Machine Gun Kelly brought The Lost Americana Tour to Utilia Arena Birmingham on March 10th 2026- and what a night it was. This is his seventh studio album that mixes rap, rock and alternative pop energy.,


I attended the event with my very excited 11 year old. It was her first concert after being invited last minute due to my 'niece' being too unwell to attend whilst I was sad she couldn't come along I was thrilled that my daughter would be able to see one of her favourite artists at this time performing live, so I embraced the change of plans. My daughter was thrilled also.


Now I go to a lot of music events, theatre productions etc. I love live entertainment and thanks to my super hyper AuDHD I can thrive in any situation and have an absolute blast anywhere when I'm in the mood. I have been on some wild adventures and done a lot of crazy things over the years so take all this into account when i tell you that this was possibly the best event I have ever attended, mostly just due to the fact that I got to see my wonderful daughter in her absolute element. Now my children haven't really been introduced in my blog properly yet, so if you don't know us as a family personally it may not sound like such a big deal but to give you a overview of my daughter she is diagnosed ADHD and on the pathway for Autism also, she has recently tried to inteigate into mainstream education after been home educated for years due to schools not meeting her needs, she struggles socially and with moodswings and anxiety, and also has tics which is being investigated as possibel tourettes. So to attend a event with her where she spends hours back to back laughing,screaming, singing and barely ticing at all in a public space full of people was mindblowing to see and such a beautiful experience for me that i did find mhself getting tearful frequently. I got told off multiple times for filimng her instead of MGK because seeing my daughter that happy and eurporic was a blessing.


The show itself was fantastic also, I havent known or listened to MGK until the last maybe year so most of his work is fairly new to me but I absoultely adore his music. I love and listen to so many genres so to have one artist perform for oer 2 hours and cover so many areas of music was fantatsic to me. I was also especially impressed by his guitar skills and his band and dancers werre all smoking hot and super talented. His audience interactions were so wholesome and it confirmed for me that the hate against MGK is forced. How can people dislike this guy? His daughters and family were mentioend throughout and since following him the last few months I really respect him as a human and father as well as a artist. One thing I dont know about yet is his avting skills, my eldest daughter is ordering me to watch The Dirt so I will report back after I have seen that.


But for now, Thankyou MGK for such a wonderful concert and experience. And if anyone eveer gets the chance to go see him then I advise to do so.


Also big props to Utilia accessibile seating and services. The staff were amazing and so helpful. It was probably my favourite venue so far when dealing with accessibility access.
