MGK Lost Americana Tour Australia Adds Will Swinton As Tickets Run Low

Share

Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘Lost Americana Tour’ Australia run is tightening fast, with Melbourne officially sold out and limited tickets left across the remaining dates.

Now, there’s a new name stepping into the mix, with Aotearoa artist Will Swinton added to the lineup alongside honestav.

The Live Nation run marks MGK’s return to Australia and New Zealand off the back of his seventh album Lost Americana, a record that continues his shapeshifting between rap, rock, and alt-pop.

From chance meeting to main stage

Swinton’s inclusion isn’t random, his story with MGK reads like something pulled from a tour diary.

After quitting his job at a trampoline park and flying from Auckland to LA on a one way ticket, Swinton crossed paths with MGK in an Idaho bar in 2022, that moment led to a backstage invite on the Mainstream Sellout Tour and, eventually, a steady climb of his own.

Four years on, he’s sitting on over 100 million streams, two EPs, and a co-sign from Kelly Clarkson, who covered his track ‘Flames’ on US TV. Recent singles ‘Find A Way’ and ‘Better Off’ hint at a debut album not far off.

It’s a left field addition that actually makes sense once you trace the thread.

MGK’s biggest run yet

This tour follows MGK’s arena heavy Mainstream Sellout run, including that massive hometown stadium show in Cleveland. The Lost Americana Tour pushes things further, stretching across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Whether you’re still on board with his genre hopping or not, the scale is undeniable, with more than 20.6 billion streams deep, MGK has built a live show that leans as much on spectacle as it does on sound.

For Australian fans, the urgency is real, one city’s already sold out, and the rest aren’t far behind.
