Post Malone Brings Big Ass Stadium Tour to Australia and New Zealand

Post Malone is taking the Big Ass World Tour to Australia and New Zealand this October, locking in four stadium shows produced by Live Nation. The run kicks off October 9 at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, then moves through Brisbane, Sydney, and wraps in Auckland on October 21. Don Toliver is confirmed as special guest across all four dates.

Beyond the stadium stops, Malone will also appear on the Strummingbird Festival bill at three separate locations: Ballarat, Newcastle, and Queensland's Sunshine Coast. That gives Australian fans seven chances to catch him across the run, making this his most expansive headline push in the region to date.

Why Post Malone's Australia Run Matters

This is not Post Malone testing new markets. He opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers on a six-date Australasian stadium run in 2023, headlined Spilt Milk Festival the same year, and has charted every album in the ARIA top 10. Two of those albums hit number one. His 2024 country project F-1 Trillion debuted at number two in Australia, showing that his pivot toward country and roots sounds landed just as well internationally as it did in the U.S.

The Big Ass World Tour spans two legs and two years, and the Australia and New Zealand run is the latest extension of that. His U.S. leg with Jelly Roll was pushed back earlier this year while Malone finished work on his next album, reportedly titled The Eternal Buzz. No release date has been announced yet, but a new project on the way makes this tour cycle even more worth watching.

What This Means for Independent Artists and Creators

A tour at this scale, stadium runs across multiple continents with festival crossover built in, shows what a fully developed artist ecosystem looks like in practice. Malone is not just headlining venues. He is stacking festival slots between stadium dates, maximizing reach without cannibalizing ticket sales. That is a routing strategy worth studying regardless of where you are in your career.

The Don Toliver co-bill is also notable. Toliver is not an opener here; he is billed as a special guest, which signals a peer-level collaboration rather than a support slot. For independent artists thinking about how to structure live partnerships, that framing distinction matters.

Tickets go on sale through an artist presale starting May 27, with general on-sale beginning May 29. Full details at postmalone.com and livenation.com.au.
