Travis Kelce continues to find new ways to expand his influence beyond the football field, and his latest announcement shows just how far his reach now extends. Ahead of another season with the Kansas City Chiefs, Kelce revealed a major career development that has nothing to do with touchdowns or playoff runs.
Speaking alongside his brother, Jason Kelce, Kelce announced that their wildly popular podcast, "New Heights," is heading to the stage. The show will go live in Los Angeles at the Orpheum Theatre on June 15, marking a significant evolution for a podcast that has already reshaped the sports media landscape.
“We are going LIVE,” Kelce said. “We are taking the show on the road. "New Heights" is live in LA. We are taking our talents to the West Coast.”
Since launching in 2022, New Heights has grown into one of the most recognizable sports podcasts in the world. Hosted by the Kelce brothers, the show blends football insight with personal stories, humor, and a steady stream of high-profile guests.
What began as a weekly conversation has turned into a full-scale media platform. The podcast quickly climbed the charts on major streaming platforms and later secured a deal reportedly worth more than $100 million, signaling its massive commercial appeal. It has also earned multiple industry awards and built a dedicated fan base known as “92 percenters.”
Now, the move to a live format represents the next phase of that growth. Jason Kelce emphasized that the Los Angeles show will feature surprise guests, audience interaction, and the same energy that has made the podcast successful.
The timing of the announcement adds another layer to the moment. With the international soccer spotlight shifting to Los Angeles as Team USA prepares for World Cup action, the Kelce brothers saw an opportunity to bring their show to a major sports stage.
For Travis Kelce, it is another example of how his career continues to evolve. Already one of the most accomplished tight ends in NFL history, he has steadily built a presence in entertainment and media that rivals his on-field resume.
This latest move shows a larger trend. Athletes are no longer limited to their sport, and Kelce is diving fully into that reality. As the Chiefs prepare for another season, Kelce is also preparing to perform in a completely different arena, one where the spotlight is just as bright and the audience is just as engaged.
