Post Malone has shocked the music industry with a groundbreaking announcement, announcing his embarkation on what could be the most ambitious stadium tour of 2025. The genre-defying superstar will headline the aptly named “Big Ass Stadium Tour,” bringing his unique blend of hip-hop, pop, and country to 25 major venues across North America.
The tour, which supports Malone’s chart-topping country-themed album “F-1 Trillion,” introduces an unexpected but electrifying pairing with fellow tattooed sensation Jelly Roll as the opening act. This collaboration marks a significant moment in music history, uniting two artists who have successfully crossed genre boundaries.
“You can’t really have a bigger name right now,” says Creston Thornton, Live Nation’s mountain region president. “He’s everywhere.” The statement rings true, as Malone’s recent achievements include six Billboard Hot 100 number-one hits, including collaborations with industry giants like Taylor Swift, Morgan Wallen, and Beyoncé.
The tour boasts an impressive lineup of legendary stadiums, such as AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Citi Field in New York. What makes this tour particularly noteworthy is its inclusion of markets often overlooked by major stadium tours, such as Boise’s Albertsons Stadium, which will host over 35,000 fans.
Breaking from traditional touring patterns, Malone’s team has structured ticket pricing to ensure accessibility, with seats ranging from $49.50 to $349.50 plus fees. This strategic pricing reflects the artist’s commitment to reaching a broad fan base across different economic backgrounds.
The tour announcement comes on the heels of Malone’s successful venture into country music. His latest album features an impressive roster of country music royalty, including Tim McGraw, Dolly Parton, and Brad Paisley. This genre-bending approach has earned him seven Grammy nominations this year alone.
For rising star Jelly Roll, whose own journey from former drug dealer to country music sensation has captured America’s heart, joining the tour represents a career-defining moment. His recent sold-out performance at the Ford Idaho Center, drawing 8,500 fans, proves he’s more than capable of commanding stadium-sized crowds.
Ticket sales will roll out in phases, starting with a Citi cardmember presale on November 20, followed by general public access on November 26. Industry experts predict record-breaking sales, particularly given the tour’s unique blend of musical styles and strategic venue selection.
The tour kicks off on April 29, 2025, in Salt Lake City and concludes on July 1 in San Francisco, covering 25 cities over three months. Each show promises to be a spectacle, with gates opening at 5:30 PM and music starting at 7:30 PM.
This massive undertaking could reshape the future of stadium tours. As Thornton notes, “I definitely think the market’s ripe for two or three—or three or four—stadium shows a year.” The success of this tour could pave the way for more diverse, genre-crossing stadium events in markets traditionally reserved for country music or rock concerts.
For fans unable to secure tickets through traditional means, T-Mobile has partnered with the tour to release a special allocation of tickets in April 2025, ensuring multiple opportunities for fans to participate in what’s shaping up to be one of the most significant tours of the decade.
