KennyHoopla

From working behind the counter at the hype-wear shop August in Madison, to dating Willow Smith and collaborating with Travis Barker (who produced his new single, “Dirty White Vans”), KennyHoopla is a true success story. Enjoy a night of hard hitting emo music headlined by the Midwest native; the vibrant nature of his beautifully howled vocals and screeching instrumentals makes for an extraordinary show. With Conor, Shoobie.

$25 ($20 adv.).

media release: Igniting another season on the back of widespread acclaim and tens of millions of streams, KennyHoopla serves up a new single entitled DIRTY WHITE VANS// produced by Travis Barker and Dwilly. Watch the DIRTY WHITE VANS// tour video HERE.

On the track, airy guitar threads around a skittering beat as the hypnotic hook recalls, “I wrote the addy to the party on your dirty white vans.” Barker’s instantly recognizable production ebbs and flows with KennyHoopla’s punchy verses and chantable chorus.

Regarding the track, he commented, “Travis and I were just in the studio, and I wanted to make some rap shit to kind of show a different side of me. Dwilly and Travis made the beat. I caught a vibe and wrote to it…I’ve had that hook on my phone for years now; I’ve just been waiting for the right beat to put it on. This one fit really well, so I recorded it and it was dope.”

Next up, KennyHoopla embarks on a full-scale world tour, canvassing North America and Europe. Tonight, it rolls through Santa Ana at the Constellation Room before hitting major markets coast-to-coast and crossing the pond for a string of European shows starting June 2 in Birmingham, UK at O2 Academy 2 Birmingham. See full tour itinerary below. Tickets are available here.

It all sets the stage for more music coming soon.

Recently, Alternative Press raved, “KennyHoopla’s part of a new generation that’s redefining alternative music” and with good reason. To date, he has generated over 148 million global streams and garnered widespread acclaim. Last year, he served up Survivors Guilt: The Mixtape, perfecting his style-warping sound. Captivating audiences on the road, he toured with everyone from Machine Gun Kelly to YUNGBLUD as unanimous praise followed. Forbes christened him “One of the most exciting new rock artists in years,” and Rolling Stone dubbed him an “Artist You Need To Know.” Stereogum hailed the “genre-jumping thrills,” and Kerrang! crowned him, “The leader of pop-punk’s new generation.”

KennyHoopla will undoubtedly continue to shift the sound of rock, alternative, hip-hop, pop, and anything else he pursues with his next project due this year.
