Post Malone Cancels Tiger Stadium Show as Part of Wider Tour Delay
Fans in Baton Rouge will have to wait longer to see Post Malone and Jelly Roll. The global superstar announced on Friday, May 1, 2026, that he is canceling the first month of his Huge Ass Stadium Tour Part 2
, including the highly anticipated performance at LSU’s Tiger Stadium scheduled for May 23.
The decision comes as Malone prioritizes his studio work over the initial leg of the tour. In a social media update, the artist explained that he is pushing back the start of the tour to continue working on new music, citing a promise to his fans to deliver new material.
Impact on the Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2
The cancellations aren’t limited to Louisiana. According to Variety, the move affects the first six regularly scheduled dates of the Live Nation-produced joint tour. This includes the tour’s intended kickoff on May 13 in El Paso, Texas. While five shows have been canceled entirely, another date is reportedly being rescheduled.
