Patience, it turns out, is the key with Post Malone.
After it was announced earlier this year that the tour behind the Grapevine-raised superstar’s sixth and latest studio album — F-1 Trillion, his A-list foray into country music — would skip Texas altogether, there was a little handwringing. (OK, and maybe just a smidgen of hurt feelings.)
Posty didn’t leave North Texas hanging for long, though.
On Tuesday, the multi-platinum singer-songwriter unveiled his appropriately titled “Big Ass Stadium Tour,” which kicks off April 29 in Salt Lake City before bringing him back to AT&T Stadium in Arlington on May 9. (This will mark Malone’s first appearance at the venue in six years, since his second annual Posty Fest took over the space in 2019.)
Tickets go on sale to the general public at noon, Nov. 26, via SeatGeek, but fans can register for presale access, which opens up at 9 a.m. on Nov. 22. Pricing was not immediately available.
For those who might cry foul about the star’s detour from hip-hop and pop to Nashville, to hear Malone tell it, country music is not some recent fascination.
“I would go upstairs on the computer and make a beat and then put my headphones in and try to learn a Metallica riff and then I’d get the acoustic guitar and learn to play ‘Tear in My Beer,’” Post told the New York Times in August. “I would write a Hank Williams or Johnny song, record that, sing over some 808s and record that song, and then I’d make an indie-rock song and record that, too.”
For this run of “Big Ass” dates, Posty will be joined by rising country stars Jelly Roll and Sierra Farrell, both of whom appear on F-1 Trillion. His AT&T Stadium gig will be his first North Texas appearance since an August 2023 two-night stand at Dos Equis Pavilion, the first night of which the Observer called “endlessly energetic.”
Perhaps he’ll also have time while in Arlington to acknowledge his Best of Dallas honor from earlier this year: Best Featured Artist. “Artists looking to craft a chart-topping single should be taking notes,” we said of his prolific contributions to others’ hits. “A Posty collab seems to be the secret sauce.”
