Post Malone announces Detroit stadium concert, with Jelly Roll opening, as part of 25-city tour
Published in Entertainment News
DETROIT — Post Malone has an announcement. A Big Ass announcement, to be more specific.
The multi-genre hitmaker will perform at Ford Field on May 18 as part of his "Big Ass Stadium Tour," the singer announced Tuesday.
He'll be joined by fellow rapper-turned-country singer Jelly Roll, who earlier this month told an audience at Little Caesars Arena it was his dream to perform at Ford Field. (In retrospect, it seems the fix was in.)
Tickets for the show go on sale at noon Nov. 26 via Ticketmaster. A pre-sale for Citi card holders begins at 12 p.m. Wednesday, and artist pre-sales start at 9 a.m. Friday. Fans can register for pre-sale tickets here.
The concert is the second show to be announced on Ford Field's 2025 docket, following the announcement of Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks' March 29 concert at the downtown football stadium.
Posty's "Big Ass Stadium Tour," which kicks off April 29 in Salt Lake City and will visit 25 North American cities, marks the 29-year-old's first stadium concert outing.
It comes on the heels of this year's "F-1 Trillion," his sixth studio album and first foray into country music, which includes the Morgan Wallen-featuring smash hit "I Had Some Help," which earlier this year spent six non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.
Malone, born Austin Post, also hit No. 1 this year with "Fortnight," Taylor Swift's single on which he's featured. He previously topped the charts with "Rockstar" (featuring 21 Savage), "Psycho" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign), "Sunflower" (featuring Swae Lee) and "Circles."
Jelly Roll, who is just as much a preacher and motivational speaker as he is a country singer, has performed in Detroit a half-dozen times in the last 15 months. At Little Caesars Arena earlier this month, he recounted his history in Detroit, going back to his days performing at the Shelter and Saint Andrew's Hall, and he told fans where he really wanted to play was the Detroit Lions' home.
"I hope one day we come back and get to do it at Ford Field, baby," Jelly said during his show. "That's my dream, Detroit!"
West Virginia singer-songwriter Sierra Ferrell will also perform at the show.
Post Malone has worked his way up through the Detroit concert rankings since his Motor City concert debut, performing with Fetty Wap at the Fillmore Detroit in February 2016. He then opened for Justin Bieber at the Palace of Auburn Hills that April, and was back in October headlining Saint Andrew's Hall.
He has since performed multiple arena concerts in Detroit, including shows at Little Caesars Arena in 2019 and 2022.
