Posty won’t be delivering for fans in Asia, Australia and New Zealand later this year, as planned.
Post Malone’s Big Ass World Tour was scheduled for its swing through Asia and down under later this year, a run that included shows at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium (on Oct. 9), Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium (Oct. 12), Sydney’s ENGIE Stadium (Oct. 15), and Auckland’s Go Media Stadium (Oct. 21).
The “Rockstar” singer was also booked to headline three Strummingbird Festival appearances in the regional Australian towns of Ballarat (Oct. 10), Newcastle (Oct. 17) and Sunshine Coast (Oct. 18).
Those shows are now shelved, and a reason has not been given.
“We’re gutted to let you know that Post Malone will no longer be headlining Strummingbird, due to the recent postponement of his Asia and Australian tours,” reads a statement from the touring festival.

The Australia dates have been scrubbed from the official Ticketmaster page , and the NZ show is listed as “cancelled.”
Live Nation has yet to announce new dates for Malone’s headline tour, the U.S. singer and rapper’s first in these parts since headline Spilt Milk festival, which visited Canberra, Ballarat and Perth in 2023, and opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers’ on the rockers’ six-date Australasian stadium run earlier that year.
On the Spilt Milk run, he made himself at home by performed a “shoey” on stage — an Aussie tradition where the victim drinks beer out of a shoe.
Post Malone makes himself at home on the Australian charts, too. His seven albums have all impacted the ARIA top 10, including No. 1s for Beerbongs & Bentleys in 2018, Hollywood’s Bleeding in 2019. His most recent collection, the 2024 country album from F-1 Trillion , flew to No. 2.
The American star has been busy of late. He recently announced his engagement to Christy Lee, with whom he has been romantically linked since early 2025. He busted out a new song “Chrome Heartbreaker” during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Closing Ceremony, and his August 26 th mixtape has been made available for streaming for the very first time.
