Jelly Roll Is Petrified People Won’t Show Up To His Arena Tour

Jelly Roll announced his headlining 2024 "Beautifully Broken Tour" on his social media yesterday morning (2/22). It's what he called the "Biggest Tour Of My Life." The tour will kick off in August and go through October.

We talked with Jelly yesterday afternoon (2/22), and he admitted that he is nervous that tickets for his tour may not sell. He explained, "I was a kid that, at different stages of my life, would pass out a hundred birthday party invitations at my school and not get one RSVP. So that childhood trauma triggers just a little bit when tours go on sale."

Jelly continued, "I don't admit that publically very often, but I'll be honest: it's a thing where you're like, 'This is a birthday party nobody comes to.' I'm at Madison Square Garden, and I'm like, what the f---? It costs me money, and Live Nation boots me out and ruins my career. I'm already a dark-thought guy, so it scares me. I'm playing where the New York Knicks play. We're playing where the Atlanta Hawks play. We're playing where the Los Angeles Lakers play; you know what I'm saying? We're playing where the Grammys were. It's huge, so I was petrified."

Country music's "it" guy and hometown Nashville hero added with a laugh, "And nobody's eased my mind yet, by the way; not one person on my team has grabbed me like, 'Yo, the announcements going good.'"

Jelly looks to the back of the bar, "I'm getting a thumbs up now from my manager because I begged for it. And he could be lying to me, 'Like, quit being so honest.'"

He laughs, "Hopefully, it does good. It's just that I think the arena proper tour is the big one. That's a really big ticket, man. I did it at home, and now it's like, 'Can I do it everywhere?' That's what I'm anxious to see."

Jelly posted all the tour's dates and how fans can get tickets on his Instagram. He captioned the post in part, "I'm going to do it really, really big this year— I can't wait to see y'all at a show. Come party with us!"
