Live Nation today announces New Zealand-raised singer- songwriter MACEY as the latest artist selected for Next On. This marks his first headline show in over three years alongside the release of his highly anticipated sophomore album ONCE, arriving July 3, 2026.
This will be an unforgettable evening celebrating the New Zealand/UK artist as he steps into a new chapter of his career. The show promises an intimate and exhilarating experience, offering audiences the first chance to hear new material performed live.
The night will feature the debut of tracks from ONCE, showcasing MACEY’s signature blend of indie-rock, folk and soul. Building on the momentum of recent releases including “We Still Happened”, the performance highlights the depth and evolution of his songwriting and live presence.
ONCE marks a shift toward a more expansive and reflective body of work, drawing inspiration from MACEY’s time in London and the characters and moments observed along the way.
Don’t miss your chance to witness MACEY live as he shares stories and melodies inspired by his experiences and observations from life, including the captivating narratives that fuel his latest work.
MACEY’s return to the stage forms part of Live Nation’s Next On initiative. Established in 2026, Next On showcases have been rolled out across Live Nation venues, spotlighting a new wave of talent and giving audiences the chance to discover artists at a pivotal moment in their careers. Each artist will perform on a rent-free stage, with access to production and marketing support, creating the conditions for artists to reinvest in their craft and growth, while focusing on what matters most: connecting with fans and building momentum.
MACEY’s Next On showcases follows MOHI’s inaugural Next On show at The Tuning Fork, and shows across Australia, including Peach Fuzz at the Palais Theatre (Melbourne), Robbie Mortimer at Anita’s Theatre (Illawarra), Them & I at the Outpost (Brisbane), and an upcoming showcase by Jewel Owusu at the Palais Theatre.
