What are you three favorite mgk albums and three favorite songs?

As the title says.

For me it’s Fuck It mixtape, Bloom, Hotel Diablo

Songs, at least at this moment, Come Pick Me Up cover, Crash First, and I tend to listen to Can’t Stay Here a lot lately.

MGK / Primark Collab

Love this new top! Young Blud has had clothes in Primark for a while so I hoped MGK would come soon. Anyone else bought this yet?

Fan mail / P.O box?

Hi all! I graduate this upcoming year and I wanted to mail a letter to mgk thanking him for his influence in my life, etc. (I've seen other people online do this with companies and other celebrities) I was wondering if anyone has done this or if anybody knew of an address I could mail it to? Ive googled it and gotten a few different ones so I was hoping someone might have a more accurate answer! Thanks a million in advance XX!

mgk visited the Harajuku pop-up and delivered a message to Japanese fans.

"I'm back in Japan. It's been 7 years since my last stage. I'm here at the limited pop-up by mgk, which has specially prepared merchandise just for this beautiful country. The EST bandana is classic, so I'm not changing it much. But this time, I've designed it with a special design that includes the Japanese flag. It's a big respect for Japan and its culture. Sorry for the dirty words, I love Japan and its crap so much!"

mgk visited the venue on the first day of the pop-up on August 12, 2026, along with their eldest daughter, Casie.

EST is the fan name of mgk, which means "Everybody Stands Together". The white EST Tokyo bandana is available at the Harajuku pop-up, and the black EST Festival bandana is sold at the Summer Sonic venue.

mgk visited his Tokyo pop-up store to deliver a special message to his Japanese fans:
“Japan, I'm back. It's been 7 years since I touched the stage here. We are at the exclusive mgk pop-up right here with a special line of merch just for this beautiful country. I rarely tamper with the design of the EST bandana. It's very classic, but I did a special one just based off of your flag. I put the red sun right there out of a massive respect I have for this culture and this country. Sorry for cussing, Japan. I f- love you!”

mgk made an appearance at the store on August 12, 2026, the pop-up’s opening day, accompanied by his eldest daughter, Casie Baker.

"EST," which stands for "Everybody Stands Together," is the name of mgk's fandom. The white "EST Tokyo Bandana" is available exclusively at the Harajuku pop-up, while the black "EST Festival Bandana" is being sold at the Summer Sonic venue.

mgk’s first-ever Tokyo pop-up store is officially open through August 23 on the 3rd floor of UNIVERSAL MUSIC STORE HARAJUKU. The store features a wide lineup of Japan-exclusive official merch, including T-shirts, hoodies, hats, bandanas, socks, stickers, and postcards.

Unpopular opinion - An MGK show with no phones allowed.

Some of my favorite MGK shows were when I was fully submersed into the show - a couple of times I had actual tears down my cheeks.

I feel like when you record the whole show / focus so heavily on getting “the perfect shot” for social media - it takes away the connection you could be experiencing with Kells - any artist for that matter. It also then doesn’t allow our short kings / queens to SEE.

I understand capturing your favorite parts to certain songs or a few photos - but the ENTIRE CONCERT with a phone in front of your face or above your head.

Maybe I’m just getting old - but I feel as if a “no phones allowed” concert would be much more enjoyable for everyone, including MGK. He wants to see our faces & smiles. Not our phones.

Tell me your favorite mgk song

It's always fun when artist subreddits do these and I haven't seen one for the mgk subreddit (my favorite artist always) and wanted to be the one to rate :)

Can be anything including old mixtape songs, I've heard everything from mgk more than a hundred times (factually, according to my lastfm) so go for whatever!

MGK Day '26

Overall, MGK Weekend was a blast. The venue was actually pretty damn good whether people want to admit it or not, and $40 to see Kells and Wiz in 2026 is still a steal compared to normal shows. However, aside from the obvious piss poor planning (security, lines, water, way too much of an oversell, etc) there's just a couple things I'd change:

  1. Hire some local artists to get main stage going a bit earlier. There's a great music scene here and i got bored to death waiting for music to start.

  2. FAMILIES--Please do NOT fucking camp near the stage then complain when people are dancing/raging or stepping on your precious little blanket. If you wanna do that, go to the back and let us have fun.

  3. I don't know if this is true or not, but apparently the reason they started later because of a wedding-so if you're the bride or groom from that night, FUCK YOU!

Still had a great time during the show and the skateboard competition though!

First and Last MGK Day

History: Have seen MGK three times at three different venues, this made four. Have seen 200+ bands live so have experienced all kinds of concert craziness but today was one of the most poorly run events I've ever experienced.

1hr+ to get in because so few security lanes were open and they created a choke point with the t-shirt booth feet away from security. Watched multiple people go in without being scanned. Tshirts ran out which makes no sense when they had counts on preorder and weren't selling them. 30+ min wait for toilets. Every vendor we went to had run out of water and the public refill stations ran out. Finally got water after waiting in two separate lines.

Shout out to all the out of staters we met in line from NJ/WI/IN. Sorry, we usually handle stuff better in the CLE.

Summary: Took three hours total to get in, go to the bathroom, and get water (while sorta being able to see Wiz perform while in lines). MGK went on for ~40 min before heavy rain and wind stopped things. This should be hosted at a proper permanent venue equipped to deal with this volume of people.
