Post Malone cancels Big A dates

Concert tours usually break because of health, logistics, or money. This one broke because Post Malone says the music itself isn’t done. He pulled the opening stretch of his Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2 with Jelly Roll and pushed the launch back into June so he can finish a new double album. That sounds simple, but the move tells you a lot about where the album really is — and how late in the process this decision landed. ### What actually changed? The tour was supposed to start on May 13, 2026. Now the first Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2 date showing on Post Malone’s official schedule is June 9 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. In between, six stadium stops from the original opening run were canceled. ### Which shows got cut? The dropped dates were in El Paso, Waco, Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Tampa, and Oxford, Mississippi. LSU’s athletics site also confirmed the Baton Rouge stop at Tiger Stadium was canceled. So this was not one market quietly disappearing — it was the entire first leg of the stadium rollout getting wiped out. ### Why did Post Malone do it? Post’s explanation was basically: the schedule stopped making sense. He told fans he needed more time after Stagecoach and said he was not going to have the album finished before the tour started. Multiple outlets describing the message say the reason was his need to complete *The Eternal Buzz*, a planned double album. ### How big is the album problem? Pretty big. The album being discussed is not a quick follow-up or a half-finished side project. Reports around the postponement describe *The Eternal Buzz* as a 40-track double album. That matters because a project that large is not just a few missing verses — it means recording, sequencing, features, mixing, mastering, and show planning can all get jammed up at once. ### Why cancel instead of just touring anyway? Because a stadium tour is built around timing. The songs, visuals, merch, guest spots, and promo all lock together. If the album is supposed to be the engine for the run, going out before it is ready can make the whole thing feel half-launched. The catch is that course. That makes this look less like a tweak and more like a real production miss. ### What about Jelly Roll? He is still part of the tour once it resumes. The official listings for the June stadium dates still show Jelly Roll on the bill, with Carter Faith also attached to many stops. Some coverage also notes Jelly Roll has separate solo dates on his own schedule, which softens the blow for him more than for fans who bought specifically for the joint stadium opener. ### Are refunds and replacements clear yet? The broad picture is clear — those six dates are off. But venue-by-venue handling has been uneven in public-facing details, which is normal right after a tour reset. Fans have mostly been told through ticketing pages and local venue notices rather than one giant centralized explainer. ### So what’s the real read here? This is less about six canceled concerts than about an album deadline slipping into tour season. Post Malone did not just reshuffle a night or two — he gave up the first three weeks of a stadium run to buy time. If *The Eternal Buzz* lands soon and the June 9 restart looked.
