    Former Machine Gun Kelly rapper mgk to hit Dallas on summer '26 tour

    Mgk, the rapper/singer formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly, is hitting the road with The Lost Americana Tour, a massive journey around the world that will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Sunday, May 24, 2026.

    The visit to Texas - which also includes stops in Austin on May 22 and The Woodlands on May 23 - will be part of the second North American leg of the tour, running from May 15 to July 1.

    The first North American leg starts on November 15 and runs through December 19. That will be followed by a European leg in February and March, and five dates in Australia and New Zealand in April before returning to his home continent.

    In all, mgk will travel to 66 cities over the course of almost eight months, a tour befitting his growing stature in the music business.

    He'll be joined by Wiz Khalifa on select dates, including all three Texas concerts.

    The tour is in support mgk's seventh studio album, the recently-released Lost Americana, which continues to showcase his blend of rap, rock, and alt-pop. Each of his seven albums have made at least the top 10 on the Billboard 200, with two of them going to No. 1.

    Born Colson Baker, mgk officially switched from his previous stage name of Machine Gun Kelly in early 2024. Feeling the name (also the name of a famous gangster) no longer fit him, he changed it to "infuse the artist with the human."

    Tickets for the tour will be available starting with presales on Monday, September 22. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Thursday, September 25 at 12 PM at Ticketmaster.com.

    Venerable Dallas music venue Poor David's Pub welcomes new owner

    Poor David's Pub
    Renovations underway at Poor David's Pub

    A revered live music venue in Dallas has changed hands: Poor David's Pub, which founder David Card first opened in 1977, has been taken over by Card's daughter, Amelia Card, following her father's retirement.

    According to a release, the venue at 1313 Botham Jean Blvd. is currently undergoing renovations that include updates to the interior and exterior, as well as upgraded technology, and will reopen in August.

    Rather than reinventing the historic listening room, Amelia's vision is to preserve club traditions while introducing new ways for Dallas to experience Poor David's through recurring community events, songwriter programming and opportunities to discover emerging artists.

    History
    David Card got into the bar business with an Oak Lawn bar called Bo's Place, before opening Poor David's Pub originally at 2900 McKinney Ave. before relocating to 1924 Greenville Ave. in 1983. He moved to the current location — then called Lamar Street — in August 2004.

    Over the years, the pub hosted generations of singer-songwriters and touring musicians, while becoming known for its intimate atmosphere, exceptional acoustics, and loyal community of music fans. Favorite acts included Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Townes Van Zandt, and The Chicks, who all performed at the venue early in their careers.

    Amelia Card grew up at the club, she says in a statement.

    "I've been part of Poor David's Pub since I was born," she says. "I've worked the door, bartended, waited tables, emceed shows, and performed on the stage myself. This place has always been my home. Taking over after my dad is both incredibly exciting and incredibly intimidating, but more than anything, it's an honor to continue something that means so much to Dallas."

    A singer-songwriter herself, Amelia brings a diverse background spanning hospitality, live performance, commercial production, entrepreneurship, and social work.

    Updates
    Renovations include refreshed stage design and lighting, new digital sound mixing system, green room improvements, expanded bar capabilities and beverage offerings, technology upgrades, and preservation, digitization and reinstallation of the venue's historic photo collection.

    "We're giving Poor David's a facelift, not a makeover," Amelia says. "We want first-time visitors to immediately feel the history when they walk through the doors while making sure artists and audiences have an even better experience. We never want to lose what makes this place special."

    While honoring the venue's singer-songwriter roots, her long-term vision is to expand Poor David's as a gathering place with community programming, artist meetups, and experiences that encourage people to gather around live music beyond a traditional concert night.

    "People come together, experience something meaningful and leave connected not only to the music but to each other. That's the kind of space I want Poor David's to continue being," Amelia says.

    New programming
    That will include a Happy Hour Wednesday-Friday from 4:30-6:30 pm featuring archival live recordings from historic Poor David's Pub performances, giving guests an opportunity to revisit memorable concerts.

    They'll also host performances and community events — beginning with a "Songwriters Sunday" on Sunday, August 16 with food trucks and a schedule that includes networking from 5-6 pm, singer-songwriter song swap from 6-7 pm (hosted by musicians Katharine Patterson and Remy Reilly), and open mic from 7-9 pm.

    "The future of live music depends on people showing up," Card said. "Come to shows. Buy tickets. Support artists. Independent venues only exist because communities decide they're worth preserving. My goal for this next chapter is simple: keep the doors open, stay true to our roots and make sure Poor David's is here for another 50 years."
