American rapper Macklemore, famed for his popular singles from the late 2010s, is all set for his inaugural performance in Malaysia this November at the Petronas After Race Fest.

According to press statements, Macklemore will be headlining Phase 1 of the After Race Fest that is expected to be staged at the helipad of Sepang International Circuit.

He will be joined by Californian rock band Smash Mouth, whose song All Star became a chart topping hit during its debut in 1999.

The music festival will begin at 4 pm on November 3 after the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia wraps up. The Phase 1 lineup will be further supported by local acts including 6ixth Sense, Nidji, Defam and Feel Koplo.

Best remembered for his 2012 track Thrift Shop, which was recorded in collaboration with producer Ryan Lewis, for visitors hoping to catch Macklemore live in Malaysia for this year’s After Race Fest, they are first required to purchase a ticket for the Grand Prix itself. This will entitle them to an accompanying pass for the post-race festivities.
