Mac DeMarco
Details
Mac DeMarco is rolling back into Austin with his laid-back charm, offbeat humor, and woozy indie rock vibes for a special night at ACL Live at The Moody Theater on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
This show is presented by ACL Live, Resound & Levitation, and it’s an all-ages event—so whether you’ve been spinning his records since “2” and “Salad Days” or you just discovered him through a friend’s playlist, you’re in for a mellow, memorable evening.
Expect jangly guitars, wobbly synths, and that uniquely Mac mix of heartfelt and hilariously un-serious. His live shows are known for turning on a dime from tender slow-burners to goofy onstage banter and occasional unexpected covers. With Tex Crick joining the bill, the night is set to be lush, melodic, and just a little bit weird in the best possible way.
Key details to know before you go:
- Date & time: Sunday, May 17, 2026, at 8:00 PM CDT
- Doors: Open at 6:30 PM, so you can grab your seat, snag some merch, and settle in early
- Ages: All ages welcome
- Ticket limit: There is a strict limit of four (4) tickets per household—orders that break this rule can be canceled without notice
- Transfer delay: Tickets can’t be transferred until 72 hours before the event, so don’t panic if you don’t see transfer options right away
Between the intimate feel of The Moody Theater and Mac DeMarco’s cult-favorite catalog—think “Chamber of Reflection,” “My Kind of Woman,” “Freaking Out the Neighborhood,” and plenty more—you’re looking at the kind of Sunday night that feels like the perfect mix of cozy and chaotic.
If you’re into dreamy guitar tones, off-kilter pop melodies, and an artist who never takes himself too seriously, this show should be on your calendar. Grab your tickets, respect the ticket limit, and get ready to float through a night of slacker-pop bliss in the heart of downtown Austin.
Venue Details
Austin City Limits Live, home to ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live, is a vibrant centerpiece of downtown Austin’s music scene, all gathered at 310 W Willie Nelson Blvd. Built on the legacy of the iconic Austin City Limits television show, the venue fuses modern production with the city’s famously laid-back, music-obsessed spirit.
- ACL Live at The Moody Theater is the larger performance hall, known for hosting a wide spectrum of artists, from global touring acts and legendary performers to special events, galas, and festival showcases.
- 3TEN ACL Live is the more intimate sibling space, a 350-person club designed for up-close performances where fans feel like part of the show rather than spectators in the back row.
- Both spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, reflecting their roots as professional broadcast and recording stages as well as live concert rooms.
- The venue regularly spotlights a mix of world-renowned artists, rising stars, and local Austin talent, making it a go-to spot for discovering new music and catching favorite bands in thoughtfully curated lineups.
- Beyond concerts, the flexible spaces often transform for private events, parties, and special performances, all while maintaining the signature Austin City Limits look and feel.
Together, ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live offer two distinct ways to experience live music under one roof: big, cinematic nights in the main theater and high-energy, club-like shows in the smaller room. Both capture the essence of Austin as the Live Music Capital of the World, blending intimate connections between artists and audiences with polished, professional production.
