Mac DeMarco

In August 2017, during the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Mac DeMarco was at a significant point in his career, having just released his critically acclaimed album "This Old Dog" earlier that same year. This album showcased a more mature sound, blending elements of lo-fi rock with introspective lyrics, and further solidified his unique style characterized by a relaxed, “slacker rock” aesthetic. DeMarco's performance at Sziget, known for its energetic and engaging atmosphere, featured popular tracks like "On the Level" and "Salad Days," demonstrating his ability to connect with a large audience. An interesting aspect of DeMarco's approach is his DIY ethos, which resonates with fans and informs his live performances, enhancing the communal experience of his concerts. This particular set offered a glimpse into his evolution as an artist, balancing his signature charm and musical growth from earlier works.
