Travis joined rappers Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz at the Azura Amphitheater for the second edition of the musical extravaganza.
The 34-year-old was in the thick of the action as he celebrated the Chiefs' recent Super Bowl LVIII win with over 20,000 fans.
In a video released by festival sponsor Jim Beam, Kelce was seen taking a shot of whiskey by running it down a slice of cured ham.
Kelce was joined by Master Distiller Fred Noe and his son Freddy to take part in the age-old family tradition.

He was cheered on by a watching crowd before handing out free Wingstop to hungry festival goers, per the Daily Mail.
"Kansas City! How we feeling out there tonight? roared Mahomes as he joined his tight end.

Travis Kelce opens up on new career venture as Hollywood actor after NFL star feared he’d get fired on first week
"You know what were going for? Three of 'em!"
Mahomes and his wife Brittany were later seen grooving in the VIP area to Lil Wayne's set.
One notable absentee was Kelce's pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift.
Speaking on the red carpet before the show, Travis said of Taylor, “She wishes she was here, I know that, but she’s got a lot of people she’s performing for.”
The music icon is currently in Europe continuing her $1 billion Eras Tour.
Swift and Kelce enjoyed some R&R last week after jetting off for a romantic getaway in Lake Como, Italy.
The pair stayed at a lavish $22,000 hotel and were spotted getting cozy over a candlelit dinner.
Travis Kelce the actor
NFL star Travis Kelce has apparently landed his first major acting role.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end plans to become a "heavyweight" figure in music and entertainment.
Kelce has seen his star power rise after going public with his girlfriend Taylor Swift last summer.
The 34-year-old has now been cast in the new horror series Grotesquerie.
Directed by American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, the drama is set to land on FX this fall.
Kelce will appear in the show alongside Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance, and Lesley Manville.
On Tuesday, Nash-Betts appeared to confirm Kelce's involvement with a surprise Instagram reveal.
"This is what happens when WINNERS link up" she captioned a clip featuring Kelce in a backstage dressing room.
Kelce signed a new Chiefs contract last month which makes him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history.
And the three-time Super Bowl is keen to take his music festival on a nationwide tour.
"Taylor knows how to run a show," a source told The U.S. Sun.
"She deals with tours and some of her people are helping his team build a very solid plan and create the best festivals.
"There have been a lot of meetings and great offers from brands.
"Many venues in those cities are interested in having the Kelce Jam coming to their city."
Kelce's fame has skyrocketed since getting together with Swift last summer.
