Chiefs star hosts event to celebrate the team’s second championship win
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, has announced the lineup for the second annual Kelce Jam music festival, set to take place next month.
Kelce is “personally inviting all of Kansas City to continue celebrating their consecutive championships and fight for their right to party” on Saturday, May 18, according to the festival’s website.
This year’s headliners are rappers Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz, who are some of Kelce’s “favorite artists in the world.” Last year’s festival featured Machine Gun Kelly and Rick Ross on the main stage.
“It was so fantastic that I had to do it again this year. I’m very excited,” said Kelce, 34, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Tuesday.
“I wanted to keep it fresh and new, so this year we asked Lil Wayne, Diplo, and 2 Chainz to come and perform.
“And, of course, we still have DJ Irie and my guy, DJ E-V, the hometown guy. We’ve got to show love to the hometown.”
He added: “It’s going to be so much fun, and I can’t wait to get back out there and celebrate with KC. It’s just a blast every time we get together to celebrate these back-to-back (Super Bowl) wins for the last time.”
Given that music is a significant part of Kelce‘s life, many are wondering if Taylor Swift will make an appearance.
However, the “Anti-Hero” singer, also 34, has a scheduled stop on her Eras Tour in Stockholm, Sweden, on the same day as the festival, so she will not be attending.
Kelce admitted that he learned a few things from Swift about putting on a great show. “Don’t try to be Taylor, that’s what I learned,” he joked.
“She’s in another stratosphere. She’s the best at what she does for a reason. It’s because she’s so eloquent and so focused on everything she does. And that’s the beauty of it.”
“I’d be a fool to try to take anything she does, apart from just enjoying the people who show up,” he added.
“I think that’s something I could probably take: she really connects with the people she performs for, so I embrace that.”
Tickets for Kelce Jam at the Azura Amphitheater range from $50 to $250 for a VIP experience. Presale registration is available at KelceJam.com, and tickets go on sale this Friday.
If you can’t attend in person, Travis will livestream the event through Kelce’s and Kelce Jam‘s social media accounts.
If you’re unable to attend the Kelce Jam Music Festival like Taylor, you’ll be able to watch the official livestream:
