Who Is Opening for Jelly Roll 2026? Post Malone, Carter Faith & Kashus Culpepper
Jelly Roll is doing something unusual in 2026: running two tours at the same time. On weekends he's the direct support on Post Malone's BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2, playing to 60,000-plus crowds in NFL stadiums alongside rising country artist Carter Faith. On weekdays he peels off to headline his own amphitheater run, dubbed The Little Ass Shed Tour, with Kashus Culpepper as opener. Plus a handful of festivals across the U.S. and Canada. Here's everyone playing on a Jelly Roll show in 2026.
The Two-Tour Setup
Most artists pick a lane: stadium support or headlining amphitheaters. Jelly Roll is doing both. The "Big Ass / Little Ass" naming is a wink at the size disparity, but the strategy is smart. The Post Malone stadiums put him in front of crossover pop and hip-hop fans. The Little Ass Shed amphitheaters keep his core country and rock audience close, in venues sized for an actual headlining show.
The opener bill is short but intentional. He's not rotating a dozen support acts. He's elevating two artists he's personally championed.
Carter Faith: Stadium Opener with Post Malone
Carter Faith is the opener on every BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2 date. The North Carolina-born singer-songwriter has been one of country's most-watched newcomers since signing with Sony Music Nashville. Her smoky, alt-leaning vocals and sharp lyric writing make her a different texture than the typical opener pick, which is exactly what a stadium bill stacked with Post Malone and Jelly Roll needs.
Catch her in El Paso (May 13), Waco (May 19), Baton Rouge (May 23), Birmingham (May 26), Tampa (May 29), Oxford, MS (June 5-6), Charlotte (June 9), Indianapolis (June 12), Toronto (June 16), East Hartford (June 22), Cleveland (June 25), and additional summer stadium dates.
Kashus Culpepper: The Little Ass Shed Tour Opener
Alabama-born Kashus Culpepper opens every date on The Little Ass Shed Tour. A Navy veteran turned country-soul artist, Culpepper had a breakout 2025 on the back of his viral "Man of His Word" single. His sound — gritty country with serious R&B undertones — pairs naturally with Jelly Roll's own genre-blurring catalog.
Find him in West Palm Beach (May 28), Orange Beach (June 2), Charleston (June 7), Wilmington (June 8), Virginia Beach (June 10), Grand Rapids (June 13), Saratoga Springs (June 18), Bangor (June 20), Gilford (June 21), Syracuse (June 23), and additional amphitheater dates throughout the summer.
Festival Appearances
In addition to the two tours, Jelly Roll has festival sets scheduled at:
- Dauphin's Countryfest — Dauphin, MB (June 25-26)
- Outskirts Music Festival — Saskatoon, SK (June 26), co-billed with Third Eye Blind
- Netflix Is A Joke Presents: Beautifully Broken Comedy — Greek Theatre, Los Angeles (May 8), a comedy and music hybrid show
These dates have their own lineups and are not part of either main tour.

Why This Tour Matters
The Jelly Roll story has been the rare modern crossover success: Antioch, Tennessee rapper turned country-rock star, prison-time-to-Grand-Ole-Opry redemption arc, full pardon from the state of Tennessee in 2025. The 2026 schedule is the biggest production of his career.
Pairing with Post Malone for the stadium leg also makes sense: both artists are genre-fluid, both crossed into country from outside, and both treat their setlists like a survey of American popular music rather than a single-genre exercise. Adding Carter Faith as the third name on stadium dates rounds out the bill with a younger artist representing where country is heading.
The Little Ass Shed Tour is the more intimate counterpart. Kashus Culpepper is the kind of artist who could be headlining theaters in two years, and getting him in front of a Jelly Roll amphitheater crowd this summer is a meaningful boost.
