Jelly Roll is Coming Back to Kansas City!
Hey, Kansas City! Grab your cowboy boots and get ready for an unforgettable night of music because Jelly Roll is making his grand return to the T-Mobile Center this Wednesday, November 13. Fresh off his highly anticipated album “Beautifully Broken” and racking up Grammy nominations for both 2024 and 2025, Jelly Roll is bringing his tour to town, and trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
A Journey to Stardom
For those who might not know, born as Jason Bradley DeFord, Jelly Roll has had quite the journey to stardom. His early life was filled with ups and downs, including a stint in jail during his teenage years due to various legal troubles. But he turned his life around and decided to dive into music. Starting off as a hip-hop artist, his early tracks were heavily influenced by iconic Southern rap groups like Three 6 Mafia and UGK. Nowadays, his sound has evolved into a unique blend of hip-hop and Nashville-style country, gaining him fans across multiple genres.
You might be surprised to learn that Jelly Roll has collaborated with some big names in the industry, including Lainey Wilson, Sam Hunt, and Wiz Khalifa. Not to forget Kansas City’s own Tech N9ne, who adds a local flavor to his powerhouse collaborations!
Special Guests Joining the Fun
This tour isn’t just about Jelly Roll, though! He’ll be joined by an exciting lineup of artists, including Ernest, Allie Colleen, and Shaboozey, who recently hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 charts with his catchy tune “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” Together, they’re sure to bring a night full of hits and good vibes!

Day of the Event Details
So what do you need to know for the concert day? Doors open at 7 p.m., but keep an eye out for updates on when Jelly Roll himself will hit the stage. If you’re a T-Mobile, Metro by T-Mobile, or MINT customer, enjoy the perk of using the expedited T-Mobile gate on Grand Boulevard!
Don’t forget, the T-Mobile Center is a cashless venue, so make sure you have a credit/debit card or a contactless payment app like Apple Pay ready. And while you won’t be facing any stringent bag-check policies, it’s a good idea to keep it light; they recommend your bag not being larger than 12” x 6” x 12”. So leave the backpacks and bulky items at home!
Parking Tips
If you’re planning to drive, downtown Kansas City has plenty of parking options near the T-Mobile Center. There’s on-site parking available in the red lot at 12th and Oak streets and the KC Live! garage, among others. Just a heads-up, prices for event parking range from $20 to $150 before fees, depending on which lot you choose. It’s a good idea to purchase your parking pass online in advance!
Remember, the streets around the venue will be blocked off, so if you’re being dropped off by a friend, family member, or ride-share, they can take you as close to the entrance at 13th and Oak as possible. Communicate with your driver to arrange a hassle-free pick-up after the concert as well!
Get Ready for a Night of Fun!
Mark your calendars, gather your friends, and prepare for an epic night filled with great music and good times. Jelly Roll and friends are coming to get Kansas City dancing! Let’s make this an unforgettable evening!
