MGK dedicated his latest “Lost Americana” tour show to two very special people in his life: his daughters, Casie Colson Baker and Saga Blade Fox-Baker.
“I would like to dedicate this show to my two baby girls,” the musician told the crowd at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles Thursday night, referencing his first child, now 16, and his new bundle of joy, whom he welcomed with Megan Fox in March.
“My oldest [Casie] grew up too fast,” he added.
A montage of clips then played on a projection screen, showcasing heartwarming moments between MGK and his family over the years as he performed a rendition of “play this when I’m gone,” a track he originally wrote for Casie.

“I want to highlight how important family is,” MGK, 35, said as he addressed the crowd. “If you’re here with your loved ones, love them forever, man.”
The special moment was well-received by fans in the audience, who braved LA’s torrential downpour and chillier temperatures Thursday night to pack out The Forum in support of the Grammy-nominated artist.
Clearly, it was all worth it.
“I looked up, I saw that weather. The clouds, I saw the rain. I said, ‘Is anybody coming?’” the “Wild Boy” rapper joked just moments after kicking off the show with “outlaw overture” and “starman.”
“I’m so glad that I’m stupid and I’m wrong 98 percent of the time. The only advantage of that rain is that you guys are already wet for me. Los Angeles, I think it’s time to heat some s–t up!”

The live show was electric from beginning to end, as MGK entertained the audience with his signature microphone tricks, guitar shreds, pyrotechnics and more.
The stage itself was just as epic, as it featured a massive hand holding a lit cigarette (later revealed to be an edgy replica of the Statue of Liberty).
“I have a lot of love for this town. If there’s any place I’d rather come out and try some s–t, it’d either be back in Cleveland [my hometown], or here,” he explained, revealing they’re “working on the setlist” as they go, unique to each tour stop.
The singer also stepped the tour up a notch by hiring dancers — including Delaney Glazer, who many may recognize from his “cliché” music video — to perform alongside him and bandmates JP “Rook” Cappelletty, Sophie Lloyd, Justin “Jus” Lyons, Steve “Baze” Basil, No Love and Brandon “Slimxx” Allen.

They ran through hit after hit from MGK’s “Lost Americana” album, which was released in August via EST 19XX and Interscope Records, the follow-up to 2022’s “Mainstream Sellout.”
Page Six spotted several celebrities in the audience, including singer Mod Sun and actress Madelaine Petsch, rocking out throughout the night as MGK and crew performed songs like “dont wait run fast,” “vampire diaries” and “goddamn.”
The concert also served as a celebration of the fifth anniversary of “Tickets to My Downfall,” a record that ignited the 2020s pop punk revival and became certified platinum by the RIAA.
MGK’s two-hour set included classic “TTMD” hits like “bloody valentine,” “my ex’s best friend,” “lonely” “drunk face” and “forget me too.”
“I always hope that you guys choose to show up. I hope that you support me through all the random eras that I continue to keep [creating],” the genre-defying artist, who previously went by the stage name Machine Gun Kelly, proclaimed at one point in the show.
“Now the words for MGK stand for Multi-Genre King. I will never be put in a f–king box!”
Toward the end of the night, MGK confirmed that his next project — a long-awaited rap album he previously said would be his “greatest rap album yet” — will be dropping in 2026. It will mark his official return to the genre since 2019’s “Hotel Diablo.”
“When you come back next year, it will be nothing like this,” he teased. “This is a special f–king moment. New setlist, new album.”
