Jelly Roll has already sold out over four dozen arena dates nationwide on the tour supporting his just-released and most early anticipated studio album, "Beautifully Broken."

His date at Bridgestone Arena will be supported by his frequent songwriting collaborator and country chart-topping "I Went To College / "I Went To Jail" duet partner ERNEST, plus "Beautifully Broken" tour opener Alexandra Kay.

Fall 2024 started with multiple sold-out tour dates in Salt Lake City, San Jose, and Sacramento and a headlining date at Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, where Machine Gun Kelly, Wiz Khalifa and Jessie Murph all made surprise appearances.

Particularly of note, a press statement offers that those who have attended dates so far have found it to be a "spiritual experience" highlighted by elaborate production elements that culminate with his closing performance of multi-genre favorite "Save Me," which features pouring rain falling on the Antioch area native during the song's final chorus.

Will Jelly Roll could be celebrating a CMA Awards win on Nov. 26?

Nov. 26's date at Bridgestone is less than a week after the 2024's Country Music Association Awards, where Jelly Roll is nominated for four awards, including Entertainer of the Year.

"I don't want to win Entertainer of the Year. I wanna win Collab of the Year, I wanna win Event of the Year," noted the "Winning Streak" vocalist about his desire to win for his "Save Me" collaboration with Lainey Wilson in a recent Taste of Country podcast interview.

"The song changed my whole life, then went on to radio and changed my life again," he added.

However, Entertainer of the Year will be contested between 2021 and 2022's winner, Luke Combs, 2023's winner, Wilson, Stapleton (the honor's most nominated non-winner, now at eight times), three-time nominee Wallen and first-time nominee Jelly Roll.

In a recent conversation with The Tennessean, Jelly Roll doubled down on his desire to highlight not just himself but also country music overall as having a more significant pop cultural moment.

"What myself, HARDY, Beyonce?'s 'Cowboy Carter,' Cody Johnson, I know I'm forgetting some people, are doing is creating a generation of (music-defined culture) that spans from Morgan (Wallen) to Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman to Post Malone and Shaboozey," he says. "Year by year, country music, in a way that honors all of our traditions — which is important — is expanding deeper into society. You think we can't get any bigger and whether it's Beyonce? or me, we're ready to say, with love in our hearts, 'Hold my beer.'"

Jelly Roll's "Beautifully Broken" album, out Oct. 11, is the follow-up to his country debut, "Whitsitt Chapel."
