Regarding the new EP, Kenny commented, “This capsule is just a batch of songs I made to accompany and celebrate the blink-182 tour! Some old ideas and some new. Just wanted to have fun and make music. There’s a lot of nostalgia, grief, and even hope mixed in. ‘BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT//’ just kind of represented this tour being a next level for me as an artist and how challenging it can be to live in the moment when the moment can feel unbelievable. Time flies, and there’s no more time to waste. I’m also so honored to be putting out music with Travis for a second time, especially right before I join him on blink-182’s tour.”
Kenny paved the way for the EP with the single “SABOTAGE//.” Right out of the gate, it earned widespread acclaim. Stereogum hailed it as “hard-charging,” and Brooklyn Vegan asserted, “The song embraces tons of styles–pop punk and indie rock among them–for a unique sound and blunt lyrics.”
This summer, KennyHoopla supports blink-182 for a string of dates in North America, joins Limp Bizkit for two shows in the UK, and graces the bills of major festivals on both sides of the pond.
Next up, he will embark on the RAISED BY WOLVES TOUR across North America this fall with support from Groupthink. It notably marks his first headline run since 2021. This jaunt kicks off on September 27 in Boston, MA at Paradise Rock Club, rolls through major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on November 3 in Orlando, FL at The Abbey. All tickets can be purchased HERE. See the full confirmed itinerary below.

ABOUT KENNYHOOPLA
Much like color, sound consists of different shades, hues, and textures. Individuality results from the confluence of those elements. In broad and delicate strokes alike, KennyHoopla splashes sound onto tape akin to paint on a canvas. With no style off-limits, the Ohio-born and Wisconsin-based singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist merges alternative, hip-hop, rock, indie, and pop in a melodic undertow. Upon graduating high school, he left home and moved to Madison, WI. He caught fire with “lost cause//” [feat. Jesse] in 2019, landing a deal with Mogul Vision Music/Arista Records. A year later, he served up the how will i rest in peace if i’m buried by a highway?// EP. The title track “how will i rest in peace if i’m buried by a highway?//” gathered over 55 million streams. 2021 saw him team up with the legendary Travis Barker for SURVIVORS GUILT: THE MIXTAPE// powered by the likes of “hollywood sucks//” and “estella//,” which reeled in north of 56 million streams. NME scored it “4-out-of-5” stars and asserted KennyHoopla’s “growing arsenal of anthems-in-waiting more than justifies his ascendance to the big leagues.” Between tours with MGK and YUNGBLUD, Rolling Stone championed him as an “Artist You Need To Know” and Forbes went as far as to crown him, “One of the most exciting new rock artists in years.” 2022 saw him drop DIRTY WHITE VANS produced by Barker. It piled up 11 million-plus streams and earned acclaim from the likes of OnesToWatch. Amassing over 250 million streams and inciting the applause of Rolling Stone, The FADER, HYPEBEAST, and more, he shapes an often vibrant, sometimes visceral, and always vital sound with each creative move he makes in 2023 and beyond, beginning with the appropriately titled “YOU NEEDED A HIT//”, the critically acclaimed “SABOTAGE//,” and Travis Barker produced BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS IT// EP.
