his return to Australia will give fans the chance to experience tracks from the album live for the very first time.
With over 13.2 billion combined streams, worldwide accolades, and critical acclaim, Macklemore stands as one of the most successful independent artists of the 21st century.
