Back in the best shape: Mac DeMarco announces his return to Prague the day after a fantastic concert.
“Sometimes you don’t need any other medicine than music like this,” Paste magazine writes about this year’s album Guitar. And Mac DeMarco really does seem like an easygoing healer – at least when it comes to our spleens. The fragile, infinitely kind songs have the power to speak to each of us, even if we’re standing at the very back of the concert.
“I’m looking forward to being able to play [the songs from the album Guitar] to as many people as possible,” Mac said in the spring, and now he’s giving that opportunity to those who were touched by his performance at the sold-out Lucerna and those who couldn’t make it.
Mac DeMarco will return to Prague on June 18, 2026, when he will perform at the Karlín Forum. Tickets will be available from October 31.
“Is he the last star of indie rock?” asks The New Yorker in an August profile of the indie rock brat’s transformation into a sober man who recently bought an old farmhouse that’s only a two-hour ferry ride away. “I love you, you’re awesome,” Tyler, The Creator told DeMarco shortly after the release of his 2014 album Salad Days, and fans around the world have been expressing similar affection for him ever since. “I don’t fucking understand my fans these days,” says DeMarco, who a few years ago didn’t hesitate to share his address in a song’s lyrics and then make coffee for fans at home. And that’s okay.
DeMarco may seem like the friend we all know, but he’s also a bit of a departure, coming across as a revelation at a time when the desire for constant growth has trampled the slightest hint of rebellion into the ground. DeMarco is not afraid of imperfections ("It's okay to screw up in bed now and then."), he founded his own label in 2018, he stopped drinking five years ago and smoking three years ago, and he is gradually getting rid of other - as he himself says - curses. Although his songs are casually elegant, DeMarco himself talks about the fact that his relationship with creation is not easy. And you can damn well feel it from the tension on the otherwise sparkling album Guitar. Music that may be graceful, but certainly not harmless.
