The singer invited nine celebrities on stage, transforming his headlining performance at the country music festival into a full-fledged jam session.
Over the weekend, Jelly Roll took over the desert alongside a star-studded group of friends!
On Saturday, April 26, the 40-year-old “Need a Favor” singer turned his headlining set at Stagecoach 2025 into a mix of a talent show and jam session, bringing out nine — yes, nine — celebrities throughout the evening, including MGK, Shaboozey, Wiz Khalifa, and Lana Del Rey.
According to Billboard, Jelly Roll kicked off the night by welcoming his friend and collaborator MGK, 35, to the main stage of the country music festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The rocker joined Jelly on stage as he sang the well-known chorus of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” before smoothly transitioning into their collaboration “Lonely Road.” Jelly then invited MGK to perform one of his biggest hits, “My Ex’s Best Friend,” as reported by the outlet.
Next up were Shaboozey, BigXthaPlug, and Jessie Murph. Shaboozey, who had performed earlier in the day, joined Jelly Roll on stage to perform their new duet “Amen” before staying on to bring BigXthaPlug into the mix, according to Billboard.
The 29-year-old “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” artist remained on stage as BigX performed “Texas,” and later left as Jelly and BigX danced together to the latter’s hit “The Largest,” as seen in TikTok footage.
Jessie Murph then took the stage to perform her collaboration with Jelly, “Wild Ones,” and shared a heartfelt hug with the headliner, captured in a fan video.
The star-studded surprises kept coming, with Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, making a cameo next, setting the stage for his next guest, singer Alex Warren, as reported by Billboard. Warren, 24, joined Jelly on stage to help the headliner express his love for Bunnie, 44, with a performance of his song “Ordinary,” and later introduced their unreleased collaboration, “Oh My Brother.”
Next, Wiz Khalifa, 37, and Brandon Lake took the stage. Khalifa joined Jelly for a performance of his hit with Snoop Dogg, “Young, Wild and Free,” along with a snippet of his classic “Black & Yellow,” according to Billboard. Shortly after, Lake, 34, joined Jelly to perform a duet of his song “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”
Just when the crowd thought the whirlwind of celebrity appearances and covers was winding down, Jelly Roll ended the night by bringing out none other than Lana Del Rey. Billboard reported that Jelly praised the 39-year-old singer before enlisting her for the final song of the set, “Save Me.”
Lana Del Rey, the “Margaret” singer, took over Lainey Wilson’s vocals in their hit duet to wrap up Jelly Roll’s performance, which followed Del Rey’s own headline-making set the day before. During her Stagecoach performance on Friday, Del Rey debuted her new song, “57.4,” in which she revealed that she once kissed country star Morgan Wallen.
Jelly Roll’s star-studded set came as no surprise, following his performance at Stagecoach the previous year, which also featured a lineup of special guests — including his 16-year-old daughter, who was serenaded with a “happy birthday” by the festival crowd.
“In about 10 days, she’ll be 16 years old… but I thought it would be a cool dad move to embarrass her by doing the old ‘Happy birthday to you,'” Jelly had joked, as the crowd picked up the song and joined in.
