Macklemore 2023 Tour Announcement – Ben Tour Schedule
Macklemore is all set for the “Ben tour” in fall 2023, named for his all-new third album of the same name! The multiplatinum rapper will kick off on September 17th in Nashville, TN, making 20 stops before concluding on October 18th in Los Angeles, CA.
“AND WE GOT A USA TOUR TOO! I WASN’T SURE WE WERE GONNA EVER BE ABLE TO DO THIS AGAIN!” Macklemore wrote on Instagram. “I’VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS MOMENT…WHO’S COMING!?! Leave a comment with what show you want to go to.” It’s been a long few years for Macklemore, and we’re not just talking about quarantine recording sessions. Ben is quite possibly his most personal project to date, a concept album detailing his own hypothetical death due to his alcohol relapse during the pandemic.
“I think that pain is a catalyst for great art,” Macklemore, born Benjamin Haggerty, told Uproxx. “I don’t want to inflict pain on myself anymore to make art. It’s not like I need to self-sabotage in order to create, but I think that it created some darker, more honest, and vulnerable moments on the album.” He’s now been sober for three years, but Macklemore felt it was crucial to detail his relatable experiences through art. New songs like “Chant,” “Maniac,” “Heroes,” and “Faithful” are hip-hop masterpieces that hit you straight in the heart, and it’s just the beginning of the Ben era.
There’s also “No Bad Days,” with a music video directed by Macklemore’s 7-year-old daughter! This album taps into his identity as a rapper, father, and role model, showing that even a megastar like Macklemore is only taking things day by day. In addition to the new songs, you’ll also hear more classic numbers on this Macklemore tour. Remember “Can’t Hold Us,” “Good Old Days,” and “Same Love?” Ben may be his first new album in six years, but he has a full catalog of hip-hop hits to share, and you can hear them all on the Ben tour.
