Jelly Roll to Perform Unique Show at Melbourne’s Espy Red Room

Jelly Roll’s Australian Debut at Nova’s Red Room

Jelly Roll is gearing up for his highly anticipated Australian debut this month. As part of this exciting visit, he will perform at Nova’s Red Room, presenting an exclusive show at Melbourne’s iconic Espy venue on October 30th.

An Intimate Performance

The Grammy-nominated artist, who has transitioned from rapper to country musician, will grace the stage in the renowned Gershwin Room. This performance is particularly special, as it will be attended by just 450 fans, making it a unique highlight of his inaugural Australian tour. Hosted by Jase & Lauren from Nova 100, the show promises to deliver the exhilarating, sing-along atmosphere that Jelly Roll is famous for.

Tour Highlights

This performance coincides with his debut Australian headline tour, featuring stops in Brisbane (October 24th), Melbourne (October 28th–29th), and Sydney (November 4th). Following these shows, he will also headline the first Strummingbird Festival, which will take place in various locations, including the Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, Perth, and Townsville.

Musical Success

Born Jason DeFord, Jelly Roll has emerged as one of the music industry’s most remarkable crossover talents. His latest album, Beautifully Broken, debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Country Albums charts, fueled by hits such as “I Am Not Okay,” “Liar,” and “Heart of Stone.”

A Landmark Year for Nova’s Red Room

2025 has proven to be a significant year for Nova’s Red Room, featuring performances from artists like Daniel Seavey, Calum Hood, and Ricki-Lee. Earlier this year, the network also hosted a successful Red Room Global Tour in Las Vegas, where Jelly Roll gave fans an early glimpse of what to expect in Melbourne.

“2025 has been an exciting year so far for Nova’s Red Room,” said Brendan Taylor, Group Programming Director at Nova Network. “Having Jelly Roll on his debut tour of Australia is an incredible privilege. It showcases the unique connection Nova’s Red Room creates between fans and artists.”

Exclusive Ticket Access

Tickets for this exclusive event are not available for purchase; the only way to attend is by winning them through the Nova Player or by tuning into shows like Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel, Ben, Liam & Belle, or Jase & Lauren on Nova 100.
