Machine Gun Kelly is bringing MGK Day back to Cleveland this summer, and it’s shaping up to be more than just another music festival. The two-day event on August 7-8 takes over downtown with a full schedule of activities, performances, and community celebrations. MGK headlines Saturday night at North Coast Yard with special guest Wiz Khalifa, followed by a fireworks display at dusk. Tickets go on sale today at noon Eastern time, starting at just $39 for general admission.
Beyond the music, the festival offers something for everyone. Friday features a skateboarding best trick competition at Crooked River Skate Park, while Saturday includes a tailgate party and a Harley-Davidson ride through the city. You can grab a tailgate pass for $185 that includes five general admission tickets and parking, or go all-in with a VIP package at $237. For a guy who started his career rapping in parking lots because clubs wouldn’t let him in, MGK has built something that genuinely feels like family to the people of Cleveland.
What makes this festival tick is the authenticity behind it. MGK has talked about how people from all over the world travel to Cleveland for one weekend to celebrate the music, the community, and the history. It’s a homecoming that matters, and it shows in how the city embraces it. Are you planning to make the trip to Cleveland this August?
