He has already made a spectacular appearance in Munich: in November 2024, during the half-time show of the NFL game between the New York Giants and the Carolina Panthers at the Allianz Arena. In front of 70,000 people in Fröttmaning, Machine Gun Kelly played some of his greatest hits. But anyone who wants to see the US superstar as the main act at a full live concert will have the opportunity to do on 17 February 2026 at the Olympic Hall.

Born Colson Baker in Houston, Texas, the singer first made a name for himself as a rapper. His first four albums released in the 2010s (‘Lace Up’, ‘General Admission’, “Bloom” and ‘Hotel Diablo’) were all dominated by hip-hop. Tickets To My Downfall marked a radical break in Machine Gun Kelly's musical career in 2020, with the album being a powerful work of pop punk. And promptly, mgk, as he also calls himself, reached number 1 on the US charts for the first time. Single releases such as ‘Bloody Valentine’, ‘My Ex's Best Friend’ and ‘Forget Me Too’ became some of his biggest hits.

After ‘Mainstream Sellout’ (2022), ‘Lost Americana’ was released in 2025, the multi-talented artist's seventh studio album. mgk won over none other than Bob Dylan himself as a prominent advocate in the trailer for the album. Stylistically, the album is once again influenced by pop and rock, with a slight touch of country and folk. In this country, ‘Lost Americana’ reached number 2, the best chart position for an mgk album to date. So it was exactly the right time to stop off in Germany for four performances at the beginning of 2026 as part of his biggest tour to date – including a show at the Olympic Hall.
