MGK Day will feature an album release show at Jacobs Pavilion, skateboarding, bar crawl, motorcycle city ride and more. The first MGK Day took place in 2022, after Mayor Justin Bibb announced August 13th was Machine Gun Kelly Day. That year, mgk performed a sold-out show for 50,000+ fans at Huntington Bank Field. This year’s MGK Day coincides with the release of the multi-platinum artist’s latest studio album, “lost americana”. The album will be released on August 8th.
Fans will be able to grab exclusive merch and have photo ops at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s “lost americana” pop-up shop, located on Level 0 of the museum. The shop will be open from Thursday through Saturday and is free to enter. Exclusive mgk artifacts are also on display currently in the museum’s “Right Here, Right Now” exhibit.
