Meg Mac Announces New Album and 2026 Tour

A new Meg Mac album is on the way.

Set for release on February 20th, It’s My Party is an eclectic alt-pop record that sees Mac letting go on rigidity in favour for instinct and play. Her fourth studio album, written and recorded between London and LA, marks a vivid new chapter for the singer-songwriter – one defined by creative freedom, collaboration, and joy.

It was produced by acclaimed UK producer Bullion, who has also worked with the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen and Ben Howard.

“I thought I had this whole album planned out – I was going for this dark, witchy vibe and I was so serious,” Mac said. “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. “I’ve spent most of my career being stressed, but somehow I stopped trying to control it all and found the magic in collaboration, being open and not worrying so much.”

It’s My Party reflects a meeting of worlds – sonically, geographically, and creatively. Mac credits her partnership with Bullion as transformative. “I’m forever grateful to Bullion. 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 recent singles “He Said No”, “Tune I’ll Be Singing Till I’m Dead”, and “Sometimes”, as well as a new track “Outdone”, released this week. “Outdone” is a moody, atmospheric cut threaded with electronic undertones that highlight Mac’s unmistakable vocal power.

To celebrate the release, Mac will take It’s My Party on the road with a national theatre tour, following three sold-out performances at Belvoir Street Theatre late last year. More recently, she had been playing a run of unannounced pop-up shows at bars around the country, often revealed less than 12 hours before doors. The short-notice gigs have consistently drawn strong turnouts, offering fans a rare chance to see her in stripped-back, close-quarters settings and underscoring the demand for her return to the stage.

Developed in collaboration with award-winning director and lighting designer Alexander Berlage, the forthcoming live theatre show will transcend the traditional concert format, offering an intimate evening that blends music, storytelling, and moments of lightness and fun.

These shows will invite audiences inside her creative world, presenting her most personal performances yet while reimagining songs from the new album alongside highlights from her acclaimed catalogue.

The tour will kick off at Sydney’s York Theatre on February 27th, before shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Tickets go on sale on Friday, January 23rd, following a presale that begins Wednesday, January 21st – sign up here.
