Multi-hyphenate Artist Machine Gun Kelly surprised Toronto, appearing at Sunrise Records Square One in support of his latest album, Lost Americana. This seventh studio Disc is out August 8, 2025 via Universal Music Canada and he has the distinction of having icon Bob Dylan voice the Album’s Trailer – a super-rare feat!
MGK arrived in Toronto today after a busy few days of press in New York, including an appearance on Jimmy Fallon, stopping by to meet fans and pose for Photos later in the afternoon in Mississauga. He then played a surprise set at famed Horseshoe Tavern, limiting it to 300 fans who were lucky enough to attend!
Above this, MGK has a collaboration launching August 8th also at PRINCE STREET PIZZA, packing starpower, but also heat! He had a hand in designing this together with PSP‘s pizza mastery. The pizza box also is inspired by Lost Americana. We had the chance to try it. Delicious!
We are thrilled finally to have met this brilliant talent and we were so flattered that he complimented our outfit. It was amazing seeing him take the time to interact with approximately 200 fans who scored wristbands by pre-ordering the Album ahead. We genuinely are a fan of his, no matter if he’s singing, rapping or acting.

It was a huge night at Scotiabank Area as Machine Gun Kelly brought his Mainstream Sellout Tour to Toronto! The Actor/Singer has been making headlines of late, punctuated also by his relationship with Actress Megan Fox and recently smashing glass on his face! And fans came out in droves to hear his hits “my ex’s best friend”, “I Think I’m OKAY”, “forget me too” and more. Following the Show, hoards of fans crowded around his Tour Bus outside the venue for a chance to get close to him and some lucky fans got their signs and body parts signed even! He partied with the likes of Drake and The Weeknd, both in-town at a private event north of the City following the Show.

Supporting him were iconic Avril Lavigne, who just concluded her own Canadian Bite Me Tour in May, highlighted by an appearance at the JUNO Awards in Toronto! Lavigne was back again, drawing many of her own fans out to the Show, joining Machine Gun Kelly on-stage for “Bois Lie“, plus performing an hour-long set of her hits. We were extremely lucky to get a Snap with Lavigne. She was joined by her family on her Tour Bus as they head to the Tour’s next stop in Kansas City.
Opening the Show was up-and-comer Iann Dior, whom like Machine Gun Kelly, also hails from Texas. Dior among others, performed his hits “Emotions”, “Live Fast Die Numb” and more. Dior drew a big crowd following the Show, graciously stopping to pose for Selfies by his Tour Bus!
Machine Gun Kelly recently recruited popular British Guitarist Sophie Lloyd to his Tour and she put-on a scene-stealing display, placing all eyes on her during her skilful guitar solos. She was amazing also to stop for fans after the Show, many as excited to see her as the Supporting Acts!
