Gig Preview : Mac DeMarco , End of the Road festival
Having previously performed at the festival back in 2015 , and as part of his tour for new record This Old Dog , Mac DeMarco is set to return to Dorset ’ s End of the Road festival later this Summer . Headlining alongside folk-indie musician Father John Misty , and playing amongst acts such as Slowdive , The Jesus & Mary Chain and Parquet Courts , the singer has expressed his admiration for the festival and it ’ s founder , Simon Taffe , in numerous interviews .
If his 2015 performance is anything to go by , fans should expect a sense of utter madness , hilarious onstage banter and lots of crowd surfing . With an album that ’ s much more matured and personal in it ’ s content than any of the singer ’ s previous work , Mac DeMarco is sure to captivate his crowd - enhancing the intimate , relaxed vibe that is part of what makes End of the Road festival so special .
End of the Road festival runs from 31st August-3rd September 2017 , located in
Dorset ’ s Larmer Tree Gardens - tickets are available from the festival ’ s website
