One of the best parts of releasing a new album is getting to perform it live, and Im excited to have the opportunity to do my first ever performance in Dolby Atmos, said Ben Haggerty, (Macklemore). I can't wait to be back at SXSW to share this moment with my fans and the City of Austin.
We are excited to bring the Dolby Atmos live music experience to SXSW with a performance by Macklemore, said Todd Pendleton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Dolby Laboratories.

About Dolby Atmos
Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio experience transforming how music is created and enjoyed. Dolby Atmos brings live performances to the next level by taking listeners inside the music to reveal details with unparalleled clarity and depth. Whether it's hearing the layers of instruments move all around, catching the subtle breath a singer takes between lyrics, or being enveloped in a wave of melodies, nothing compares to hearing music live in Dolby Atmos.
About Macklemore
Following a quiet grind over the course of a decade, Macklemore magnetically drew the mainstream to him- on his own terms. Fiercely committed to independence, he teamed up with producer Ryan Lewis and unveiled The Heist in 2012. He entered rarified air as one of only 19 acts in history to earn two RIAA diamond singles from the same album, namely Thrift Shop [feat. Wanz] and Can't Hold Us. Not to mention, the duo garnered four GRAMMY Awards in the categories of Best New Artist, Best Rap Album for The Heist, and Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for Thrift Shop. 2017 saw him unveil his sophomore solo LP, Gemini. It bowed at #2 on the Billboard 200 and claimed #1 on the Top Rap Albums Chart, Top R&B/Hip- Hop Albums Chart, and Top Independent Albums Chart powered by platinum singles- Glorious [feat. Skylar Grey], Good Old Days [feat. Ke$ha], and Marmalade [feat. Lil Yachty]. Along the way, he gathered nearly 20 billion total streams and views, enshrining him as one of the most successful independent artists in history. He has supported artists in his hometown as co-founder of hip-hop and youth development program The Residency. As a staunch advocate for addiction and recovery, he notably appeared in an MTV special alongside President Barack Obama about the opioid epidemic in America. His ventures have expanded to include golf and lifestyle clothing brand Bogey Boys and co-ownership of both Major League Soccer team Seattle Sounders and NHL team Seattle Kraken.
