STATE COLLEGE — Multi-genre hit making entertainer Jelly Roll recently revealed details of his Beautifully Broken Tour 2024 run. Produced by Live Nation, the arena tour marks the Nashville native’s biggest headlining tour to date and includes a stop at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Tickets go on sale on Friday, March 1, at 10 a.m.
Grammy-nominated Jelly Roll debuted Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and No. 2 on the Top Country Album charts with his debut country album, “Whitsitt Chapel.” The album won the artist three awards at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, Billboard’s 2023 Breakthrough Award and the People’s Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year. He was also nominated for Best New Artist and Best Duo/Group Performance for “Save Me” (with Lainey Wilson) at the 2024 Grammy Awards, along with eight genre-spanning nominations at the 2024 iHeartRadio Radios.
The Beautifully Broken Tour will feature two openers, Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay.
Zeiders hails from Hershey and was just 22 years old when he signed his first recording contract with Warner Records’ Los Angeles office. The second song he had ever written, “Ride the Lightning,” exploded overnight into the social consciousness of young country music fans.
After the now-platinum “Ride the Lightning” album’s success, Zeiders released a string of rocking but heartfelt tracks on his own 717 Tapes platform. The raucous track on the album “One Hell of an Angel” led People Magazine to surmise “Warren Zeiders is a wild horse who sings about the truth.” That momentum continues with his debut album, “Pretty Little Poison.” Delivered on the heels of his 717 Tapes releases and compilation album — a collection of stripped-back singles and EP songs that introduced his powerhouse voice and sharp songwriting — “Pretty Little Poison” repositions him as Nashville’s newest headliner at just 24 years of age. To date, Zeiders has amassed over 1.8 billion global audio streams, is consistently selling out venues across the country and is working on new music for his ever-growing legion of fans.
Kay kindles a profound connection with listeners through her heartfelt melodies, evocative storytelling and beautifully captivating voice. Born and raised in Waterloo, Illinois, Kay found her voice as a teen, using songwriting as a vessel for self-expression and self-discovery. After two failed major record deals, and a starring role in a Netflix Original series, Kay took it upon herself to build the music career she envisioned. Since then, she has focused on cementing her status as an independent force in the industry. She has amassed over 6 million followers on social media, which has led to over 170 million streams between Apple and Spotify alone. The artist has graced the stage and collaborated with industry titans like Tim McGraw, Tracy Lawrence, Jo Dee Messina, Jelly Roll, Randy Travis, Gary LeVox and more.
In October 2023, Kay dropped her debut album, “All I’ve Ever Known.” The independently released project spent multiple weeks in the No. 1 spot on the iTunes country charts, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes All Genre and in the top 10 on multiple Billboard charts. Her heart-wrenching ballad “Everleave” from her debut project has gained tens of millions of views on social media and is currently in rotation on Sirius XM’s The Highway. With what has been described as a “Taylor Swift-esque” fan base, Kay sold over 50,000 tickets to her headline shows in 2023 alone. 2024 is gearing up to be her biggest year yet, with a wide range of main-stage performances at the largest festivals in country music, multiple headline runs and the inception of her sophomore album.
