The Ohio rapper and singer (real name Colson Baker) released the record on September 25, 2020, marking his fifth full-length effort.
Yesterday, MGK marked a half-decade of ‘Tickets To My Downfall’ by posting its official cover artwork on social media. In the caption, he wrote: “5 years ago pop punk came back to life.”
He then told fans that he would be “celebrating the 5 year anniversary of this album” throughout the remainder of 2025 – having dropped his latest LP, ‘Lost Americana’, last month.
“We have 5 unreleased songs from that era being mixed rn [right now] to release asap, a coffee book of BTS [behind-the-scenes] from the recording process, merch, a tour, and more,” MGK continued.
“‘TICKETS TO MY DOWNFALL’ I LOVE YOU 🎟️.” Check out the post here:
NME described ‘Tickets To My Downfall’ as “a love letter to all things punk rock” in a four-star review, adding: “The self-aware title knows that this move is a risk but the confidence in painting that target on his own back is also what makes this record so brilliant.”
The album reached Number Three in the UK, and peaked at Number One on the US Billboard 200. MGK followed up the project with 2022’s ‘Mainstream Sellout’.
The star’s huge ‘Lost Americana’ tour is due to kick off in November, with dates in the UK, North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The UK leg includes a show at The O2 in London in March. Find any remaining tickets here.
MGK enlisted Bob Dylan to narrate a trailer for his latest album earlier this year. Over the summer, he joked that he had “no idea” how the team-up came about. He had previously said the collab emerged from “pure desperation” and by “just knocking on [Dylan’s] door relentlessly, not going away”.
Elsewhere, MGK said he thought he could be part alien and wasn’t sure whether his age “exists” or not.
