According to a statement from the NFL announcing the gig, MGK will perform his country-rap tune “Lonely Road” — an homage to John Denver’s beloved Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit “Country Roads” — a tune German NFL fans rally around each season. The performance will also feature some of Kelly’s most beloved hits and will be shown live on RTL in Germany, as well as on the NFL’s World Feed.
U.S. fans can see highlights of the halftime show on the NFL Network, with the whole performance slated to post across the league’s social channels after the game. “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Machine Gun Kelly to the stage as the halftime performer for the 2024 NFL Game in Munich – capping off an incredible season of international games with a performance from one of the most dynamic talents in music today,” said Tim Tubito, the NFL’s director of event and game presentation in a statement. “We’re always striving to deliver world-class entertainment that resonates with our international fans, while also embracing local culture. And what better way to celebrate the passionate fans in Germany than with a modern take on one of their favorite gameday anthems?”
The last-place NFC East Giants (2-5) will play the last-place NFC South Panthers on Nov. 10 at 3:30 p.m. local time (9:30 a.m. ET) at Allianz Arena.
MGK recently brought out Lainey Wilson during his Sept. 24 show at Nashville’s Skydeck on Broadway in the midst of the rapper-turned-rocker-turned-country crooner’s Southern rock pivot, where the two performed “Lonely Road”; the recorded version features Kelly singing alongside Wilson’s labelmate, Jelly Roll.
