KELLY, BRIDGERS START 2021 ON SNL

Alternative buzz acts Machine Gun Kelly and Phoebe Bridgers are tapped to launch SNL's 2021 slate, along with "S.O.B." singer Nathaniel Rateliff. Bridgers is up for four Grammys this year, including Best New Artist, Best Alternative Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance. Her critically acclaimed 2020 album, Punisher (Dead Oceans), topped year-end lists.

MGK landed one of 2020's biggest rock debuts with Tickets to My Downfall (Bad Boy/Interscope), which debuted at #1 in Setpember with 126k and is still in the HITS Top 50.
