Jelly Roll to perform pre-NFL Draft concert in downtown Detroit

The night before the NFL Draft kicks off in Detroit, country star Jelly Roll will perform at the Fillmore Detroit, promoters announced Wednesday.

Tickets for the April 24 concert go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday via Ticketmaster.

Jelly Roll, the 39-year-old performer born Jason DeFord, had a breakthrough year in 2023, and was recently nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards.

The Tennessee native played a sold-out concert at Pine Knob in August.

The NFL Draft will be held April 25-27 around Campus Martius Park in downtown Detroit and is expected to bring more than 300,000 fans to the city.
