Machine Gun Kelly 2021 Tour – Tickets To My Downfall Tour Schedule
It’s been a busy year for Machine Gun Kelly, and the rapper-turned-rocker is taking his show on the road for the “Tickets to My Downfall” tour. Kicking off September 9th in Minneapolis, MN, the tour will criss-cross the country for 38 shows as fans get their first live taste of MGK’s newly rock-inspired sound.
Machine Gun Kelly’s fifth studio album, Tickets to My Downfall, was released in September 2020 to critical success… and a bit of confusion. While the rapper had established his rap sound all throughout the 2010s, this record was driven more by guitars and angsty lyrics, with a pop-punk sound that could easily trick listeners into thinking they were at the 2008 Warped Tour.
Songs like “Bloody Valentine, “Concert for Aliens, and “My Ex’s Best Friend” featured more singing from Machine Gun Kelly (also known as Colton Baker) than the rapping that his followers were used to. Regardless, the tracks began to climb the charts, and Baker has achieved his goal of reaching a broader demographic and “inspiring a younger generation to learn guitar.”
As for the album’s semi-pessimistic name? Machine Gun Kelly told Kerrang! the reason behind it. “As soon as that [Los Angeles] Goodyear Blimp catches on fire, or that thing starts falling from the sky, I guarantee you every single eye is going to look up at it; every single phone is going to capture that moment; every single person is going to talk about that, right?” he explains.
“The Goodyear Blimp falls from the sky. But do the headlines ever say when you wake up on this casual Wednesday that the Goodyear Blimp is floating, alive and well? No. And that’s kind of sad: that it takes you to crash and burn to get people to pay attention to you again.” Baker compares the blimp to his own career, in which people also hope to see him “crash and burn” as opposed to rising. While it’s certainly a dark thought, it did help to create one of the best Machine Gun Kelly albums in years!
MGK regularly makes headlines for his business endeavors and relationship with Megan Fox, but it’s his music that truly deserves the spotlight. The Tickets to My Downfall tour will be the first time that fans get to hear the new Machine Gun Kelly, rock-inspired sound onstage, and you don’t want to miss these dates.
