Macklemore arrived in Australia for his tour Down Under just days ago and he’s already taken the country by storm.
The American rapper put on a rousing performance at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Friday night as he kicked off the first concert of his tour.
The 40-year-old donned his iconic Thrift Shop era faux fur coat as he rocked out to the massive hit song.
He then changed into a blue satin jacket worn along with a tight white shirt and black trousers.
Macklemore looked in great spirits as he joined his crew of dancers to bop to his biggest hits for the salivating crowds.

Macklemore kicked off his Aussie tour in Sydney on May 12 before he heads off to dates in Melbourne, Queensland and Western Australia.
It comes as the rapper has gone viral after releasing a pro-Palestine song in which he slams US president Joe Biden for his role in the bloody conflict in Gaza.
‘Hind’s Hall’, referencing the Columbia University building renamed by pro-Palestine protestors in honour of a six-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed by an Israeli airstrike two months ago in Gaza as she waited for aid while trapped in a car and surrounded by her relatives’ dead bodies, was released on social media on Monday.

The song, which has been seen by 24million people on Twitter alone, takes aim at Joe Biden, who until last night had consistently provided military support for Israel.
He said in his song: ‘The blood is on your hands Biden, we can see it all. And f*** no, I’m not voting for you in the fall.’
The rapper, best known for his pro-LGBTQ+ rights song Same Love, also called out the music industry for being ‘complicit in their platform of silence.’
The video accompanying the song intersperses his lyrics with clips of protests across American colleges, which have seen a surge of clashed between protestors and campus police.
Streaming proceeds from the song, which has not yet been released on streaming platforms, will be donated to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, which had much of its funding cut this year following allegations its workers were involved with October 7 attack.
Macklemore has long been a supporter of Palestinian people.
In November, Macklemore gave an impromptu speech at a pro-Palestine rally in Washington DC, in which he told the crowd: ‘ ‘I don’t know enough, but I know enough that this is a genocide.’
His speech was preceded by a statement on October 19 in which he condemned Hamas’ bloody incursion against Israel, and Israel’s brutal response against the Gaza Strip, calling the latter ‘an unfolding genocide’ and a ‘US backed catastrophe.’
