Macklemore last night brought his high-energy show to St Anne's Park in Dublin, with his signature mix of hip-hop grooves and infectious sing-along anthems, to a rave response from amped up fans - enjoy a gallery of pics from Leah Carroll above. The Grammy-winning rapper was joined by special guest Rudimental, hyping up the crowd and building the energy before Macklemore took to the stage. The rain mostly held off at the outdoor venue, with fans singing along to hits like Thrift Shop and Can't Hold Us. In between the bangers, Macklemore turned the spotlight out into the crowd and invited two fans (birthday girl Samantha and Ben) on stage for a dance off - they made the most of their new found fame!

Monkey Enters Villa in Cancun, Internet Obsessed With Entrance: 'He Ate'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A surprise monkey guest climbing into a girl's vacation villa in Cancun, Mexico, has left internet viewers in stitches. Emily Jordan (@emilyejordan) shared footage of a monkey crawling into their accommodation through a balcony door, and then striking a pose leaning against the door with his arm resting on the doorframe. The video garnered over 1.6 million likes and more than 7.4 million views on TikTok. "No but why did this monkey strike this pose before coming into our villa in Cancun," the poster wrote as the text overlaying the video. The women screamed as the playful monkey swept in and struck his pose. "Like I fear he ate …" she captioned the video. Spider monkeys are common in the Riviera Maya region, including Cancun. They are known for their agility, curiosity, and intelligence and often inhabit jungle areas near resorts. The monkeys can occasionally be spotted exploring human spaces—especially when food or shiny objects catch their attention. So, what should you do if a monkey decides to swing by your villa uninvited? The most important thing is to remain calm and avoid sudden movements. Make sure you secure yourself in a room and shut the door. Do not try to scare, entertain, or provoke the monkey. Avoid direct eye contact, and if possible, contact resort staff or animal control for assistance. In a follow-up video, Jordan shared more footage of the monkey entering the villa—with another primate visible on the balcony—as the women screamed once again to the soundtrack of Macklemore's "Can't Hold Us." "The people saying we should have closed the door are not going to like this one," the poster wrote as the text overlaying the clip. Stock image: A spider monkey leans on a window pane.

"He hit that pose as he walked in. Looked like he said 'Well helloooo ladies'," wrote another user. "He heard the Macklemore and went 'yk [you know] what … the ceiling really can't hold us [proud]'," commented Asher. "The monkey posing is still making me laugh so much," added Genevieve. "I know a baddie when I see one," said Neyah. Newsweek reached out to @emilyejordan for comment via TikTok. We could not verify the details of the case.
