Mac DeMarco, down under for a national tour kicking off today, will be hosting a Bushfire Relief BBQ this weekend in Abbotsford.
Titled “Grill for Good”, the Canadian artist will be inviting a boatload of talented friends for an all-day, all-ages made up of an old school sausage sizzle with live music, chefs, DJs and other small businesses coming together to collect donations for the Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities and Wildlife Victoria.
Picking up the tongs alongside Mac will be a huge line-up of Australia’s most beloved artists including Alice Sky, Amyl and The Sniffers, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Laura Jean, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, and many more, as well as his tour mates Pond and CHAI (Japan). They’ll be supervised by and offered sausage-turning tips from some of Melbourne’s best chefs, including Tobie Puttock, Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters), Raph Rashid, David Moyle and more.
Blackhearts & Sparrows will be popping up their very own bar in the park, so you can pair the classic meat and vege sausages with a wide range of drinks.
Also handling the soundtrack of the day will be DJ sets from the likes of Cut Copy, Harvey Sutherland, Remi and more.
Fans can also donate for a selfie with Mac, and purchase event merch provided by Love Police with artwork by Beci Orpin, with all funds going toward bushfire relief.
