New Post Malone / Jelly Roll Stadium Tour Sees Low Ticket Sales
UPDATE: On Friday afternoon, May 1st, Post Malone announced that he was cancelling all May dates for the Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2. The cancellations include the opening night in El Paso, McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas, Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama, Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida;,and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi.

Original story below:
It was supposed to be one of the biggest tours of the summer. But right now, the only thing that’s big is the cavernous stadiums that need to be filled, and the availability in tickets that at some venues are upwards of 75% unsold mere weeks before the tour is set to commence. Is this a sign of a souring on Post Malone’s country era, and Jelly Roll’s overexposure and controversies finally catching up to him? Or is something else at play?
Post Malone’s Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2 is set to commence on May 13th at Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso, TX. Though Jelly Roll is officially opening for Post Malone, he has to be considered a significant part of the tour as well. Carter Faith is also scheduled to open many of the shows.
Numerous outlets and individuals have been reporting on the low ticket sales for this tour for the last few weeks. Though it sometimes can be hard to to get a handle on ticket availability due to the obtuse nature of ticket sales, going through the seating charts at numerous venues does show entire sections completely unfilled, and tickets priced in the $35.00 range—a bargain for most stadium tours.
Some of the dates are selling well, like Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula, Montana on July 21st, though even this date is not sold out. Some of the dates are offering discounts to college students, including June 5th at the University of Mississippi, and May 23rd at Louisiana State University. Many of the dates on the tour are in college towns, and as some have pointed out, that might be the problem since students are away during the summer.
Others have surmised that it’s the MAGA coding of the concert that is keeping some people away, dove tailing it with the Kid Rock Tour Festival tour that is also experiencing low tickets sales at some events. But despite collaborations with Morgan Wallen, Post Malone has mostly avoided such criticisms. Jelly Roll has been increasingly criticized, especially after his speech at the Grammy Awards, and continued accusations from Nicole Arbor. This might be taking some of the starch out of ticket sales. But Jelly Roll is not the primary draw.
It could also be economic concerns, but that hasn’t seemed to affect Zach Bryan’s stadium tour, which remains sold-out. And in 2024 when Post Malone first released his “country” album F-1 Trillion and went on tour, it sold out coast to coast.
But that might be the real reason this 2026 tour is not selling through. Since neither Post Malone nor Jelly Roll are touring behind a new album, there’s not a lot of incentive for audiences to see them a second time. Then you factor in the economy, the college town stops, and perhaps some underlying political acrimony, and it’s creating a perfect storm for paltry turnouts.
What could turn it around before or during the tour? Post Malone has been teasing a new 40-song double album called The Eternal Buzz that some are claiming will be more significantly country than F-1 Trillion. If the release of the album comes before the summer proper and is well-received with big singles, perhaps that can help resuscitate the ticket sales.
The low ticket sales for the Post Malone / Jelly Roll tour could simply be a confluence of bad circumstances, or it could be the sign of a more significant trend. Either way, it is something to watch to understand what tides might be rising, and which ones might be falling in popular country music.

Jelly roll too busy ruining wrestlemania to promote the tour
May 1, 2026 @ 4:03 pm
Went to their concert in Arlington and it was garbage. It’s like they didn’t even try. Barely any lighting, PM didn’t sing a lot of his hits but not obscure pop songs, country songs were all garage. JR didn’t do much better. Total waste of money. Like watching 2 drunk college guys doing karaoke at a bar with no preparation or coordination.
May 17, 2026 @ 9:15 pm
That was a year ago and a different concert series . I went in June of 2025. It was a great show!

