The "Save Me" singer is still in the middle of his Big A-- Stadium Tour with Post Malone, but took a break to headline the Music City Rodeo at the Bridgestone Arena. There, he announced that Nashville won't see him on stage for a while.
A fan recorded him as he paused the music to address the crowd directly. After admitting that he'd get in trouble for announcing the news, he said, "this will be my last Nashville show until 2027."
The crowd was appalled with the news. Jelly Roll has taken Nashville by storm in the past year, so to hear that you're suddenly in attendance of his last show until 2027 must have been quite the shock. Of course, this won't be final performance till then in general, just for Nashville.
He isn't abstaining from Music City for the sake of it, he has a plan.
Why Jelly Roll Won't Perform In Nashville Until 2027
"Hear me out though," he said, cutting through the upset. "Because I need y'all's help."
"I want to be the first act to play Nissan Stadium when it opens in the spring of 2027."
So, Jelly Roll won't be performing in Nashville until 2027, as he wants to be the first act for the Nissan Stadium when it opens for the NFL season.
"I never thought I would make it here," he said over the support. "I never thought we would sell the Bridgestone out. We've sold the Bridgestone out three times now, two times in the last five months."
"In 2027, Nissan Stadium, please let the local boy live a dream and open up the new stadium, let me be the first to play it, baby! Let the local boy do it, baby! I've been a f--king life-long Titans fan. Let me play Nissan Stadium, y'all!"
"Woooo sorry, that's crazy but I gotta speak it into existence, I believe in Nashville... if all of y'all brought a friend, we could do it. If you brought a friend, we could do it! Thank y'all for everything."
