Machine Gun Kelly Announces Massive US, UK and European ‘Mainstream Sellout’ Tour
Machine Gun Kelly has announced details of a big world tour behind his new album ‘Mainstream Sellout’.
The rapper-turned-pop-punk star’s new record is following on from a string of collaborative singles – ‘Ay’ with Lil Wayne, ‘Emo Girl’ with Willow Smith, and ‘maybe’ ft. Bring Me The Horizon.
At the start of June, Kelly will begin the North American leg of the ‘Mainstream Sellout’ tour, which will see him supported by Avril Lavigne, Travis Barker, WILLOW, PVRIS and more.
A UK and European tour then begins in September, running through to October and featuring a London date at Wembley Arena.
‘Mainstream Sellout’ was originally due to be called ‘Born With Horns’, but had its name changed earlier this year. Previously, Kelly and the album’s executive producer Travis Barker had both got tattoos of its original title.
The follow-up to 2020’s ‘Tickets To My Downfall’ is set to be “more guitar-heavy” and lyrically “deeper”, MGK said last year.
“Every album is a juxtaposition of the last album. So I went and studied ‘Tickets’, and I heard the bright sound that I had, and for this album I just turned the lights off.”
He continued: “I’m not scared anymore, there’s nothing holding me back from being my true self – and my true self can’t be silenced, can’t be restrained. It’s a force, it’s like a hurricane. Can’t stop that, it just goes until it feels like stopping, and I don’t feel like stopping anytime soon.”