Bring the tour back to california. Thats the only reason im not going again. There all in far off places

Good.
April 30, 2026 @ 9:27 am
Might it have something to do with the multi-genre background that both these guys have?
Pop country fans don’t want to see a rap concert and rap fans don’t want to see a pop country concert.
April 30, 2026 @ 9:39 am
Yeah, I’m seeing a lot of people say on social media stuff like “it’s because the music sucks” and so forth. But in 2024 into 2025, they went on a stadium tour, and according to reports, every single date sold out and stadiums were packed. Maybe over the last year we’ve seen a dramatic souring in the popularity in this type of Post Malone/Jelly Roll “country,” and maybe that’s the lesson we should take from this. But I’m not sure it’s fair to say this tour wouldn’t work hypothetically. It did work, and in fairly recent memory. Maybe it worked too well and they tapped out the market, though they are going to slightly different markets on this run.
April 30, 2026 @ 9:42 am
You only got to touch a hot stove once to realize its a bad idea to do it again.
April 30, 2026 @ 11:14 am
Isn’t Jelly Roll a Christian rock act now? Christian rock outside a few one off acts doesn’t sell out stadiums
May 2, 2026 @ 11:07 pm
Kindly, to correct you it is contemporary Christian. Also such artists sell out many more stadiums than you can fathom. Brandon Lake, Forrest Frank, Anne Wilson, Elevation Worship, Phil Wickham..so on and so forth. I highly recommend giving them a listen.
It’s amazing what can be done with God on your side 😉
May 3, 2026 @ 5:04 am
I have never heard of any of these people and they have not sold out any stadiums around me.
May 3, 2026 @ 1:57 pm
Post Malone canceled his tiger stadium show and that basically was his only shot at getting me to see him perform live. So thanks for saving me my money.
April 30, 2026 @ 9:36 am
I think it’s a case of some artists being having more social media fame over fame from their actual songs. Post Malone was very successful in the Pop realm but it was social media that proper up his Country album and his prior brief collabs with Country artists. If you take away the autotune Post Malone sucks. You could go to literally any dive bar in the country and there will be some construction worker with the same level of singing ability.
Everything about Jelly Roll has been propped up by social media fame. It’s always been his common denominator that people pontificated about his “redemption story.” Many of those posts online still defending his existence as being “inspirational” and whatever are coming from low-IQ box wine moms and divorced dads. I think his victim shtick just ran it’s course and that’s why he’s not as popular – it was never about his actual songs. (Save Me came out almost 10 years ago) I certainly hope that him being outted as a fake-Christian was part of his fall. Jelly Roll and Post Malone remind me of guys who got barbed wire and tribal tattoos in 2006 right after that trend died and now they just look stupid.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:38 am
Hey Strait, I have no idea about this stuff, but could you or another commenter answer this— Is autotune only used in the recording studio, or can a performer’s mic be put through autotune at a live show? As I said, I know nothing about it and only heard of it in recent years. What exactly does it do?
April 30, 2026 @ 12:44 pm
Hey Tom,
Live autotune (its sort of a Kleenex scenario, the standard is Waves soundgrid I think) has been widely available for a couple decades now. It works, to over-simplify, by running the vocal signal through a computer. The computer knows what key the song is in, and which notes belong in that key. When the vocal signal misses one of those notes, the computer changes the missed note to the correct note. This can be set in a number of different ways, from the very heavy-handed and obvious (think T-Pain), to very subtle, which only fixes the note if it’s a few cents off, and is very hard to notice.
Use of live pitch correction, as far as I know, is par for the course in contemporary Christian music, somewhat common in mainstream country that uses playback tracks, very rare in independent country, and a career-ending embarrassment if it ever happened in bluegrass.
April 30, 2026 @ 1:34 pm
Thanks!
May 4, 2026 @ 7:41 am
Awesome explanation – especially that second paragraph
April 30, 2026 @ 1:05 pm
Autotune, live pitch correction, and backing vocal track of main vocals are all 3 separate things that are common in Pop and Pop Country.
The signature “warble” sound in Post Malone’s vocal recordings is very obvious autotune to give that effect. In his case it’s almost used as a flanger or chorus effect on his vocals.
