Mac Demarco announces three night residency at London's Hackney Empire

"Should be nice, should be different, hopefully, it will be special..."

Mac Demarco announces a new series of concerts in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and London in support of his recent album 'Five Easy Hotdogs'.

Marking his first live shows since summer 2022, the tour includes a three night residency at Hackney Empire in London on July 30, July 31 and August 1 2023. Accompanied by a full band, he’ll play a more intimate set of 'Five Easy Hot Dogs' in its entirety and songs from his catalogue with new arrangements.

Speaking about the forthcoming tour, Mac says: "In July we are bringing Five Easy Hot Dogs to the stage. Should be nice, should be different, hopefully, it will be special. Hope to see you there.”

All of the songs on 'Five Easy Hot Dogs' were recorded and mixed in the corresponding city from each song title, and the track listing reflects the chronological order in which the songs were produced. It marks Demarco's first project since 2020's 'Other Here Comes The Cowboy Demos'.

“I didn’t ever have a sound in mind, or a theme or anything, I would just start recording," Mac explains about the album. "Luckily the collection of recordings from this period all shake hands, they have a present musical identity as a whole. I was in it while I was in it, and this is what came out of it, just the way it was.”

Tickets for the tour go on sale 10am BST April 21. You can purchase them HERE.
