G-Dragon to Bring ‘Übermensch' Tour to U.S. and Europe
Well, he said he would be back.
After a headlining performance at Head in the Clouds Los Angeles last month (which marked his first U.S. performance since 2017), G-Dragon has announced U.S. and Europe dates for his ongoing Übermensch tour. The newly announced leg includes shows at both Newark, New Jersey's Prudential Center and Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, venues he's returning to for the first time since BIGBANG's MADE tour 10 years ago, in addition to stops in Las Vegas and Paris.

Throughout his career, G-Dragon has pushed boundaries and cemented himself as an influential cultural force not just in music but in fashion, visual arts, and philanthropy. 'This isn't just a concert — it's my next chapter. I've grown, changed, and challenged myself in ways I never imagined,' he shares exclusively with Rolling Stone. 'I want my fans to feel every second of that transformation live on stage together.'
The Übermensch tour began in late March, roughly a month after the release of G-Dragon's latest album of the same name. Launching with two sold-out shows at Seoul's Goyang Stadium, the tour has since made its way across Asia — selling out nearly every stop along the way. His latest stop was three shows in Macau, one of which was added due to demand. Although the tour centers on his latest album, fans can expect a setlist that spans across G-Dragon's solo career.
G-Dragon has been dropping dates and venues in different phases, with the first phase covering Japan, the Philippines, Macau, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong, and the second phase consisting of Australia and Thailand just weeks ago. 'I'M COMING HOME,' he wrote on Instagram when sharing the dates for the first announcement.
With just a few U.S. dates on the schedule as of now, ticket demand is expected to be high. Tickets for the new shows will go on sale on June 27 at 10 a.m. local time via the tour's official website with a special presale for fans via G-Dragon's official fan community on June 25. The new leg of the tour is produced by Galaxy Corporation and AEG Presents, with Infinite Prospects Entertainment as the local promoter.

Noted Machine Gun Kelly Fan Bob Dylan Narrated MGK's New Album Trailer
In the spiritual sequel to his legendary 2004 Victoria's Secret commercial, Bob Dylan has provided narration for a new trailer announcing Machine Gun Kelly's next album, Lost Americana. 'Lost Americana is a personal excavation of the American dream — a journey to find what's been lost,' Dylan drawls in the short clip. He goes on to describe the album as 'a love letter to those who seek to rediscover' and 'a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention, and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom.' More from Rolling Stone Joan Baez on America Under Trump: 'It Feels Like Torn Fabric' Troubadour Eric Andersen on New Album and Why 'A Complete Unknown' Was a Tad 'Sugarcoated' It's the Perfect Time For a Pulp Reunion Dylan's narration is accompanied by a montage of home movie footage of MGK and friends, including some shots of the musician riding a motorcycle decked out in a custom Lost Americana biker jacket. There's a snippet of music, too, at the end of the clip, a wild synth arpeggio that jumps out after Dylan says: 'From the gold neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces. Where the past is reimagined and the future is forged on your own terms.' Along with sharing the trailer, MGK said Lost Americana would arrive Aug. 8. The album will be his first in three years, following 2022's Mainstream Sellout. MGK has yet to reveal the full track list for Lost Americana, but the album will feature his recent single, 'Cliché.' 'Cliché' is actually one of several songs MGK has dropped this year, along with 'Your Name Forever,' 'Come Pick Me Up,' and a cover of the Goo Goo Dolls' 'Iris' with Julia Wolf. It's unclear if any of these songs will also appear on the album. As for Dylan's involvement in the trailer, it comes after the legendary singer-songwriter posted, seemingly out of nowhere, a video of MGK rapping on his Instagram earlier this year. Even MGK was astounded, revealing he learned of Dylan's post while discussing with friends some of his concerns and reservations about his next album. 'Just the originator of doing everything opposite of what people wanted him to do, randomly posting a video of me back in the day rapping in a vinyl shop,' MGK said. 'I'm just like, 'What the fuck?' Just trust the signs, man. That was so cool. I'm so grateful.' For those looking for some insight into the ever-mysterious movements of Dylan's taste and artistic predilections, who crave some explanation for how he even became aware of Machine Gun Kelly in the first place, Dylan scholar Ray Padgett shared a theory on Bluesky that is as hilarious as it is believable. 'All because the dude has the same name as an old gangster Bob was googling. What a ride,' Padgett wrote.

Machine Gun Kelly Jokes He Got Bob Dylan to Do His Album Trailer Through ‘Pure Desperation'
Machine Gun Kelly has officially confirmed the obvious — that it was Bob Dylan narrating his recent album announcement trailer. But in Dylan-esque fashion, MGK declined to give a straight answer as to how the collaboration came about. When asked point blank about Dylan's cameo on Today, MGK quipped, 'A magician never reveals his secrets.' He then continued with something resembling an answer, but still clearly jokey: 'Pure desperation. Just knocking on his door relentlessly, not going away.' More from Rolling Stone Joan Baez on America Under Trump: 'It Feels Like Torn Fabric' Noted Machine Gun Kelly Fan Bob Dylan Narrated MGK's New Album Trailer Troubadour Eric Andersen on New Album and Why 'A Complete Unknown' Was a Tad 'Sugarcoated' That's not to say Machine Gun Kelly wasn't extremely grateful for Dylan's contribution to the Lost Americana trailer. 'I have been blessed with… I don't know, maybe it's just one pioneer seeing something that I am doing that, in the long term, will be looked back [at] and be understood,' MGK said, before quickly adding: 'Not calling myself a pioneer, but him.' Despite not knowing many specifics, it is possible to paint a pretty broad picture of the MGK-Dylan relationship. Earlier this year, Dylan, seemingly out of nowhere, posted on a video on Instagram of MGK rapping at a record store. One (very believable) theory as to how the singer-songwriter stumbled across the clip in the first place was floated by Dylan scholar Ray Padgett, who suggested on Bluesky, 'All because the dude has the same name as an old gangster Bob was googling.' Then in May, evidence emerged of an in-person meeting when MGK attended the Los Angeles stop of Willie Nelson's Outlaw Festival Tour, which Dylan is a part of. The day after the show, MGK tweeted not-so-cryptically, 'i met and had a conversation with someone last night that i never thought i'd get the honor to meet all because of a video of me rapping in a music store 10 years ago. i love music.' MGK released the Lost Americana trailer earlier this month. The clip features a montage of home movie-style footage, with Dylan delivering koans such as, 'Lost Americana is a personal excavation of the American dream — a journey to find what's been lost' and, 'From the gold neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces. Where the past is reimagined and the future is forged on your own terms.' Lost Americana is set to arrive Aug. 8. The album marks MGK's first in three years following 2022's Mainstream Sellout. The musician has yet to reveal the full track list for the album, but it will feature his recent single, 'Cliché.'