There is software that will do live pitch correction on a live vocal where it will take the vocal and essentially move it directly onto A440 which is perfect pitch.
Almost all Pop acts and a majority of Pop Country acts have a pre-recorded vocal track of the singer that an audio engineer will fade up or down in the mix in the mains (what the audience hears) during a performance. That pre-recorded vocal track can also have harmony vocals as well. This has the effect to “beef” up the sound of the vocals of the artist and also allow performers to move around and dance and whatever but never sound out-of-breath. If you listen to any Sabrina Carpenter performance on Youtube you can hear a quieter version of her main vocal while she ad libs.
April 30, 2026 @ 1:24 pm
Thanks!
April 30, 2026 @ 1:29 pm
Thanks for a detailed explanation.
May 1, 2026 @ 3:21 pm
I was at a Reba McEntire show in the early ’90s and it was obvious that she was getting help in the audio chain. Too-flawless vocals accompanied by backup singers who didn’t exist on stage and instruments that weren’t being played.
I don’t think it’s just pop and pop-country listeners who want a pristine performance every time they see a live show, and I am very suspicious of claims that some of the darlings of the anti-pop faction aren’t being helped by technology in the audio chain. All singers want to sound good in the studio, in concert and on their recordings.
April 30, 2026 @ 1:23 pm
Autotune is a brand name but it’s used a general term for the altering the pitch of a singer’s voice. If a vocal is flat or sharp it’s off-pitch.
I’m speaking as an outsider on this. Studio software is so advanced and intuitive now that it’s easy for recording engineers to make adjustments to imperfections on a vocal take when recording. Making minor adjustments to an imperfection on a small part of a desired vocal take it not new. In the 70’s they could speed up a section of analog tape to correct the pitch of a singer’s vocal. My problem with pitch correction is when it is used to make a singer sound like a much better and more powerful vocalist. There are guys on youtube and Instagram who show how easy it is to take a vocal track that is sung off key and make it sound like a professional Pop recording. Combine that with a Pop singer never singing live and always performing behind a pre-recorded vocal track and lip syncing; it’s totally a false bill of goods. Audio engineers and other people often argue that pitch correction is no different than adding reverb to a vocal (all vocals on recordings have reverb added otherwise it sounds very dry). I disagree that it’s the same because pitch correction on vocals, especially live, negates what makes a singer “good” – which is the ability to singer on key naturally. The reason all this “fabrication” has become so commonplace is because there is an entire generation of people who grew up with modern artists all sounding completely perfect all the time (because it’s fake and not real vocals)
We are seeing course correction on this. For example Ella Langley has been performing with live vocals and you can hear the imperfections – which is totally normal!
April 30, 2026 @ 1:51 pm
‘negates what makes a singer “good” – which is the ability to singer on key naturally.’
I remember hearing that some of the top women vocalists from the 40’s-50’s big band/pop era had perfect pitch. I don’t know if that’s true. My absolute favorite from back then, Jo Stafford, said that she did not have perfect pitch. If you’ve never listened to Jo Stafford, do yourself a favor and find some of her songs to listen to.
May 1, 2026 @ 6:39 am
Ella Fitzgerald had perfect pitch. She’s on record somewhere saying she absolutely loved Jo Stafford’s singing. I’m sure the feeling was mutual.
I play with some guys who have perfect pitch, and it sure speeds up their learning licks. It was funny though when I said something like “make that a sixth chord” and they looked blank. So I’d say “ok, just add an F” (or whatever) and they’d say, “well why didn’t you say so.”
At a certain level, singers with excellent relative pitch are better because they shade their pitches like normal people. Sounds more authentic. Nobody wants to hear a robot, even if they’re used to it.
However, I was at an open mic this week and sure wished Autotune had taken a stick to some of the vocals. Ditto for quantizing them.
May 1, 2026 @ 12:57 am
Obvi this wasn’t the main point of your comment, but “Save Me” was released not quite 6 years ago. To be clear I am not a fan of JR or his music, but due to his wild overexposure that doesn’t feel like it began that long ago I know enough that “Save Me” being released “almost 10 years ago” sounded like it was off by several years & it was driving me batty, so I Googled it 😩🙋🏼♀️😂

