Outdoor event in Dublin features a comeback performance by Macklemore.
Macklemore's Banging Dublin Show
Last night, Macklemore bought his electrifying performance to the streets of Dublin with his unique blend of hip-hop grooves and catchy sing-alongs at St. Anne's Park. The lively crowd eagerly welcomed the Grammy-winning rapper, with special guest Rudimental warming up the audience before the main event.
Fortunately, the rain held off for the most part at this outdoor venue, allowing fans to attend undeterred. The crowd sang along with gusto to timeless tunes such as Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us.
During the show, Macklemore showcased his signature style of turning the spotlight on fans, inviting two audience members (birthday girl Samantha and Ben) onto the stage for an unforgettable dance-off.
While the precise setlist for the Dublin concert on June 4, 2025, isn’t extensively disclosed, the show featured a setlist of high-energy hits and sing-along anthems[1][3]. Macklemore typically includes powerhouse songs like "Thrift Shop," "Can't Hold Us," and "Glorious" in his performances[3].
From the concert reviews and social media coverage, Macklemore's interaction with the audience was undeniably engaging, combining entertainment with meaningful commentary on current issues, particularly addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza[5]. Rudimental performed prior to or alongside Macklemore, providing a boost to the crowd's energy[3][4].
