MGK Taps Wiz Khalifa for Massive Lost Americana Tour Kickoff and Brooklyn Show Teasers

Elena West here, and get ready to feel the energy surge because we are unlocking a blockbuster moment in contemporary rock-rap fusion. Machine Gun Kelly just dropped a sweeping confirmation that his Lost Americana Tour is a global sprint set to launch in late 2025 and roll through spring and summer 2026. The road map is ambitious, and the first blaze of heat lands right on Brooklyn’s Barclays Center where MGK will headline on Saturday, December 13. That single Brooklyn date is only the opening volley of a sprawling run that will also see him hitting Holmdel, New Jersey’s PNC Bank Arts Center on June 9, and Darien Lake Amphitheater in Buffalo on June 13, 2026.

But that is not where the excitement ends. This tour is stacked with collaborators and rising acts ready to amplify the experience. For the 2025 leg, MGK will be joined by Julia Wolf as a special guest, setting a fierce tone for a run that blends his signature guitar-forward alt-rock rap with newer sonic experiments. In 2026, the star-power escalates as Wiz Khalifa steps in to provide support, a pairing fans have long anticipated given their mutual respect and high-energy stage presence. The itinerary isn’t finished there; additional opening acts including honestav, Beauty School Dropout, De’Wayne, and Mod Sun are slated to appear on select dates, ensuring every show carries its own unique flavor.

MGK’s announcement comes on the heels of his seventh studio album, Lost Americana, released in August. Critics describe the project as a bold reinvention that sits comfortably beside his Nebraska-inspired bravado and Scarecrow-era storytelling. Slant Magazine notes that Lost Americana anchors itself in the idea of a kid who made it big, wrestling with the question of what comes next, an arc that tracks well with MGK’s live persona: high-octane, emotionally honest, and unapologetically raw. In the lead-up to the tour, MGK performed a string of intimate pop-up shows at venues with quirky, barroom vibes—the sort of strategy that fans instantly translate into tangible energy when the stadium lights finally rise.

Ticket information is flowing through major marketplaces with a Thursday on-sale date for the public. Vivid Seats, cited as a trusted secondary market platform, is offering a buyer guarantee that promises secure transactions and timely delivery, which matters when fans are chasing the exact seat that will feel like a personal front-row experience. The on-sale date is September 25, and while the initial batch is sold out online in some markets, there is still a chance to snag coveted tickets as the full calendar expands with venues and international dates.

What does this mean for MGK’s brand of cross-genre reinvention? It signals a strategic blend of big arena energy with intimate, character-driven storytelling. It’s a tour that rewards devoted fans with a mix of established crowd-pleasers and fresh material from Lost Americana. It also cements MGK’s position as a live act capable of sustaining momentum across multiple years and continents, a crucial metric for artists navigating the modern music economy where streaming dominance must be balanced with the gravity of live spectacle. As the tour caveat goes, dates and countries are still being added, so fans should stay tuned for updates and new surprise stops.

Now, with Brooklyn’s Barclays Center as the starting spark and a future headline slot shared with Wiz Khalifa on the horizon, the Lost Americana Tour is shaping up to be one of the year’s defining musical journeys. The question on every fan’s lips: which city will deliver the most unforgettable MGK moment, and how will the setlist evolve as the tour hits new markets? Buckle up, because this ride is just getting started, and the next announcement could be the one that changes your concert calendar forever.
