Machine Gun Kelly kicked off his Mainstream Sellout tour at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas on June 9, 2022. The sold out show featured openers Iann Dior and Blackbear. Kelly’s wife Megan Fox also made an appearance sending concertgoers in floor seats towards the soundboard trying to capture an image or video of the actor.
After a brief pre-recorded intro, a helicopter began circulating on the ceiling in the Moody Center. It stopped near the soundboard to pick up Kelly who appeared from a “box” in the ground. As Kelly ascended into air, he sang “Born With Horns” as concertgoers shrieked with excitement and fumbled to get a video of the iconic moment. The pink helicopter soared Kelly above the crowd before dropping him off at the stage center. He joined the rest of his band to perform “God Save Me.” The band performed on a slanted stage with a set full of pyrotechnics and fog. Kelly went on to perform songs including “Concert for Aliens,” “Paper Cuts,” “WW4,” “Bloody Valentine,” “Emo Girl,” and “Kiss Kiss.” The night ended with the performance of “Twin Flame.”
