An unorthodox country star is returning to an Alabama venue where he had to contend with lightning during a previous visit.
Jelly Roll announced dates for a “Little Ass Shed Tour” Monday. Among the 11 dates is stop at the Wharf Amphitheater in June. That makes him part of a growing spring-summer lineup at the venue, which has conspicuously big plans for Memorial Day weekend.
Jelly Roll’s “Little Ass Shed Tour” dates span from May 28 to July 22. They’re scattered among other dates, including the “Big Ass Stadium Tour” with Post Malone. As previously reported, that show comes to Birmingham’s Protective Stadium May 26.
The Wharf show takes place June 2. It will feature special guest Kashus Culpepper. General ticket sales begin at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 27, through Ticketmaster.
The artist headlined a show at the Wharf Amphitheater in 2023. On that occasion, stormy weather forced a delay and the evacuation of the 10,000-seat venue. At the time, Jelly Roll said the experience was unprecedented in his career.
