Machine Gun Kelly is going virtual.

To mark the release of his fifth album, "Tickets to My Downfall," (out Friday) the rapper whose real name is Richard Baker is planning to livestream a pair of concerts next month.

The shows, set for Oct. 1 and Oct. 8, will be broadcast from the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California. The Oct. 1 concert will feature Kelly performing "Tickets to My Downfall" in full and the Oct. 8 performance will be of 2019's "Hotel Diablo."

Tickets for both shows go on sale Friday at midnight ET at mgk.nocapshows.com. Prices haven't been revealed.

Kelly announced the virtual concerts on Twitter Tuesday.

A number of other musicians have performed virtually during the coronavirus pandemic, which has shut down music venues across the globe. They include Pitbull, Chris Daughtry, Blake Shelton and Metallica.

"Tickets to My Downfall" features lead track "Bloody Valentine," which won Best Alternative at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. The album includes collaborations with Halsey, Trippie Redd, Iann Dior and Blackbear.
