Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are finally working on a follow-up to 2012’s The Heist, and the megastar duo delivered a small taste of what’s to come during their headlining performance at Outside Lands on Saturday. Knowing they had to bring out the big guns to stand any chance against opposing headliner Tom Petty across the park, Mack & Co. brought out the big guns, including a cameo by Chris Mansfield aka Fences for a second-time-ever live run through their new collaborative single “Arrows”.
An onstage marriage proposal took place shortly thereafter, with Macklemore praising the Bay Area’s history of civil rights, including the fight for “the right for all hearts to have the freedom to love whoever they wanna love.” He then brought a woman named Jenny onstage to propose to her stunned girlfriend Natalie, which the audience aided in with maniacal applause and quite a few happy tears (she said yes, by the way). It was all too fitting that Mary Lambert then arrived onstage for the hook of smash hit “Same Love.”
“I’m a huge Tom Petty fan,” Macklemore insisted, showing his own unease with the scheduling conflict, “but when we drop this beat I want everyone at Tom Petty to hear you turn the fuck up!” Naturally, “Can’t Hold Us” followed, and the entire east end of Golden Gate Park was a roaring singalong. Check out a photo gallery of the performance below:
