Mac Demarco Concert Schedule and Tour
From the lo-fi haze of his early recordings to the languid shimmer of his newer work, Mac Demarco has firmly established himself as slacker rock's modern posterboy. Cigarette perilously dangling from his lips, Demarco cuts an insouciant figure on stage, treating fans at his live shows to his signature drawl and vintage guitar tones. Whether he's apologizing to his mom for "Freaking Out The Neighborhood" or advising listeners to "Go Easy," Demarco is sure to captivate with his seedy charm and world-weary wit on his upcoming concert tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in British Columbia in 1990, Mac Demarco began playing music at age 14, involving himself in various bands while attending high school. In 2009 he began releasing music as Makeout Videotape, performing in concert venues around Vancouver and building a small but loyal following with his lewd sense of humor and off-color live shows. In 2011 he moved to Montreal to begin working on what would ultimately become his debut release as Mac Demarco, 2012's Rock and Roll Night Club. The self-produced album, recorded at home on a four-track tape recorder, was a hit with fans and critics alike, attracting the attention of Brooklyn-based independent label Captured Tracks. His sophomore album, 2, was released on the label in 2012, landing on numerous year-end lists and further contributing to his growing cult fame. In 2014, he released his third album Salad Days to universal acclaim, kicking off a 36-date world tour that will treat fans in North America, South America, and Europe to his already-legendary live show events.
This was my favorite show in a while - cool variations to studio songs, covers, can't miss!
Mac DeMarco was amazing! He put on a great show! He was very entertaining and funny, sang wonderfully and genuinely enjoyed performing for a sold out audience at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston! We would definitely see him again when he returns to Boston đ
While the show itself was great, and Mac didnât fail to deliver, the venue itself was terrible. It was rundown and the show was in a parking lot. And right after the show, what I believe was the venue manager, closed down the inside part so nobody could go inside to buy merchandise.
He gave an amazing performance and the vibes were amazing. You couldnât help but jam out. Amazing job!
Iâll admit that I arrived a bit late to the concert. The Anthem was gorgeous and well staffed. I quickly got a drink at the bar. Mac was playing one of his hits and the band sounded good. Then everything went WAAY downhill. Mac and the band were obviously impaired on drugs, alcohol, both(?). They played terrible renditions of cover songs by Oasis, Nirvana, and then Metallica. The drummer attempted to sing and was terribly off key, Mac didnât know the words to the Nirvana song and basically faked it. I could have saved $40 and went to see a high school garage band. Actually, I would have enjoyed that more anyway. I loved Mac Demarcoâs new album and his voice is beautiful, so sad I didnât get to see that talent and instead got to see a 10 min guitar solo by the blitzed guitarist. Shame on the band, I will NEVER see them again and they have lost a fan.
Mac is a great entertainer and gifted artist - it all comes together live! The Anthem is THE best venue - but don't tell anyone because I want to keep getting tickets easily for shows! All together a great night - and really cool first "real" (non Disney-ish) concert for my son - a new Mac fan who renewed my love for the OG!
two years ago I saw Mac and the garden at the Greek theater at Berkeley and I sat on one of the sides. This concert I was about 10 feet from the stage and Mac was great this time just like the last. however I legit almost had a panic attack when the garden came out. The crowd got really crazy and I was being crushed and i have breathing problems and I needed my inhaler so I was scared. Also Wyatt jumped into the crowd and was on top of me. Lol... and my friend almost fainted. Sounds kinda funny now, but at the time it was scary because I was separated from my friends and the crowd was pushing. Aside from that, before I went into the venue, half of my friend group and I got out of the line and went to the bathroom a couple blocks away. When we returned the security would not let us in and one of our friends in the line had another persons ticket who had went to the bathroom so we were scared she wouldnât be able to be let in. But the screenshot worked fine from ticketmaster so it all worked out.
A bigger stage to see the artist better would improve the show alot
I love this man so much and his band is always so entertaining but I don't think they should play venues any bigger than a 3,000 person max... his band is much better in a smaller, more intimate crowd. But I had fun regardless even if I couldn't really see who was on the stage lol
He was so comedic and his angelic singing made me very happy. He interacted with the fans and even spoke so kindly. Would very much love to see him again
I did not enjoy seeing Mac Demarco in the arena-style setting. The setting was distracting, loud and full of flashlights. I loathed the 2 opening bands and was shocked that they were the openers. I thought Mac and band were fantastic. I thought the entourage on stage (the VIP ticket holders, I think) was obnoxious and distracting as well. I walked away feeling disappointed overall.
First time seeing Mac and it was a phenomenal show. Second time at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, itâs a nice open venue.
The show started out chill and than the Garden started playing and the floor changed into a huge moshpit, it was dope. Than they left and Mac and his crew started playing and it called down until he played a classic and turned the floor into a wave like moshpit. Macâs a great showman and his crew are funny enjoyable people. 10/10 I canât wait until youâre in the bay again Mac âĽď¸
The openers were not very good, especially the second band the Garden. The cigarette smoke was unbearable until Mac came on. Heâs an incredible showman and is so talented. I was so excited to see him for the 2nd time and it was all worth it once he did. I would see Mac a million more times if I could!

The garden was awesome and Mac demarco was awesome
Honestly, this was my 3rd and FAVORITE time seeing Mac DeMarco. I was with the love of my life, in an AMAZING venue with awesome people around us! He never fails to impress, and this experience was definitely no different! Thank you to the Bill Graham Auditorium for hosting such a rad show!
I knew that parking was going to be hectic but I wasnât aware just how awful it was. Took us about 40 minutes to find parking. Please suggest 24hr parking lots near the venue next time. Also, the seat situation was confusing. I wasnât sure if there was assigned seating or not because the website said general admission but my ticket had a row number on it. Otherwise fine concert. Security was nice. Great venue.
Show was awesome, artist great, venue adorable, staff especially john was fantastic !
I love this man & the venue was awesome & he was good & his band & the lights & the volume & sound control. PROPER