Is this thread really necessary? How about we keep it on the topic at hand. It comments threads like these that people screenshot and use to undermine the entire integrity of the outlet.
May 2, 2026 @ 11:18 am
First off, the comment was funny (and for many, true). It’s okay to laugh now and again. Face tattoos look terrible and age horribly. Post seems like a good guy, as does Jelly, and Sierra is more than likely a sweetheart, but the tattoos draw attention from their music. People are going to talk about them.
No matter which virtue-signallers come for you Trigger, they will always find something on most threads here to be offended by. The professionally offended spend their lives looking for something to cry about. Just keep writing your passion, brother.

What topic..?

April 30, 2026 @ 9:46 am
Only Morgan Wallen can sell out stadiums every year with high prices, and he could play 100 stadiums if it weren’t for the serious infection he had two years ago. Unfortunately he has completely lost is raspy tone and at every concert he is seen with a doctor who gives him water and medicines.Post Malone’s live performance isn’t good; he always seems out of breath.
I noticed Luke Combs copied Wallen’s walkout for his concert, and he’s also doing a show at Neyland stadium…
April 30, 2026 @ 9:54 am
I do not rate either as country. That would not put me off if I thought either or both were good but I do not rate either of them. I am not sure what sort of audience they would appeal to. Neither of them would encourage me to buy a ticket.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:00 am
I think it likely has a lot to do with people being burned out on both Mr. Malone and Mr. Roll; they are both over exposed. Add that to the economic concerns you mentioned Trigger, and it makes sense.
I believe most people on both sides of the aisle are mentally stable enough to go see their favorite artists regardless of the artist’s politics, so I’m not convinced that’s it.
Even with low ticket prices, it still costs a good chunk of change to go to an event these days. I went to an NHL playoff game with my older brother the other night, in total the cost for the day was around $800. We drove two hours to the game and didn’t stay in a hotel. This will eventually kill most forms of entertainment. My brother had the tickets, or I would not have gone.
Save your money, my friends, and go and support local artists at local venues.
April 30, 2026 @ 1:21 pm
There are 8 of us going to see Post Malone in Cleveland in June. We got really good seats for $180 each. I saw them last yr in Pittsburgh and it was packed tickets were similarly priced. Tickets went on sale in February, a lot of people don’t buy concert tickets till closer to the date. I think the show will do good.
May 1, 2026 @ 11:03 am
I myself am wondering where these $35 tickets are! I wanted to buy tickets for our family to see them in Baton Rouge. Lowest price is $112, all the way up to over $1,600. I’m not paying over $100 per person just to go to this show, I don’t care who they are. For $35 I would’ve taken the family. The price has to be a part of why ticket sales are so low!
May 1, 2026 @ 7:48 am
I went to a Jeffrey Foucault show at Hotel Congress in Tucson back in November…Absolutely amazing show. Had 1 glass of wine and bought his Universal Fire c.d.
For ticket, glass of wine and cd , total cost of evening apx $65…
May 2, 2026 @ 11:05 am
This is the way! Well done.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:18 am
Also it’s important to note that there is a tour within the tour, with Jelly Roll doing the ‘Little Ass Shed Tour’ inbetween this Post Malone tour. While as you mentioned Jelly Roll is the opener on thsi Post Malone tour, it’s not a typical opening support situation, Jelly Roll is massive. It’s almost like 1A and 1B.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:30 am
Sturgill Simpson/Johnny Blue Skies tour is also not selling, but probably because the album was released only on physical media and is still not on streaming yet. Only the die-hard fans have likely heard it.
I think you may be onto something about these second-leg tours. Saw Nine Inch Nails in a major market in 2025 and it was a sold-out show, then caught a leg 2 concert this year in a city about three hours away that was not.
May 1, 2026 @ 12:38 pm
Yeah, I think the JBS concert has a few headwinds:
1. Album isn’t streaming
2. Not marketed under the Sturgill name, just JBS
3. Stadium tour, when most fans would prefer smaller venues
4. People don’t feel good about spending money right now several months in advance
May 2, 2026 @ 3:23 pm
Tickets have been on sale for 3 weeks, dude. Depending on what market you’re in, you’d be SOL for good seats within the first week.
Album has also been on iTunes for $10 digital download for weeks. It topped charts on all monied releases.
Really surprised Trig didn’t cover that, honestly. All the crying would have been great traffic for the site.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:40 am
“Many of the dates on the tour are in college towns, ”
I’ve read that part of the reason is that many NFL stadiums are booked with World Cup matches this summer.
“It could also be economic concerns, but that hasn’t seemed to affect Zach Bryan’s stadium tour, which remains sold-out.”
