Heading Down Under! Machine Gun Kelly announces Australia and New Zealand tour dates

Machine Gun Kelly is heading back Down Under.

The 35-year-old rapper, who’s become a pop-punk sensation, announced on Thursday that he’s bringing his American Dream World Tour to Australia and New Zealand in April 2026.

This is his first time back to the region since 2018, when his ‘The 27 Tour’ sold out shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.

Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, is known as one of the most innovative and surprising artists in music today.

He started his career in hip-hop, then successfully transitioned to pop-punk and rock, becoming known for blending genres and gaining a dedicated fanbase worldwide.

Okay, so, like, my absolute FAVORITE artist, who’s from Cleveland, is finally touring! It’s all for his new album, ‘Lost Americana,’ and honestly, it’s EVERYTHING. It’s this amazing pop-rock sound, and you HAVE to listen to ‘Cliché’ and ‘Vampire Diaries’ – they’re already stuck in my head, and I can’t even!

The album’s release was announced with a movie-style trailer, and the voiceover was done by the iconic Bob Dylan.

And now Aussie fans will finally get their chance to hear the new tracks live.

The tour will kick off in Perth, with MGK taking over RAC Arena on Wednesday April 8.

He will then head east to Melbourne, performing at Rod Laver Arena on Saturday April 11.

Sydney will get its turn next, with the rapper rocking Qudos Bank Arena on Tuesday April 14.

Two days later, he will hit the stage at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Thursday April 16.

The tour will finish with a final performance at Spark Arena in Auckland on Saturday, April 18th.

Machine Gun Kelly’s upcoming concerts in Australia and New Zealand will feature support from up-and-coming artist honestav.

General sale will follow on Thursday September 25 from 4pm AEST.

Kelly recently shared personal feelings about his past relationship with Megan Fox, following the birth of their daughter.

As someone who follows modern family dynamics, I’ve been really impressed with how things are going for this dad. He and his ex-fiancée are co-parenting their little girl, Saga Blade, after deciding to go their separate ways around Thanksgiving. And honestly, he had nothing but wonderful things to say about her when he was on the Today Show recently – it’s so refreshing to see that kind of positive energy!

Just days after suggesting they might be getting back together, he praised actress Megan, 39, calling her a wonderful mother. The pair had an on-again, off-again relationship for four years.

Oh my gosh, I’m absolutely losing it! He just said she’s incredible, and I completely agree! It’s their fourth baby, can you believe it? But it’s *their* first together, which makes it even more special! I’m so thrilled for them, seriously, I’m buzzing!
