Night one of Machine Gun Kelly’s Lost Americana Tour at Desert Diamond Arena in Arizona was unforgettable for everyone there. One of my favorite things about MGK is his ability to light up a room and really captivate a crowd unlike any other performer right now. Machine gun Kelly himself is an immensely talented person. Talking with him personally I can say that he is unapologetically himself, extremely humble, and has such a passion and drive for what he does. Kells is multi talented he is a lyrical genius and an astonishing performer.  With that said if you don’t have tickets already to any shows for this Lost Americana Tour you better not miss out on what will likely be the top concert of the year. 


From the stage design to the lighting and effects and visuals as well as the creative direction, and just the out pour of hard work and dedication of passion to their craft that each and every person apart of the Lost Americana tour has put into the show is unbelievable. The performances you see during the 2 hour long show are unlike anything you’ve seen from Machine Gun Kelly this far. With mashups of his classics and OG songs to his new album Lost Americana and previously released album Tickets to my Downfall. The choreography that Kells and dancers Delaney Glazer and Caitlyn Holzer do is done with such precision and synchronicity while also being so fun that everyone around you starts dancing too. Choreographed by Sean Bankhead who has given us all some of our favorite songs and artists best dance moves’. 

Of course an honorable mention to Machine Gun Kelly’s insanely talented band built up of an all star line up. From Slim who is also a producer and music director who has an amazing ear for music, Rook who some would describe as a modern day Tommy Lee or Travis Barker plays the drums so passionately, Baze who has so much stage charisma he will have you head banging along with him to every song, Justin Lyons known as guitar slayer has this ability to play with such effortless soul and has played with icons like the K-Pop sensations Black Pink, Sophie Lloyd’s guitar playing is electric she is a powerhouse, Andrew Migliore also known as No Love is a multi instrumentalist from guitar to cello and drums has this level of control that shows just how much skill and dedication he has to his instrument. 

Sam Cahill has been Machine Gun Kelly’s photographer and director behind some of MGK’s most iconic photos, albums, and music videos. Sam’s eye for detail is incredible—he captures moments with such artistry that every photo or video feels like a story frozen in time. He is a creative mastermind.
