This past Friday, the Wild Ones hitmaker performed for the audience in Indio, California.
Before Eric headlined the T-Mobile Mane Stage, the music superstar played his songs in front of the crowd.
During the show, the Beautifully Broken artist brought guests T-Pain and Maddie & Tae onto the stage.
Today, Jelly Roll, 39, uploaded footage from his Stagecoach performance onto Instagram.
In the behind-the-scenes snippet, the singer showed off the tatted designs on his face as he donned a short-sleeved denim vest with a black T-shirt.
“This is my first Stagecoach! I am nervous! I am excited!” he said.
“I’m all the emotions you can feel! Let’s go, baby!”
“First Stagecoach was one for the books,” the music star captioned the post.
THE COMMENTS
In the comments section, critics slammed the country music fest for not including the star as a headliner, instead making him a “supportive act.”
“Thank God Jelly actually did a headliner-worthy performance while [Eric Church] put even the boomers to sleep!” one critic noted.

HITTING HIS GOALS
Before Jelly performed at SatgeCoach for the first time, he also celebrated two major achievements in mid-April.
During the CMA Triple Play Awards, he picked up the win for his three number 1 songs: Son Of A Sinner, Need A Favor, and Save Me.
While taking the stage, the artist showed off his slimmed-down frame.
He donned an all-black ensemble with a matching jacket, T-shirt, and pants.
Jelly completed the leather look with a backward baseball cap and a silver chain around his neck.
“This means a lot to me because if you’re a sweet old lady and you see me at the grocery store and ask me what I do for a living, I realized without hesitation that I would say ‘I’m a songwriter,'” he said
“I think it’s the most important thing I do.
“I believe songwriting is what got the platform to have these moments,” Jelly closed with.
Around the same time, the musician revealed to People that he dropped about 70 pounds.
“I’m doing two to three miles a day, four to six days a week,” he shared.
“I’m doing 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, six minutes in a cold plunge every day. I’m eating healthy right now.”
