MGK Day Coming To Cleveland This Week

08-05-2025

(ICLG) This year, the city of Cleveland, Ohio will watch its hometown hero and multi-platinum recording artist, mgk, curate the annual MGK Day. In recognition of mgk's impact, the annual charity event serves as a celebration of unity, compassion, and community spirit.

From August 8-10, fans will savor everything Cleveland-bred, as the weekend-long activation will feature music, food, vendors and more. This year's celebration includes an XX-Con Release Event, Skate Event with Street League Skateboarding, City Ride with Harley Davidson, Monster Energy Celebrity Basketball Game powered by Webull free to the public, and the main event the MGK Day Art + Community Festival and more.

The event coincides with the release of his latest studio album "lost americana" which will be released on August 8. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will launch MGK Day weekend with a lost americana themed pop-up merch store on Level 0 of the museum, offering moments to fans including exclusive items and photo ops. The store will be open daily from Thursday through Saturday and is free to enter.

Additionally, fans can view exclusive mgk artifacts in the museum's recently reopened "Right Here, Right Now" exhibit along with live music, and other activities throughout the weekend.

In 2022, mgk delivered a sold-out concert for 50,000+ fans at Huntington Bank Field (previously FirstEnergy Stadium), making him the first and only Ohio native to sell out the stadium. This historic event happened after Mayor Justin Bibb officially proclaimed August 13th as "Machine Gun Kelly Day."
