Mac DeMarco will host Grill for Good in Melbourne this Sunday 12 January, inviting friends to join him behind the grill for an old school sausage sizzle. Running all-day for all-ages at Victoria Park, the event will feature local artists, chefs, DJs and small businesses banding together to collect donations for the Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities and Wildlife Victoria.

With currently over 8.4 million hectares burned across Australia and a billion animals that have perished in recent bushfires, locals and visitors alike have dug deep and donated funds for the embattled firefighters, affected communities and wildlife preservation efforts.

A frequent visitor to Australia throughout his career, Mac will pick up the tongs and shake the tins following the Melbourne leg of his national tour.

Joining Mac on the hot plate will be Alice Skye, Amyl and The Sniffers, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Laura Jean, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, and many more, as well as his tour mates Pond and CHAI (Japan). They’ll be supervised by and offered sausage-turning tips from some of Melbourne’s best chefs, including Tobie Puttock, Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters), Raph Rashid, David Moyle and more.

Classic meat and vege sausages can be paired with drinks from a bar operated by Blackhearts & Sparrows.

Soundtracking the day will be DJ sets from the likes of Cut Copy, Amyl and the Sniffers, Harvey Sutherland, Miss Blanksand friends, Remi and friends and Soju Gang.

Fans can also donate for a selfie with Mac, and purchase event merch provided by Love Police with artwork by Beci Orpin, with all funds going toward bushfire relief.

Empty your pockets and fill your belly, at Grill for Good.
