Post Malone’s BIG ASS Stadium Tour rolled into Glendale’s State Farm Stadium on June 21, delivering an unforgettable concert experience that blended a variety of musical genres. Despite the absence of rising country star Jelly Roll, who was not scheduled for this show, Malone engaged the audience with a nearly two-hour set that showcased hits from his decade-long career, including “Rockstar,” “Circles,” and “Sunflower,” which capped off the night.
The stage design was relatively understated compared to other recent high-profile concerts, featuring a band setup surrounded by highway-themed decor like road signs. A massive neon “Posty Co.” sign adorned the stage while large screens ensured that fans in the upper levels didn’t miss any action. A special moment occurred when Malone covered Morgan Wallen’s “I Ain’t Comin’ Back,” demonstrating his versatility.
Malone paid homage to Jelly Roll during the performance of “Losers,” sharing a message from Jelly Roll that resonated with the crowd. Opening acts Wyatt Flores and Chandler Walters warmed up the audience, with Flores impressing fans with a heartfelt rendition of The Fray’s “How to Save a Life.”
While the concert was enhanced by an impressive display of pyrotechnics, some felt that the extensive use of fire effects detracted from the overall experience, especially in the Arizona heat. Malone’s laid-back demeanor and rapport with the audience transformed the large venue atmosphere into something more intimate, as he frequently expressed gratitude for their support.
Yet, not all was flawless; during the performance, Malone fell off the stage after stepping on an unstable surface. Thankfully, he quickly recovered but was seen with a noticeable limp for the rest of the show. This incident recalled a previous fall he experienced in 2022, though reports suggest he was able to continue the performance without severe injury. With just a few concerts left in the tour, fans are hopeful that he will recover and finish strong.
This concert not only showcased Malone’s musical talent but also demonstrated his ability to connect with fans, making it a memorable night for everyone in attendance. As more dates approach, fans are left eagerly anticipating what comes next from this dynamic artist.