Absolutely not true, at least in Starkville, MS where I am about to take a bath on the four tickets I bought but need to sell now that I can’t go.
April 30, 2026 @ 2:35 pm
Well, I can’t speak to the Mississippi State date, but they had to double up dates in Tulsa to meet demand, and most all of his dates have been selling through well. Massive crowds. You can always have an anomaly, but nobody’s talking about how Zach Bryan isn’t selling.
April 30, 2026 @ 10:46 am
They are both a plague to country music …post bud ight malone and.jelly with his fake religiuos crap..who bragged of writing 200 songs in a year ..all bangers im sure
April 30, 2026 @ 11:08 am
I wasn’t going to the Post Jelly show anyway, but did look at the prices. Prices are insane. Face was way too high on the ZB show at the stadium, but the kids wanted that as their Christmas present. Then felt a little robbed when there were so many unsold and chap seats.
Almost bought presale RCS/Brent Cobb tickets but stopped when I saw seats behind GA and off to the sides in the lower stands were $250 a piece. I’ll see if I can pick them up for $50-75 a piece closer to the show. If not, I’ll be fine keeping my money in my pocket. The money I’m willing to spend right now has a cap.
I’m sure Posty and Jelly’s current standing have something to do with low sales, but with everything else going on in the world, dropping $700 for a night out with my wife and I just isn’t in the plans currently.
April 30, 2026 @ 11:30 am
Overexposure and consumer choice. The novelty of “Post goes Country” wore off fairly quick. Jelly tours A LOT – can’t blame him for making hay in the sunshine, but anyone who wanted to see him recently has had ample opportunity.
Pop country karaoke isnt a good stadium product. Also, stadiums suck.
April 30, 2026 @ 12:37 pm
Malone’s country album had some good songs. I still wouldn’t pay to see him in concert. Or Jelly Roll.
April 30, 2026 @ 12:39 pm
I bought tickets several months ago during a pre-sale to see Turnpike Troubadours in Fresno at an arena on 09 May thinking that the tickets would go fast. But they just postponed the show until October. After looking at the seats that were still available for 09 May at the time, less than half had been sold with less than 2 weeks until the show. Fans may finally be pushing back on the higher ticket prices and just refusing to buy tickets to as many concerts as before.
April 30, 2026 @ 12:49 pm
“Fans may finally be pushing back on the higher ticket prices and just refusing to buy tickets to as many concerts as before.”
Spot on. I’m thinking the greed in the industry is catching up to some.
May 1, 2026 @ 5:42 pm
Absolutely. This article is complete clickbait. I found absolutely 0 tickets at any of the venues this concert is being held that are at the $35 price point the article states. Most venues are near selling out, and the tickets available are skyhigh. Meanwhile, we are worrying about paying $5 per gallon of gas.
Maybe people just can’t afford too pay hundreds of dollars to support jellyroll and post malone. We broke lol.
May 1, 2026 @ 7:07 pm
NR,
They literally just cancelled the first five dates of the tour today due to low demand. If anything, this article was too early, and the situation is even worse. A lot of the earlier shows were where the $35 tickets were, including for students. They were bring run through student organizations, so you might not see them reflected via Ticketmaster.
May 2, 2026 @ 10:19 am
Current student at LSU, they have been sending us emails for weeks trying to sell student tickets for 35 dollars before they finally cancelled it
May 2, 2026 @ 10:20 am
Follow up: They did not do that for the Zach Bryan show
May 2, 2026 @ 11:07 am
Not only have they cancelled dates, they’ve pushed the tour back three weeks. Post’s press release is interesting; I’m not buying the excuse.
April 30, 2026 @ 3:37 pm
I also don’t think the economic anxiety can be discounted. Fuel prices have shot up across the Midwest this week alone. The news is telling people every day that their jobs are going away thanks to AI (b.s., but it’s the common message).
The President can point to GDP all he wants, fact is consumer confidence is in the toilet and all the Wall Steet numbers and GDP numbers can’t hide that.
April 30, 2026 @ 1:07 pm
Well I mean the post Malone thing throws me but I’m absolutely not surprised by jelly roll my personal opinion he sucks and I’ve heard from ppl who have hung around him that he’s a complete jerk when he out of the eye of the public
May 4, 2026 @ 7:44 am
Agree!! Watching his wife post a video of him picking his nose and eating it told me all I needed to know about what a pig he truly is!
April 30, 2026 @ 1:09 pm
If Malone or Jelly put out new albums before the tour, I’d expect tickets to go fast, especially if the new songs click with mainstream country’s main demographics, which are now young and female. It seems like it’s been a long time since the Malone “country” album came out, and an eternity since “Beautifully Broken.”
April 30, 2026 @ 1:19 pm
For those of us old enough for the comparison…
Brooke Shields used to guest on all the variety shows as “Brooke Shields”, no real nod to actress, entertainer,etc. Jellyroll appears to now be “Jellyroll”, and he answers his phone “yes, I’ll do it. Hello”.
Trig…has true love taken another hit? I’ve not seen Kaitlin Butts and Cleto in any of their socials in awhile.

