Set to arrive later this year for the inaugural Strummingbird festival, US star Jelly Roll has now announced debut Australia and New Zealand headline shows.
The Tennessee songwriter has today confirmed arena shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland for October.
Jelly Roll will also be joined by fellow Strummingbird act, Shaboozey, and Drew Balbridge.
Jelly Roll’s long-rumoured Aussie visit was inadvertently confirmed by his wife, Dumb Blonde podcast host Bunnie Xo, who revealed in a recent episode that “J is going to Australia for four weeks” after wrapping his European tour. That tour ends in mid-September, lining up neatly with Strummingbird’s early-November shows.
Further signs came via social media, where fans spotted Meta ads for a Jelly Roll VIP experience in Australia popping up across regional Queensland in recent weeks, including mentions of Townsville and Rockhampton.
Earlier this week, Jelly Roll fought Logan Paul as part of the WWE’s SummerSlam event. The fight, which was set up over a month ago on Smackdown and was heavily promoted since then, marked Jelly Roll’s first official match as a wrestler after making a handful of appearances at WWE events over the past year. The musician ultimately lost the fight after Paul dropped his signature move the “Paul from Grace.”
On Friday, Jelly Roll will share a new collaboration with Marshmello titled “Holy Water.” The pair have been teasing the song, which sounds like a mix of dance and country, on social media for the past week.
