Post Malone Becomes Latest Artist to Cancel Upcoming Tour Dates

Grammy nominee Post Malone will not be hitting the road as scheduled. The crossover artist announced on Friday, May 1, that he is postponing the start of his upcoming "Big Ass Stadium Tour."

"Hey there party people. Let me first kick this mofo off by saying - hope everyone out there is having a kickass day and spending time doing what they love with the people they love," he shared via his Instagram Story. "Looking at the upcoming schedule after Stagecoach, I came to the realization that what we were trying to do, and what's possible, isn't really lining up."

The "Sunflower" artist went on to say that his promised "double album" will not be ready in time for the start of his tour.

"Truth is, I promised y'all beautiful people new music, and I don't have the time to finish it before tour starts. We ain't ready for tour just yet, so I'm making the decision to push the tour back about 3 weeks to get this music done," he added.

The "Big Ass Stadium Tour" featuring country artist Jelly Roll was set to kick off in El Paso on May 13. His shows in Waco, Texas, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Oxford, Mississippi, Birmingham, Alabama, and Tampa, Florida, have also been canceled.

The tour is now set to start June 9 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"I'm so sorry to the folks who were planning on coming to the few canceled shows. I was looking forward to going nuts with y'all," Post continued. "That THAT being said, we been making some badass s--t for this double album...and I can't wait to perform for y'all again."

Post Malone is the latest artist to cancel tour dates, following One Direction alum Zayn Malik who canceled all U.S. tour stops amid health issues, and Meghan Trainor who axed her entire tour.
