Global music superstar mgk brought his “Lost Americana Tour” to the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in New York, where he played for a sold-out venue. #Powerjournalist Markos Papadatos has the recap.
He kicked off his set with “FIX UR Face” and immediately broke into “outlaw overture” and “maybe.”
Seeing mgk live at Darien Lake Amphitheater was nothing short of electrifying. From the moment he stepped on stage, the energy was absolutely off the charts. mgk has a rare ability to connect with a crowd, and throughout the night he made every fan feel like they were part of something special.
mgk did The Kid LAROI justice with a distinct cover of the unapologetic “F*CK YOU, GOODBYE,” which he made his own, and the same holds true for “miss sunshine” and “goddam.”
This journalist’s personal favorite mgk tune was the infectious “I Think I’m OKAY,” of course, “bloody valentine” and “my ex’s best friend,” all of which were sheer bliss.
Wiz Khalifa joined him on stage for “girl next door,” “everything tatted,” “MPH,” and “Mind of a Stoner,” and his on-stage presence was met with a raucous response.
His version of The Killers’ signature song “Mr. Brightside” was vivacious and anthemic.
After “DAYWALKER,” he closed with “papercuts,” “cliché” and “vampire diaries,” where he left his fans yearning for more.
