Grammy winner Young Thug and rapper Machine Gun Kelly, who famously starred as Tommy Lee in the recent Motley Crue biopic, “The Dirt,” will forces for a tour across North America this fall. Special guests include Polo G, YBN Nahmir, Killy and Strick, who will join on select dates. 

The massive, Live Nation-produced 31-city outing will kick off September 30 in Toronto, Ontario, at the RBC Echo Beach and make stops including Atlanta, Houston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle and more before wrapping November 18 in Los Angeles at the fabled Hollywood Palladium. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com. 

Young Thug emerged on Atlanta’s hip-hop scene with his 2011 mixtape series, launching into the mainstream with his melodicism and unique vocal style. His highly anticipated new album, So Much Fun, is scheduled to release later this fall. He recently earned his highest chart placement on the Billboard Hot 100 with his latest single “The London” ft. J. Cole and Travis Scott and produced by T-Minus.

Thug was recently featured on Ed Sheeran’s song “Feels” on No.6 Collaborations Project, as well as Post Malone’s new single “Goodbyes” and on Lil Nas X’s new remix of “Old Town Road (Remix).” Thug recently launched his fashion brand Spider, which premiered during Wireless week in London earlier this month. 

Machine Gun Kelly recently released his highly anticipated fourth studio album, Hotel Diablo, on July 5.

Aside from his role in Netflix’s “The Dirt,” Kelly also appeared in the Sandra Bullock film, “Bird Box.” He was also featured on the Motley Crue track “The Dirt (Est. 1981)” which appears on the film’s soundtrack. Fans can catch MGK live when he resumes his “Hotel Diablo World Tour” in August following the annual EST Fest in Butler, Ohio.
