Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, Chris Stapleton, Tucker Wetmore to Perform at EA Sports’ Madden Bowl
Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, Chris Stapleton and Tucker Wetmore will lead a night meshing music and sports, when they spearhead EA Sports Presents Madden Bowl at the Orpheum Theater on Friday, Feb. 7, with the concert happening just two days prior to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. The show will also feature an appearance by Trombone Shorty with the New Breed Brass Band.
Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” reigned supreme this year, logging 19 non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, while Jelly Roll also reached new chart heights this year, notching his first all-genre Billboard 200 debut with his album Beautifully Broken. Stapleton continued to cement his status as a reliable hitmaker and award winner, earning CMA Awards accolades and seeing his song “White Horse” reach No. 2 on the Country Airplay chart. Newcomer Wetmore’s “Wind Up Missin’ You” has risen to No. 2 on the Country Airplay chart, and follows his breakthrough hit “Wine into Whiskey.”
“EA SPORTS is a cornerstone of Super Bowl Week, and on Friday at Super Bowl LIX we’re bringing together fans, music, athletes, esports, and Madden in an unforgettable celebration of football,” John Reseburg, VP, Marketing, Partnerships, and Communications for EA SPORTS, said in a statement. “New Orleans is one of the greatest and most passionate sports cities in the world, and with a line-up including Chris Stapleton, Jelly Roll, Shaboozey, and more, this is going to be an absolutely electric night at EA SPORTS Presents Madden Bowl.”
“2024 was an unforgettable year for me with a lot of highs, including performing at a NFL halftime show on Thanksgiving,” Shaboozey said in a statement. “Now I can’t wait to keep the party going with EA SPORTS and football fans from all over at Madden Bowl.”
Last year’s Madden Bowl, which was held in Las Vegas, featured artists and bands including Big Boi and Killer Mike, Breland, and Green Day.
Super Bowl LIX will be held at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Feb. 9.
