Machine Gun Kelly’s Central Park show rained out

Machine Gun Kelly’s Central Park concert on Monday was cut short due to rain and lightning.

Halfway through the punk rocker’s set at Rumsey Playfield, the park’s powers that be cut Kelly’s sound and implored attendees to exit the park “for their own safety.”

At first, fans refused to leave, chanting, “One more song!” but park authorities stood firm. 

“No one wants to do this. It’s for your own safety,” a person announced. “Please leave the park at this time. The concert is over.”

Despite the urgency to exit from management, fans lingered and booed. 

Kelly didn’t say anything further and walked off the stage. 

Before the washout, Kelly assured fans he was going to play through the lightening but joked, “Don’t get struck. That would suck for me.”

Earlier in the 90-minute performance, the “Bloody Valentine” rocker surprised fans with a performance by Mod Sun and Travis Barker, who were in town for the VMAs on Sunday. 

While Kelly was rocking out at the Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage, his girlfriend, Megan Fox, was walking the red carpet at the 2021 Met Gala. Fox stunned in a plunging red lace-up Dundas gown covered in sequins and cutouts. 

Meanwhile, Barker’s girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian, was MIA from the Met Gala.

The Poosh founder later posted video on Instagram from Barker’s set, in which he performed a cover of Paramore’s “Misery Business” and Kelly’s new single, “Papercuts.”
