Jelly Roll Envisions Country Music Super Bowl Halftime Show and Dreams of Opening New Nissan Stadium

Jelly Roll has his sights set on a few major Nashville milestones, including being the first country artist to perform inside the city’s new Nissan Stadium and bringing country music to the Super Bowl halftime stage.

During a surprise appearance at SiriusXM’s The Highway Music Row Happy Hour: CMA Fest Edition, the hitmaker shared that getting to take the stage inside the brand-new stadium, which is on track to be completed by February 2027, would be a dream come true.

“For those of you all that don’t know, I am from born and raised right here in Nashville, Tennessee. I’m one of the few locals. So it is a lifelong dream of mine,” he told the show’s host, Buzz Brainard.

Jelly Roll also laid out what he believes would be the best scenario for the Super Bowl when it comes to Music City in 2030.

“While we’re daydreaming about country music in the Super Bowl, how cool would it be if they did a country music Super Bowl at Nashville?” he asked the packed crowd.

He goes on to paint a picture of exactly what he envisions this performance to look like.

“Now hear me out. The stage opens. Garth Brooks walks out. Jason Aldean walks out. Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll walk out. Kind of how they did the West Coast one when they did LA and they brought all the West Coast artists. Imagine if they took all the country artists, Ella Langley, Riley Green put us all together and let us do the Super Bowl.”

Brainard told the Antioch native that is the “best idea ever” and admitted he “can’t think of a better ambassador for country music and the city of Nashville, Tennessee, than Jelly Roll.”

While stopping by the show, Jelly Roll also performed “Need a Favor,” and teased that he has a new song and album on the way. This will mark the first set of music he has released on his own in over two years, following his tenth studio album, Beautifully Broken, which arrived in October 2024.

“I’ve got an album I’ve been working on hard for two years. It’s somewhere between being the messed up sinner I am and the man of God I’m becoming and I think it’s going to be an incredible album,” he admitted.

Fans can currently find the “Liar” singer on his Little Ass Shed Tour as well as on the Big Ass Stadium tour with my friend Post Malone.
