Jelly Roll recently traveled over 8,000 miles to play his first-ever shows in Australia for The Down Under 2025 Tour. This was a huge moment because he had just finished playing in giant stadiums in America with Post Malone. Even though he is a global star now, this trip was very hard for him. He had to fly alone and stay in quiet hotel rooms, which made him feel very sad.
While talking at a small show at The Espy in Melbourne for Nova’s Red Room, the singer finally stopped hiding his pain. He opened up about his tour. He looked at the crowd and told them he woke up feeling not okay. Usually, he is the one helping fans feel better, but this time he was the one hurting. He shared how, throughout the tour, he was physically sick and felt very lonely without his family.
It’s okay not to be okay
Fans who were there said the energy in the room was unlike anything they’d ever experienced. One girl who stood very close said she yelled that they loved him, and his face showed how much that meant to him. Another person said his music saved them after they lost a brother.
Even though he felt like falling apart, he did not cancel his shows. He continued his tour in different parts of Australia. He had a massive show in Sydney.

Fans recorded his entire shows because his lyrics felt like a warm hug to them. He performed his fan favourites like “Save Me,” “Hard Fought Hallilujah,” and many more. Each person in the stadium could be seen having fun as Jelly sang.
