My Oh My.

The incredibly popular duo of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were playing to a sold-out crowd at the 3Arena in Dublin this weekend and the Grammy Award winner didn't disappoint with lots of his fans absolutely loving the gig. https://twitter.com/mel_melser/status/721317354060312576 The rapper has always felt a special bond with Irish audiences and it seems like he's adored by his fans over here also. https://twitter.com/macklemore/status/720912781227110400 Here he is throwing a cookie onto the second tier of the venue after his song "Let's Eat". We've no idea why he did this but it's pretty impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoFAM1hxjEQ While fans of the 'Thrift Shop' and 'Can't Hold Us' singer were understandably swept up in the buzz of the evening, journalist Dave Hanratty was also in attendance but in a strictly professional capacity. His account of the whole evening is wonderfully surreal. Take a look. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721072166033297409 As is the norm with most performers that are looking for some hometown love, Macklemore played up the Irish card. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721075799688929280 Things got a bit weird though. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721078578683736064 The standard chant soon broke out. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721081528344842240 Dave seemed like he was slowly being won over by the Washington rapper. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721083877633171456 Chants are back, Ted. The rapper might also get a bit of a surprise when he visits the Twister Pepper/ Wigwam though. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721084937487695872 To be fair to the Grammy Winner, he did give everything when he was on stage. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721086106469560320 The crowd seemed like they were really getting into it. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721088654177906688 https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721093921762320384 There was drama in the jacks though... https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721097404943056896 ...and on stage. https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721099007200751616 https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721101631727775745 The important question. Will Dave and Macklemore be mates? https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721103651180306433 You better believe it! https://twitter.com/HanrattyDave/status/721090693251342341 Here's hoping that Macklemore's upcoming Dublin gigs will be just as eventful. Feel free to listen to Dave's superb HeadStuff podcast for a further insight into his wonderful mind.
