Machine Gun Kelly and Travis Barker performed a surprise rooftop show in Los Angeles over the weekend – check out the footage below.

  • The NME Big Read: Machine Gun Kelly: “I’ve been jumping up and down on the table, believing in myself, for-fucking-ever”

The Ohio rapper – aka Richard Colson Baker – took to Twitter on Saturday (June 19) to direct his fans to a “rainbow lifeguard station” at Venice Beach, where he later took to the stage to perform a 13-song set.

MGK played to hundreds of people alongside his live band, which featured Blink-182‘s Travis Barker on drums. Following the impromptu set, Barker shared footage of their performance of the ‘Tickets To My Downfall’ track ‘WWIII’.
