Modern day pop-punk prince Colson Baker AKA Machine Gun Kelly kicked off the 2022 Mainstream Sellout World Tour in spectacular fashion with one of the most ridiculous and elaborate stage entrances we've seen.
The tour got rolling with its first stop in Austin, Texas, at the Moody Center and featured the star entering the gig in a massive pink and black helicopter stage prop. The aircraft landed in the middle of the arena and Kelly then attached himself via rope ladder and was carried mid-air to the stage as the intro to his song "born with horns" began to play.
This stunt seems of little surprise to anyone following the rockstar since his transition to the genre from rap. Ever since the release of 2020's Tickets To My Downfall, Kelly seems to have gotten progressively more outspoken and over the top. Regardless, he certainly knows how to grab an audience's attention and certainly did so with this wild entrance.
The 2022 Mainstream Sellout World Tour will see the star on the road across North America and Europe until late October with support from Blink-182's Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne, Blackbear, Iann Dior, PVRIS, Trippie Redd, WILLOW, and 44phantom.
