Now, Kelce has several months free until preseason practices start, with specific dates and times for teams to be announced in the spring. The Chiefs player is training to stay in shape while he enjoys his time off over the next few months, though he’s not tied to an official NFL practice schedule that would conflict with Coachella weekend.

Kelce spoke with PEOPLE about hispotential plans to return to the music and arts festivalin Indio, California this year. “I am a Coachella guy,” the NFL star said in April, about one week away from the event.
“I love going to Coachella. I love live music in general. So you might see me pop up over there at some point,” he added. However, with the NFL season not too far away and a handful of additional responsibilities around his other endeavors, Kelce teased his plan wasn’t set in stone.
“I’m not sure if I’ll go to a weekend, one or two, or if I even have time knowing my schedule’s filling up pretty quick before we get started back up for football here,” he explained.
