The Effervescent Mac DeMarco Plays To Another Enthralled Melbourne Audience At The Festival Hall

There can’t be many more consistent performers in modern music than Mac DeMarco. His cycle of roughly an album every two years is always intertwined with worldwide gigs; in this way he’s more aligned to the behemoth pop stars of our time, rather than an independent rock musician. Last Saturday night it was Melbourne’s turn, his first time back in the city since his memorable turn during Laneway in 2018. It was vintage Mac, yet there were small hints of change noticeable throughout the set.
