MGK: https://machinegunkelly.com — MGK headlines the “Lost Americana Tour”, with the Raleigh stop set for 8/22/26 at Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek. Critics describe MGK’s sound as a hybrid of rap-rock, pop-punk, and alternative rock: his early work steered firmly into hip-hop, but in recent years his output has leaned toward guitar-driven structures, anthemic choruses and emo-tinged songwriting. His seventh studio album, Lost Americana(2025), demonstrates this shift — the singles “cliché” and “vampire diaries” show his embrace of pop-rock hooks while retaining rap-based vocal flow. The tour itself is expansive, covering multiple legs across North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, enabling MGK to bring both his rock-influenced material and his hip-hop roots into large-scale live settings.
Wiz Khalifa: https://wizkhalifa.com — Wiz Khalifa supports the tour with a sound grounded in hip-hop, boom-bap and rap-pop, layered with his trademark relaxed delivery and themes of lifestyle, celebration and self-expression. Critics consider his genre placement within mainstream hip-hop but note his willingness to incorporate melodic hooks, relaxed flows and crossover appeal. His 2025 release Kush + Orange Juice 2 revisits his earlier mixtape style — laid-back beats, youthful bravado and party-centric lyrics — while updating it with modern production polish and guest features. On this tour he brings both his rap credentials and his live energy, complementing the headliner with a confident supporting slot.
DE’WAYNE: https://yeahdewayne.com — DE’WAYNE opens the show with a sound most critics define as a genre-defying blend: rock, pop, funk and alternative elements combine in his work, creating a modern soulful rock aesthetic. The 2025 album June draws praise for integrating rock-n-roll grit, funk rhythms and pop-structured songwriting: one reviewer described it as “equal parts funk and punk, pop and rock, a genre-defying sizzler.” With June, DE’WAYNE moves fluidly between guitar-centric rock grooves and soulful melodic passages, and on this tour his set is positioned to engage the audience with high-energy instrumentation and emotional clarity.
