Jelly Roll Reveals He Is Stepping Away From Touring To Heal: “My Last Show for a Year or Two”
Country star Jelly Roll has announced he is stepping back from live performing for up to two years to focus on his health, telling fans in Salt Lake City that his gig in Colorado Springs would be his final show for the foreseeable future. The break follows an extensive run that saw him headline his own Little A** Shed Tour while also joining Post Malone on the global Big A** Stadium Tour, and comes as the singer looks to prioritise recovery over his packed touring schedule.
Jelly Roll made the announcement at Rice-Eccles Stadium, thanking fans before confirming his last show would be on 30 July at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs, saying he needed "to take some time off and heal". Despite the hiatus, he revealed one ambition for 2027: to be the first act to perform at Nashville's new Nissan Stadium when it opens that spring, ahead of the Tennessee Titans' first regular-season game there and the city's hosting of the Super Bowl in 2030.
In short
- Jelly Roll is pausing touring for one to two years to heal
- His final show for now was 30 July in Colorado Springs
- He hopes to open Nashville's new Nissan Stadium in 2027
Explained simply
Jelly Roll is an American singer who blends country, rock and hip-hop, and is known for songs including “Save Me”. His rise to country stardom has brought a demanding schedule of concerts and tours.
Live tours take performers across many cities and can involve months of travel and performances. Jelly Roll has recently headlined his own tour and joined Post Malone’s stadium tour; his comments about health and recovery place his touring plans in that context.
Nissan Stadium is being built in Nashville to replace the Titans’ current home ground. Its planned opening in 2027 gives Jelly Roll a possible future milestone in his home city, even as he considers time away from touring.
