MEG MAC 8pm May 7th At The Northern

ARIA #1 artist Meg Mac is in her party era.

Her fourth studio album, ‘It’s My Party’, marks a vivid new chapter — one shaped by creative freedom, collaboration, and joy. Written and recorded between London and Los Angeles, the album reflects a shift away from rigid planning toward instinct, play, and openness. What began as a tightly controlled concept ultimately evolved into something far more expansive. As Meg puts it, “I thought I had this whole album planned out — I was going for this dark, witchy vibe and I was so serious. Then honestly, not one thing went to plan and I was forced to let go for once in my life.”

That release became central to the album’s emotional core. After years of intense self-pressure, Meg found a new creative rhythm by loosening control and embracing collaboration. “I’ve spent most of my career being stressed,” she says, “but somehow I stopped trying to control it all and found the magic in being open and not worrying so much.”

Produced by acclaimed UK producer Bullion (Carly Rae Jepsen, Ben Howard), ‘It’s My Party’ is an eclectic alt-pop record that brings together contrasting worlds — sonically, geographically, and creatively. Meg credits the partnership as transformative: “Our paths crossed in London and he taught me to follow creativity and fun, and not to worry — and I love what we’ve made together.”

The album features tracks such as ‘He Said No’, ‘Tune I’ll Be Singing Till I’m Dead’, ‘Sometimes’, and ‘Outdone’, a moody, atmospheric cut threaded with electronic undertones that highlights Meg’s unmistakable vocal power while leaning into darker textures. Across the record, she continues to balance emotional honesty with irresistible melody, delivering some of her most open, joyful, and self-assured work to date.

Great Southern Nights 2026 takes place from 1 – 17 May 2026 featuring 300+ gigs across Sydney and New South Wales.
