Did not expect Dak to catch a stray at a festival. Last night, the Country Stampede festival kicked off at Azura Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas. Despite having quite a good lineup for a smaller festival, boasting Treaty Oak Revival and Zach Top as headliners and the likes of Wyatt Flores, The Wilder Blue, Tracy Lawrence and more as supporting acts, the festival was hit with a major technical difficulty early in Treaty Oak’s set on Thursday. Unlike most festivals throughout the summer, which have been cancelled due to inclement weather, night one of Country Stampede was cut short due to the city blowing a transformer, cutting off some of the power at the venue. After playing just six full songs, including the likes of “Missed Call,” “No Vacancy” and “Have a Nice Day.” At first, Treaty Oak would tell the crowd that they had to get off the stage until the issue was resolved. Shortly after, however, a festival rep would get on stage to tell the attendees that the show would be unable to proceed due to the safety risks caused by the lack of power, along with the simple fact that all elements of the set could not be powered simultaneously. @calebbroxterman60 Some bs @Treaty Oak Revival #treatyoakrevival #concerts #fypシ #treatyoak #fyp ♬ original sound – Caleb Broxterman Of course, it’s frustrating beyond frustrating, especially considering the fact that fans waited out in the rain during portions of the day and spent hours in the pit waiting for the West Texas band. And if you know anything about Treaty Oak fans, they have a reputation for getting a LITTLE rowdy during shows, not only tossing beers every which way during “Boomtown” every night but also nailing frontman Sam Canty in the face last September. Luckily for Canty and Co., only a few beers were thrown during their initial announcement of the delay. Instead, they took their frustrations out on the Dallas Cowboys’ Pro Bowl quarterback, Dak Prescott. And you might be wondering, “Why the hell is Dak Prescott catching strays at a festival in Kansas?” Well, that one’s pretty easy. A majority of the members of the band, especially Canty, are Cowboys fans. In case you missed it, they even dropped a song referencing the team on their last album, West Texas Degenerate, aptly titled “Blue Star,” which hilariously compares a failing relationship to the team’s constant playoff struggles over the last 30 years. During the delay, the crowd quickly began chanting “F** Dak Prescott” at Canty. In response, Canty would lean into it, telling the quarterback, “Pull out your phones right now on TikTok. Dak, if you’re watching this, f*** you dude.” @challancej F*ck @Dak Prescott from @Treaty Oak Revival #treatyoakrevival #countrystampede2026 #cowboys ♬ original sound – Challance Honestly, this was probably the best-case scenario during the situation for everyone other than Prescott, especially considering the antics that usually go down at a Treaty Oak concert. As a Packers fan and lifelong Cowboys hater, I can’t help but love seeing them catch a rand stray as well. “Blue Star” West Texas Degenerate Tour Dates June 26, 2026 – North Platte, NE – NEBRASKAland Days ^ June 27, 2026 – Sioux Falls, SD – Rock the Country Festival ^ July 1, 2026 – Morrison, CO – Red Rocks Amphitheatre July 8, 2026 – Chicago, IL – Windy City Smokeout ^ July 10, 2026 – St. Paul, MN – MN Country Club Festival ^ July 11, 2026 – Lincoln, NE – Pinnacle Bank Arena July 17, 2026 – Cheyenne, WY – Cheyenne Frontier Days ^ July 18, 2026 – Salt Lake City, UT – Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre July 23, 2026 – Paso Robles, CA – CA Mid State Fair July 24, 2026 – Los Angeles, CA – The Greek Theatre Aug. 7, 2026 – Des Moines, IA – Casey’s Center Aug. 8, 2026 – Oshkosh, WI – xRoads41 ^ Aug. 9, 2026 – Hastings, MI – Rock the Country Festival ^ Sept. 17, 2026 – Virginia Beach, VA – Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater Sept. 18, 2026 – Bristow, VA – Jiffy Lube Live Sept. 19, 2026 – Charlotte, NC – Truliant Amphitheater Sept. 24, 2026 – Syracuse, NY – Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview Sept. 25, 2026 – Darien Center, NY – Darien Lake Amphitheater Sept. 26, 2026 – Cincinnati, OH – Riverbend Music Center Oct. 2, 2026 – Alpharetta, GA – Ameris Bank Amphitheatre Oct. 3, 2026 – Tampa, FL – MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre Oct. 23, 2026 – Las Vegas, NV – The Theater at Virgin Hotels Oct. 24, 2026 – Phoenix, AZ – The Smoke Show ^ Oct. 29, 2026 – Corpus Christi, TX – Concrete Street Amphitheater Oct. 30, 2026 – Stephenville, TX – Melody Mountain Ranch Nov. 12, 2026 – Austin, TX – Moody Center Nov. 13, 2026 – Houston, TX – The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion ^ FestivalThe post Treaty Oak Revival Fans Yell “F*** Dak Prescott” After Power Outage Cuts Their Country Stampede Festival Set Short first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Bunnie Xo is giving advice and getting selective when it comes to people sliding into her DMs following her divorce from Jelly Roll. In a shocking revelation earlier this month, Jelly Roll filed for divorce from his