“Since then, he’s been soaring to the top of the rock and country charts,” Jones said. “Our team is very excited to bring him back.”
In 2023, Jelly Roll won the CMA Entertainer of the Year Award, the CMT Music Video of the Year Award, and the 2024 People’s Choice Award for Favorite Male Country Vocalist. His song “Son of a Sinner” also won three CMT Awards.
“The best way to describe Jelly Roll music is that it’s authentic,” Jones said. “Even if you’re not a big fan of his mix of rock, rap and country, you’ll resonate with the lyrics and pain in some of his songs.”

In July of this year, the Midland County Fairgrounds moved from its original location in Auburn to central Michigan to become the venue for the nationally touring Tailgate n’ Tallboys Music Festival. The Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce alleges that on June 5, the chamber fraudulently transferred 20 acres of property to the Auburn YMCA. The concert venue was moved to Midland and the community’s annual Corn Festival was canceled.
Concert with Bailey Zimmerman on July 28, 2023 6,000-7,000 tickets sold. The July 29 concert with Yung Gravy sold 4,000-5,000 tickets. Although camping tickets are available, only 35 spots are used.
