LOS ANGELES, On Sunday, May 3, 2026, at 7:45 p.m. PT, Post Malone announced on Instagram that he is postponing his upcoming “Big Ass Stadium Tour” with Jelly Roll, citing unfinished music and scheduling conflicts. The decision, which pushes the tour back by three weeks, comes just days after his performance at Stagecoach Festival in California.
Malone told fans he had promised new music but admitted he could not complete it before the tour began. “I don’t have the time to finish it before tour starts,” he wrote. “We ain’t ready for tour just yet, so I’m making the decision to push the tour back about three weeks to get this music done.” He added that after reviewing his schedule, he realized the plan was not feasible.
The announcement immediately drew mixed reactions online. Some fans expressed disappointment over canceled shows, while others praised Malone for prioritizing quality music over rushed performances. “We’d rather wait for the album than see a half-ready tour,” one fan commented, reflecting the supportive side of the response.
Malone also apologized to ticket holders, saying he was excited about “going nuts” with them once the tour resumes. He emphasized that the delay was temporary and that he remains committed to delivering a high-energy experience when the shows eventually take place. Jelly Roll, who was scheduled to join Malone on the “Big Ass Stadium Tour,” has not yet commented publicly on the postponement.
Industry analysts noted that the decision highlights the growing tension between touring schedules and creative output for major artists. With streaming platforms demanding constant new content, musicians often face pressure to balance live performances with studio work. Malone’s move, they said, reflects a broader shift toward prioritizing long-term artistic credibility over short-term revenue.
For now, fans await new dates and fresh music from Malone, who has built a reputation for blending rap, rock, and pop into chart-topping hits. The message is clear: the “Big Ass Stadium Tour” will happen, but only when the music is ready.
