Notorious for drinking beer out of sweaty shoes, global hitmaker Post Malone is returning to Australia to blast his new country tracks at a massive show in Milton and several regional centres.
Taking the Music to the Regions
The American singer is stepping away from the traditional capital-city-only touring route for his upcoming run of shows. He will headline the Strummingbird country music festival, bringing his star power to regional areas including Ballarat, Newcastle, and the Sunshine Coast. This move marks a major shift in how international artists interact with Australian audiences, taking high-profile live music directly into smaller communities.
During these regional festival appearances, he will share the stage with a stacked lineup of artists. The local crowds will get to see performers like Bailey Zimmerman, Cooper Alan, Stella Lefty, Dexter and the Moonrocks, Brad Cox, Max Jackson, and Sara Berki.
Stadium Shows and Ticket Details
For fans looking for the massive arena experience, the artist is still delivering his BIG ASS World Tour to major venues across the region. The stadium run starts in Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on Oct. 9, before moving to Suncorp Stadium in Milton on Oct. 12, and then Sydney at ENGIE Stadium on Oct. 15. The tour wraps up in New Zealand at Auckland’s Go Media Stadium on Oct. 21. American rap artist Don Toliver will join him as the support act for all of these stadium dates.
Getting tickets will happen in a staggered release format. Fans with Mastercard or artist presale access can buy tickets starting Tuesday, May 26. Westfield and Live Nation members get their chance on Wednesday, May 27, before the general public sale begins on Thursday, May 28. The global superstar recently explained on social media that he previously delayed his wider touring schedule because the timing was not right while he was still finishing his new music.
A Shift in Genre and Local Traditions
The upcoming shows will highlight the singer’s recent and highly successful transition into modern country music. His latest Nashville-style project, F-1 Trillion, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album and features massive collaborations with country legends like Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, and Luke Combs. Fans can expect a mix of this new country material alongside his diamond-certified pop and hip-hop hits like Sunflower, Rockstar, and Circles.
This tour marks his first time back in the country since his sold-out shows in late 2023, where he fully embraced local Australian customs. During a Brisbane concert on that run, he drank beer out of various footwear at least seven times, including from a fan’s boot brace. He told the cheering audience that he was trying to set a new record for the act. While the shoey remains a popular celebratory ritual at Australian concerts, it continues to draw criticism from some local musicians and commentators who want the practice banned.
