Travis Kelce announces the return of his Kelce Jam music festival but there WON’T be a surprise appearance from girlfriend Taylor Swift
Kelce Jam, the music festival promoted by Travis Kelce, is set to make its return later this year.
The event, hosted by the Kansas City Chiefs star, has proven to not be a one-hit wonder as it will return to the Azura Amphitheatre in Bonner Springs, Kansas on May 18.
With entertainment, music, food and fun personally curated by Travis, Kelce Jam will be a 20,000+ person music festival and the perfect way for all of Chiefs Kingdom to continue celebrating their 2024 Super Bowl victory,’ an announcement stated.
It will mark the second consecutive year of the event following its inaugural success in 2023.
The tight end himself made an appearance, chugging a drink off a Lombardi Trophy replica before spiking it.
On stage, Kelce broke out into song with MGK, singing the Beastie Boys’ hit song ‘Fight For Your Right’ while the pair riled up the crowd by jumping on stage.
After an encore performance of ‘Fight For Your Right’, Rick Ross appeared and hosted a chicken wing eating challenge between a pair of Chiefs fans.
It was a continuation of the celebrations for the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory after defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35, and, if his drunken display at Kansas City’s parade for this year’s win is anything to go by, Kelce could be set for yet more antics at his Kelce Jam.
Kelce delivered a drunken rendition of ‘Friends In Low Places’ at their Super Bowl parade – after the Chiefs’ dramatic 25-22 overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers – hilariously butchering the custom lyrics he had penned to mock the Niners.
A boozy Kelce could barely speak while trying to sing Brooks’ famous 1990 song at the Chiefs’ parade, where he was held up on stage by his teammates as the celebrations clearly took their toll.

The likes of Patrick Mahomes and Chris Jones eventually stepped in to take the microphone from their worse-for-wear colleague, who had been toasting their Super Bowl triumph with a day of heavy drinking.
The lineup for this year’s Kelce Jam has yet to be announced but it’s already confirmed that his pop superstar girlfriend, Taylor Swift, won’t be performing.
The songstress will have already embarked on the European leg of her Eras Tour, with the 14-tiome Grammy Award winner slated to perform the second of three shows in Stockholm, Sweden on May 18.
However, following his hosting duties in Kansas City, Kelce could make the trip across the Atlantic to join Swift in Europe.
The tight end has reportedly already made romantic plans for a European trip with Swift while she performs throughout the continent.
The pop superstar kickstarts the Euro stint of her sold-out show in Paris on May 9 and will perform through until a final show at Wembley Arena in London on August 20.
According to The US Sun, the Chiefs star has booked hotels in Paris and Milan costing in excess of $6,000-a-night,
Swift will be in Europe for four months and Kelce could visit a number of iconic sporting venues as part of her tour, depending on how long he travels with her. NFL teams typically return to practice in early August with the season beginning in September.
In England, she plays at Premier League soccer team Liverpool’s Anfield stadium in June, as well as the San Siro in Milan and Real Madrid’s Bernabeu in Spain.
