Travis Kelce Brings Back Music Festival In Kansas City With Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Diplo As Headliners

Los Angeles — Travis Kelce is keeping himself busy. After winning his third Super Bowl, receiving a Webby nomination for his podcasting endeavors, and making headlines for his newfound relationship with Taylor Swift, the superstar tight end will continue living his best life with his annual music festival next month.

On Tuesday, Travis revealed the headliners for his second annual music festival, Kelce Jam. The event will take place on May 18 and be broadcast live from the Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas, part of the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The event will feature performances from Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Diplo, and Kansas City rap veteran Tech N9ne, who played at last year’s festival.

“I like to keep it fresh, new, and keep people coming back for more,” said Kelce, whose festival attracted 20,000 people last year. He stated that his celebration will continue to honor the Chiefs’ achievement, having won their third championship in four visits after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 in February.

Kelce has succeeded both on and off the football field. He and his brother, Jason Kelce, a recent NFL retiree, received a Webby nomination Monday for their thriving podcast “New Heights.” He’s also made news for his relationship with Swift, a 14-time Grammy winner who broke the record for album of the year honors in February.

Swift is unlikely to attend Kelce Jam because she is set to perform on tour on the same day in Stockholm, Sweden. Even though she may not be present, Kelce, who has a strong stage presence, suggested he might approach Swift for advice.

“The only thing I can learn from her that translates into how I can perform is just how relatable she is on stage,” said Travis, who hosted “Saturday Night Live” last year. “She is quite comfortable. She takes everyone into the room with her. Even though every event draws 70,000 people, she creates an intimate atmosphere. It’s quite impressive.

Travis stated that safety was a top issue entering Kelce Jam following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally shooting, which killed a woman and injured almost a dozen others.

“Our hearts and hands are still out to the families, everybody involved, and everything that happened at the parade,” said Kelce, who reportedly donated $100,000 to two children who were shot at the march, and Swift donated the same amount to the family of the woman murdered in the incident.

“It’s still a touchy subject, knowing how serious it was,” he said. “We take security very seriously at Kelce Jam. “You’ll feel safe there.”

Overall, Travis expressed his desire to bring joy to a city that has embraced him and his team. He hopes his colleague and three-time Super Bowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes, can attend this time.

“I think it’s going to keep going up,” he told me. Hopefully, we’ll keep winning Super Bowls, so we’ll have something to celebrate.”
