The chart-topper kept up the rock star theme in a pair of black trousers that cuffed at the ankles, and a pair of red shoes.

The hip-hop artist seemed to be enjoying himself as he danced animatedly while performing on-stage.

Macklemore and his musical collaborator Ryan Lewis are currently on their packed-out Australian tour.