wife Bunnie Xo after a decade of marriage. The petition for divorce was filed by the rapper-turned-country-artist, whose real name is Jason DeFord, against his wife, whose real name is Alisa DeFord, back on May 18. It’s being reported that it was a “mutual decision” and a “private family matter.” Whiskey Riff obtained a copy of the divorce complaint that was filed by the “Save Me” singer, which reveals that the couple separated on May 9, a week and a half before the request for a divorce was filed. He cites “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for the divorce, which in Tennessee is a no-fault grounds for divorce that means that the parties agree on the terms of the separation. The couple were married back in 2016 before renewing their vows in 2023, and have been incredibly transparent about their relationship, including their struggles along the way. They were in the middle of trying to have a baby together through IVF, and they’ve seen clarified that they will still be trying to do so… despite splitting up. And both Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo have evidently gotten back into being single rather quickly. Some reports are suggesting that the “Need A Favor” singer is already dating after the divorce, and Bunnie Xo revealed in the latest episode of the Dumb Blonde Podcast that her direct messages on social media are piling up: “My DMs have been wild. Shout out to all of the women. I told so many girls to go in Jelly’s, which, have at it. Good luck with that. But all of these women are in my DMs.” The world didn’t take long to get back to shooting their shot with Bunnie Xo (let’s be honest, a lot of people probably never stopped while she was married), and the podcast host says that she’s got some high profile individuals trying to get her attention: “I’ve got the blue check marks coming in. I’ve had a few rappers that are literally in my DMs like, ‘Yo.’ You’ve got to give me something more. I’m never going to respond to a ‘Yo.’ If you send me a f***ing yo, just go f*** yourself.” There was another condition that Bunnie Xo provided for those that are sliding into her DMs. Other than getting more creative than “Yo,” Bunnie suggested that one of the worst things people can do is mention her ex-husband, Jelly Roll: “If you come in my DM, please don’t talk about my ex. I’m trying to get away from him. Please. I don’t want to hear it.” Understandable. And for those that are sending Bunnie Xo messages asking for relationship advice, she’s got some news for them too. The days of the Dumb Blonde Podcast host dishing out relational tips are over. She said she’s done trying to help others in that space, and even boldly said that she’ll never be in another relationship again: “If you guys are writing in about relationship questions, don’t f***ing ask me. I am not giving anybody relationship advice ever again. Your girl will never be in another relationship and also will never give relationship advice because I just don’t feel like (I should).” After two marriages that have ended in divorce, Bunnie Xo is calling it quits. You can hear her talk all about that and more in the latest “Ask, Tell, Confess” segment of the Dumb Blonde Podcast: The post Bunnie Xo Says She’ll Never Be In Another Relationship Following Divorce From Jelly Roll: “I’ve Had A Few Rappers In My DMs” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Big Velvet is bringing The Book of Paul Tour to a city near your. Paul Cauthen dropped his highly anticipated fifth studio album back in April, and if you were looking for a fusion of rock, country and gospel (A.K.A. Cauthen’s signature sound), you’ll find all of that in the Book of Paul. The high-energy, self-reflective project comes at a time in Cauthen’s life where he’s certainly become battle tested. Cauthen has been through the highs and the lows, and the result is this project with fiery, upbeat tracks like “Texas Swagger” and slower, introspective songs like “The Voice Inside (Silence).” He describes it as a record that’s unapologetically himself, and hopes it inspires others to act in the same way: “It’s just being who you are – unapologetically yourself – and that’s every one of my records. Does it dance? Does it make you cry? Does it make you feel? As far as I’m concerned I’ve made it already. I can already do whatever I want musically. And when you get to this point you look back. I have built my whole career going against the grain, and that’s what this record is. The freaking trials and tribulations of Paul. It’s everything I wanted on an album.” And everything Paul wanted in an album is soon to be everything that he and his fans will want in a tour. Today, the talented Texas native announced The Book of Paul Tour, which is set to start in July and run all the way through the end of November. Cauthen will kick things off in Missouri, and travel all across the country (and up into Canada) for five straight months before finishing the tour with three straight Texas shows. If you’ve never seen Paul Cauthen live, now is your chance. The “Texas Swagger” singer puts on one hell of a show, and he’s coming to a city near you.
