The hip hop self-starters Macklemore & Ryan have gone far in a short time: they brought thrift stores to the masses with breakout No. 1 single “Thrift Shop,” released their debut album Heist to a No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200, and came out in support of same-sex marriage with gay rights anthem “Same Love.” Combining Macklemore’s thoughtful, funny verses and Lewis’ expertly crafted productions, their unique take on hip hop has struck a major chord with audiences, but what ultimately makes the duo a success has been their ability to write some of the year’s catchiest hooks. As a performer, Macklemore radiates positive energy and delivers his rapid-fire lyrics with crystal clear precision – Lewis takes a supporting role, cueing the beats, hyping the crowd, and engaging in the occasional crowd surf. The pair are on tour in 2013 in support of their debut album, and tickets are in high demand thanks to their reputation for dynamic, must-see live shows.
The Seattle-based duo first joined forces in 2006 when Lewis became Macklemore’s promo photographer, but the focus quickly shifted to music with the release of The VS. series, which included The VS. EP in 2009 and The VS. Redux in 2010. Their 2013 debut The Heist took three years to write and record, and it shows – from the extensive list of collaborators to the appearance of the Seattle Rock Orchestra, the record oozes originality and craftsmanship. In addition to producing, recording, and mixing all of their recordings, Lewis also directs their music videos, including the video for No. 1 single “Can’t Hold Us,” an epic seven-minute-long mini-film that earned them an MTV Video Music Award for Best Hip-Hop Video. As for the music’s point of view, Macklemore isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo of his chosen genre – from questioning the materialism of hip hop culture in “Thrift Shop” to lamenting homophobia among rappers in “Same Love,” these are songs that embrace diversity and endorse keeping an open mind.
Very fun show. The opening acts were forgettable, but Macklemore energized the crowd and made for a fun and exciting and engaging concert experience.
Macklemore was awesome! Wish he would have played longer and played some of his recovery songs also but it was awesome the performance he did. Would for sure go see him again. Didn't really care for OT Genises or Busta Rhyme. Thought they played to long and took away from Macklemore.
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis put on one hell of a show! We love their music. Not only are his lyrics catchy, but so are all the instruments that he utilizes in his music. I would definitely recommend anyone to come see their show.
He put on a really great show. for me little sister first show ever after her birthday she really enjoyed her self
By far one of the most fun and entertaining shows I have ever been to. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are definitely a must see if you love their music. I would 100% go again and get better seats if I get the chance.
Awesome! No other word can describe it. From the beggining until the end, every moment was worth it.

The concert was amazing, I did not want it to end. It was entertaining from the beginning to end. Loved it!!!!!!!!!!
Loved that his songs are a great mix of funny, urban and powerful. Love that the message is about mindfulness in our very selfish society. Love that the beats make you dance and also question what sounds those are! Love this duo! Thank you for such a great night!