Post Malone is sitting on a 40 song album (announced) and yet hasn’t released a single song in two years, well before his precious tour. That could play a hand in this. Where is the new music?
April 30, 2026 @ 5:31 pm
If you gave me a free ticket and a limo ride back and forth to this show 10 minutes away I would turn it down. What a bunch of garbage!
April 30, 2026 @ 6:13 pm
Their fans are too busy itemizing their tips so they don’t have to pay taxes on them to be able to go to a show.
April 30, 2026 @ 6:26 pm
Probably because the same tickets I paid $180 for last summer were $1200 when they went on sale this year. I wanted to take my son, got on the presale, saw the prices and immediately logged out.
April 30, 2026 @ 8:37 pm
I’m too old to go to concerts anymore but from 1965 – 2000, nobody went to as many as I did so I have history with the damn things. I agree that stadium shows suck. The few stadium shows I did go to I had VIP status and was in the dugout, backstage or someplace other than in the nose bleed section where the stage appeared to be in the next county. If I can’t see the act without looking at the jumbotrons I’d rather be at home watching this on my own big screen where the seats are more comfortable, the restrooms are clean and the beer is reasonable.
I suspect that younger concertgoers are into the whole big concert thing as an occasion to hang out and get drunk or high with their friends but don’t care much about the music but even they will bail when the prices get too high.
I’ve noticed that my friends seem to be going to a few shows lately, like the Eagles and Bruce but they’re retired boomers with disposable income. The audience that supports country music is likely to have families and expenses so they have to choose where to spend their money and may decide that a stadium show with $150 tickets, $20 parking, $15 beers and $6 gas to get there may not offer the biggest bang for their buck.
May 1, 2026 @ 5:11 am
I do believe the answer is “all of the above” but I also think these 2 artists are no longer popular enough to sell stadium tickets at ridiculous prices. I have no doubt that dynamic pricing (lower) and giveaways and marketing will get these shows close to sold out by show time. These guys are just not at Morgan Wallen and Zach Bryan level of popularity.
May 1, 2026 @ 6:34 am
Jelly Roll, like actual Jelly Rolls, was always going to go stale. When you do one thing and one thing only, it results in a short shelf life.
May 1, 2026 @ 8:31 am
I went to a Jeffrey Foucault show at Hotel Congress in Tucson back in February…Absolutely amazing show. Had 1 glass of wine and bought his Universal Fire c.d.

