This afternoon, Grammy-winning hip-hop duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis announced their "An Evening With" national tour – which includes a stop at The Rave's Eagles Ballroom on Friday, Feb. 5 at 8 p.m.

The show will mark the duo's first visit to Milwaukee since 2013, when the two played a free Yahoo-sponsored concert at Turner Hall Ballroom. 

After spending several years performing and growing a following in the Northwest, the Seattle-born rapper-producer tandem blew up in 2012 with the release of their studio debut "The Heist," featuring the hit singles 'Thrift Shop," "Can't Hold Us," "Same Love" and "White Walls." The album went on to receive seven Grammy nominations and four wins – just one behind the evening's big winner, Daft Punk. 

Controversy quickly followed Macklemore, whether it was because of a post-Grammys text message he sent to Kendrick Lamar and then posted to Instagram basically apologizing for winning, old dug-up tweets hinting at Sept. 11 Trutherism, donning a costume for a secret show that some considered anti-semitic and the general "being gay is perfectly fine, but I'm totally not gay" tone to his award-winning gay pride anthem "Same Love."

Few of the minor controversies particularly stuck, however, as their new moped-centric single "Downtown" off their upcoming second studio album still landed as a top 10 single with a music video nabbing 35 million views on YouTube. 

Tickets for The Rave show go on sale Friday, Oct. 16 beginning at 10 a.m.
