Mac DeMarco at The Fonda Theatre in Hollywood

Mac DeMarco is a Canadian-born songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who now lives in Los Angeles, which makes this a bit of a hometown night. On Thursday, October 22, 2026, he plays The Fonda Theatre, one of the better-sounding rooms among the LA concerts on the calendar this month.

When: Thursday, October 22, 2026, 8:30 PM to about 10:30 PM Where: The Fonda Theatre, 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028 Tickets: Through Ticketmaster; the listing does not show a price here, so check the official page

What to expect

DeMarco records and produces most of his own music, and his catalog leans on warm, slightly wobbly guitar tones, easygoing melodies and a loose, jokey stage presence. Ticketmaster files the show under alternative rock, and that fits: it is jangly, laid-back and built for singing along with a drink in hand. The Discover Los Angeles listing gives an 8:30 PM start and a 10:30 PM end, so plan for a roughly two-hour evening. Openers have not been confirmed in the sources, so it is worth checking the ticket page for the full bill.

The Fonda Theatre

The Fonda is a historic Hollywood Boulevard theater with a mid-sized floor and a balcony, so you are never far from the stage. It has been a go-to stop for touring indie and alternative acts for years, and it suits a songwriter whose shows depend on feel as much as volume. If you are collecting live music Los Angeles nights this fall, an artist who actually lives in town and plays a room this size is a good one to catch.

Getting there

The theater sits on Hollywood Blvd. near Gower Street, a short walk from the Hollywood/Vine Metro B Line station. Parking around here fills up fast on show nights, so a rideshare or the train saves some stress. Arrive a little early, since entry lines can stretch down the block, and bring a photo ID in case the venue checks it.

Make a night of it

Hollywood has plenty of places to eat before a show, from quick tacos to sit-down dinners along Vine and Cahuenga. If you want more things happening in Hollywood the same week, browse our Hollywood neighborhood page and the full concerts category for other shows nearby.
