Jelly Roll ‘Backroad Baptism’ tour 2023: Tickets, dates, prices

Jelly Roll is on a roll.

First, the crossover country-rap star’s hit single “Son of a Sinner” hit number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in January 2023.

Now, riding that wave of momentum, he’s announced his massive ‘Backyard Baptism Summer Tour’ that will send him to amphitheaters, county fairs, festivals and arenas all over North America from May through August.

Midway through the run, Jelly Roll’s ‘Backyard Baptism’ will dip into Darien Center, NY’s Darien Lake Performing Arts Center on Aug. 3.

But wait! There’s more!

Jelly Roll won’t be going it alone on this tour.

He’ll be joined by special guest country stars Ashley McBryde, Chase Rice, Elle King, rappers Merkules, Struggle Jennings, Three 6 Mafia, Yelawolf and comedian Josh Adam Meyers on select dates.

“Don’t miss it when this circus comes to your town,” Jelly Roll shared on Instagram.

And if you want to run away with Jelly Roll’s circus, you can grab tickets as early as today.

Jelly Roll new album

The versatile 38-year-old recently spilled to Music Mayhem that this debut country album is “coming in April or May of 2023.”

“I’m really proud of it. I’m going to have some features on it. It’s a country record for sure,” he continued.

“I think ‘Son of a Sinner’ was just kind of showing people what I could do, but we also got some real kind of rock records on there…and we’ll have a couple of songs where I’m spitting a little bit too. So it’s still true to Jelly Roll for sure.”

In the meantime, you can listen to the album’s expected lead singles, “Need A Favor” and “She” here.
