THE ANGELS — travis kelce is living his best life: On the heels of winning the Super Bowl and hosting “Saturday Night Live,” the Kansas City Chiefs The superstar tight end will cap off his successful streak with a music festival this month.
The two-time Super Bowl winner announced Tuesday that he will host his first festival, called “Kelce Jam,” during the NFL draft weekend. The inaugural event will take place on April 28 at the Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas, a Kansas City metropolitan area.
The event will feature performances by Machine Gun Kelly, Rick Ross, DJ duo Loud Luxury and Kansas City Tech rap legend N9ne.
“With the draft coming to KC, I think it’s the perfect time to host the biggest music festival to ever come here,” said Kelce, who believes the festival could attract around 15,000 attendees. “We’ll have some unreal stage productions, the best food in Kansas City, tons of football-related rides and games. It’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Kelce said he is capitalizing on his growing popularity after the Chiefs beat the philadelphia eagles at Super Bowl LVII in February. Last month, he hosted “Saturday Night Live” and co-hosts a burgeoning podcast with his brother, jason kelcewho plays for the Eagles.
Right now, Kelce is enjoying “every bit” and is ecstatic about his upcoming music festival.
“Every door that has been opened by winning the Super Bowl, I’ve been running for it,” he said. “It won’t stop anytime soon, especially with Kelce Jam. I think this will be the nail in the coffin for the 2022 season.”
Kelce said he wanted to bring in some of his favorite artists, including Machine Gun Kelly, who is an Ohio native like him. He was inspired to organize his own music festival after attending four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski’s Gronk Beach during the NFL draft in Las Vegas last year.
“I took note of what Gronk did last year,” he said. “I want to throw a big party knowing the draft is coming to Kansas City. It’s a special event for the city to host…I’m going to need Kansas City to come out and be electric with me.”
