MGK-channeling TikTok sensation Jxdn plays St. Pete on Monday

My heart kinda sank when I learned that one of the newest faces of pop-punk—if you want to call it that—is only a few months older than me.

TikTok sensation Jxdn (pronounced “jayden”) clearly takes inspiration from his buddy Machine Gun Kelly—who he actually opened for in 2021—and his only album Tell Me About It Tomorrow features songwriting credits from MGK, as well as members of blink-182 and The Used.

The 21-year-old makes his Tampa Bay debut with support from Beauty School Dropout (the alt-rock band, not the “Grease” song).

Tickets to see Jxdn play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Monday, April 3 are still available and start at $26.50.
