Jelly Roll & Friends Give Back to First Responders at Historic Rose Bowl Stadium Concert

Published

on

Tonight, music took center stage at the legendary Rose Bowl Stadium as Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Jelly Roll and Live Nation held A Concert for All First Responders with a historic crowd of nearly 16,000 emergency personnel, including more than 1,000 incarcerated firefighters from across California. Live Nation partnered with Jelly Roll on the special event to cover costs associated with the show and, with support from the Rose Bowl Stadium, helped produce the concert to thank wildfire first responders.

Jelly Roll shared from stage, “I want you to know that you are here tonight because you are a hero or you are a loved one of a hero. And I knew the moment I was watching this go down all the way in Tennessee in my house, I thought if I got a chance to go to California I was gonna play music to everyone who worked their ass off for the last 2 months trying to keep the rest of this place safe. Thank y’all for having me tonight – this is awesome!”

Over the 2+ hour show, Jelly Roll invited a legendary lineup of guest artists, including Nate Smith, Lainey Wilson, Shinedown, Marshmello, and Public Enemy to share the stage, creating an unforgettable 30-song setlist for the free event. The heartfelt and star-studded night included audience members from California Professional Fire Fighters, National Guard, California Conservation Corps, CDCR (incarcerated firefighters and staff), LAPD, LA Sheriff’s Department, Pasadena PD, Sierra Madre PD, Arcadia PD, Angels National Forest, Ventura Training Center, and FirstTix members along with their families.

“Music has the power to bring joy and healing, and we’re honored to partner with Jelly Roll to offer that to those who’ve served the Los Angeles community during the devastating wildfires and the rebuilding process,” said Geni Lincoln, President of California, Live Nation Concerts. 

To kick off the night, Jelly Roll performed his chart-topping hits including “Liar”, “Son of a Sinner”, current Grammy nominated hit “I Am Not Okay”, “Need a Favor”, and more. He then began to invite special guests to share the stage, surprising fans with powerful duets and surprise collaborations such as “Whiskey On You” with Nate Smith and “Second Chance” with Shinedown.
