CLEVELAND — Cleveland native Machine Gun Kelly is ready to rock his hometown this summer as his "Mainstream Sellout Tour" will feature one stadium stop – and it’s set for FirstEnergy Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 13.
MGK will be joined by Avril Lavigne, Travis Barker, Willow and Trippie Redd.
Want to go? A limited number of concert tickets will be up for grabs in a special presale from 7-10 a.m. inside MGK’s coffee shop – 27 Club Coffee – which is located at 1215 West 10th Street in Cleveland. Tickets will go on sale to the general public HERE at 10 a.m. Friday, March 25.
“First time he’s ever played a stadium," Barry Gabel of Live Nation tells 3News. "He wanted to do it for his hometown. He curated the entire concert that night.”
He opened the coffee shop a few years ago, its name inspired by the number of famous musicians who passed away at the early age of 27.
“Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, they were all 27 years old,” the shop’s general manager told 3News in October 2020. “There are tons more but they became the 27 Club.”
Machine Gun Kelly was most recently back in Northeast Ohio in February to compete in the 2022 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. His team won 65-51. Prior to that, he was also back in Cleveland for a performance at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse last December and on the last night of the 2021 NFL Draft last spring.
MGK is currently touring internationally. His next performance is set for the Asuncionico Festival in Paraguay.
