No show de ontem (01/10) em Londres, Machine Gun Kelly cantou 'Thinking Out Loud' de Ed Sheeran pic.twitter.com/P3rDYtAluZ— MGK Brasil (@MGKBRA) October 2, 2022Reviewing MGK at Wembley Arena, the first UK date of his world tour, NME wrote: “It’s a swaggering bravado that dominates the two-hour, 29-track show from its first seconds, when he appears on Wembley Arena’s stage via pink helicopter.”“Making Wembley Arena feel intimate, Machine Gun Kelly owns the stage for the duration of the concert. Backed by a five-piece band, the aggressive moments from his past two albums shake the foundations of the venue while cuts from the rap-heavy ‘Hotel Diablo’ inspire countless moshpits.“The last time he was in London, it was at Brixton Academy, ‘and it didn’t look like this,’ laughs MGK before promising, ‘We are just beginning’.
