Warped Tour kicked off their massive 30 year anniversary return run this weekend in Washington, DC, bringing the iconic punk and alt-rock festival back in full force. With a large lineup that spanned across Saturday and Sunday at RFK Stadium, headlining sets included MGK and Avril Lavigne.
MGK made his headlining set one to remember. Ahead of his performance, he posted a video reflecting on how surreal it felt to return to Warped Tour as a headlining act. That sentiment carried through to his performance, where he brought longtime collaborator and friend MOD SUN onstage for a surprise rendition of “concert for aliens” (originally featuring blackbear). The setlist offered even more surprises and live debuts, including a performance of “your name forever” for the first time, a cover of the Goo Goo Dolls’ classic “Iris,” and the debut of his brand-new single “cliché.”
Watch MGK perform alongside MOD SUN below.