I guess my point is that there are ways to see and hear Great music without breaking the bank…
May 1, 2026 @ 7:33 pm
Love Hotel Congress. I’ll be seeing Kingfishr (not country, but amazing Irish folk-rock band) at Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix for $25 in August. You couldn’t pay me to go to a stadium show at this point.
May 1, 2026 @ 10:27 am
While I would never see either of those two artists, I do see a lot of shows. I think the main driver of low ticket sales (including Johnny Blue Skies as mentioned above) is the price in relation to the current economy. Sure, maybe it’s a $35 ticket, but after fees its probably $59. It’s 50 bucks to park there, never mind how far you have to travel. Beers are $15 each, t-shits are $45. A $35 ticket in section 405 of a football stadium gets a lot less attractive when you factor that in… What are you gonna do, but better seats for $200 a pop? When the cost of a concert approaches the cost of your rent we have a problem.
I myself had to swear of arena shows for the rest of the year. With ticket prices hovering around $75-$100 for major acts it’s just not worth it. I had a large vehicle expense come up this month, and all of a sudden i have to see less club shows to manage my finances $50 at at time.
Point being, when live nation says they want concerts to be a “luxury experience” it doesn’t take much for the average American to have to cut back on luxuries.

Make the prices cheaper!! I want to go!!

The show in missoula montana prices are over $300 per ticket. Crazy expensive. Its not worth it for a few hours of entertainment
May 1, 2026 @ 7:38 pm
Because most people who wanted to see this show WENT LAST YEAR. They milking the ish out of this & nobody wants to pay 200$ a ticket for it.

You know a tour is tanking when the headliner bails.
May 1, 2026 @ 8:30 pm
I think there’s definitely a larger story at play that’s music industry-wide about how poorly tickets are selling across any level of show and how expensive tickets are getting. Stadium level artists are choking out the mid level artists and there’s never been more oversaturation and ticket competition with so many artists on the road. Morgan and Zach and even Ty Myers haven’t cleared out a single date. Think 2026 is definitely a crashing point that many touring artists and festivals are going to have to recalibrate very strategically from.

I love Post Malone but I will not go to see Jelly Roll . I’m not giving my hard earned dollars to anyone that supports a pedophile and him and his wife have made their choices clear. Stick to wrestling.

Grow up, turn off your tv, and get a clue.

Agree one hundred percent 🙌🏼 Watching his wife post a video of him picking his nose and eating it showed me what a pig he truly is.

It has alot to do with ticket prices. Decent George Strait tickets at Clemson are over $7500. That is f*cking ridiculous. I love Jelly Roll but most people can’t afford that. There is no reason tickets prices should be that fucking expensive.
May 2, 2026 @ 9:10 am
Do you mean $750? Surely not $7500??? I spent $770 on Strait/Stapleton tickets 2 years ago. That pretty much finished me for going to concerts.

