The rap-pop artist Macklemore stares directly at the camera in a close up of his face.

The multi-platinum and Grammy-award-winning artist returns to New Zealand in May 2024.

Following a successful North America run in 2023, Macklemore will begin his 2024 tour of Australia and New Zealand at Wellington’s TSB Arena in May.

The American singer-songwriter will be touring his third solo studio album, ‘Ben’. Released in 2023, it includes chart-topping singles ‘Chant’, ‘No Bad Days’, ‘Heroes’, and ‘Maniac’. Alongside his back catalogue of crowd favourites and unforgettable live presence, this is a show you won’t want to miss.

With a total of 13.2 billion streams across a 20+ year career, Macklemore is a household name with extensive critical acclaim. ‘Ben’ is the artist’s third solo project, following the release of ‘Gemini’ in 2017. Previously, Macklemore released two albums with producer Ryan Lewis. With hits like ‘Thrift Shop’, ‘Can’t Hold Us’, and ‘Downtown’, the duo earned multiple Grammy’s and platinum-certifications.