Their concert at LSU Tiger Stadium was just cancelled. Another in Birmingham was postponed three weeks so Post could “continue work on new music”.
May 2, 2026 @ 7:08 am
Story updated last night with this info. Might have more on it soon as well.
May 2, 2026 @ 9:02 am
I posted without looking at the update. People aren’t going to spend vacation type expenses on a concert.
May 2, 2026 @ 8:05 am
I wish them the best of luck … I’m in a re-entry program right now just got out of prison… Been locked up for the last 3 years … Doing my last 2 years here in this program so it’s just nice to have a phone to watch them on it and it’s cool to see all the comments lol …. Haha you’ll have so much to say … To the ones going to the concert have lots and lots of fun … To the ones saving your money and doing other things with it you as well have a good time … Always take lots and lots of pic for memories 🩷💙🩷💙🩷💙🩷💙pics last forever 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶and enjoy your freedom….

It’s seeing low ticket sales – as it should.
May 2, 2026 @ 10:33 am
This defaults primarily to Post Malone’s lack of new music and most of the country has seen this tour already. I also think Jelly Roll needs to refocus back on his music instead of his weight loss, albeit a great job.
May 3, 2026 @ 11:12 am
I wouldn’t want to see either of those two performers even if the tickets were free, but that was also my view when their previous tour was selling out. Not sure what’s changed since then–musical tastes, the economy, public perceptions, timing, or some combination of those–but if this signals the end of artists like Post Malone and Jelly Roll being at the forefront of country music, I’m all for that. I’d much rather a Fleetwood Mac-inspired country artist like Ella Langley be at the forefront than any hip-hop-inspired artist.

I wouldn’t watch the Face Tattoo Edgelords concert if it was a free show at the amphitheater at my local city park even if there was free beer. My wife and daughter think Jelly Roll is great I cannot agree I watched a documentary with my wife about JR and had to stifle a laugh at all of the fans weeping during the show.

Post Malone concert last year was amazing a genuine Rock
Star. I had no idea his show at bonnaroo could be so awesome. I think this is jelly rolls fault. His music is depressing and all sounds the same. Sucks that post Malone
Teamed up within him.
May 3, 2026 @ 6:05 pm
The news just dropped today that Post Malone is cancelling several stops on the tour to “work on new music”… I’m sure ticket sales have nothing to do with it!
May 4, 2026 @ 8:15 am
Goodie!!!!! Trash all the way around 🗑️🗑️🗑️

Jelly roll is a talentless fraud and this tour collapsing is proof of just how hard he’s been astroturfed over the last few years. They made him look popular by sticking him out front at other people’s events. WrestleMania, grand ol opry, Rogan, TV awards shows, UFC fights..etc. All of those were already huge. He didn’t need to do anything except stand there with that stupid look on his face and say his “aw shucks” shit and maybe cry occasionally. But now that he’s the main event and they want people to actually spend money to see HIM no one gives a damn and his tour collapsed like it was a plastic lawn chair he sat on. I hope this is the end of them trying to mainstream this “hick hop” shit. Country artists have a hard enough time being treated fairly and this jailbird clown show is the last thing they need to be publicly associated with.

Music, art and politics cannot be separated. Songwriters communicate their worldviews, their perspectives, and their values in songs. These are the same things that inform their politics. Anyone who asks artists to politically sanitize themselves for the sake of selling concert tickets — or, to your point, projects an assumed political stance onto an artist — has lost the plot. I personally like when artists speak wholeheartedly about causes and policies they support. Show who you are with your full chest. If people align with that, great. If they don’t, that’s fine too. Sure, you may lose some fans, but you may gain some too. And I’d bet the fans you do have would feel even more loyal, knowing you better and connecting on issues they are passionate about.

Saw this today – Post Malone has “blue dot fever” and it made me laugh. You catch it by having too many blue dots on your shows ticketmaster seating chart.
May 4, 2026 @ 9:33 pm
Jelly Roll said on 05/04 on Jimmy Kimmel that Post is moving the first 5 shows to the back end of the tour so he “can finish his album”. So that indicates they aren’t fully cancelled.
May 7, 2026 @ 8:21 am
You’re a trash site that writes BULLSHIT . Post Malone’s Tour has been postponed until his newest album is finished. Also, Ford is still healing from his WRESTLEMANIA bumps.
