Post Malone is pressing pause on the road, shelving his Birmingham concert as he reshapes his upcoming tour around fresh material. The tour with Jelly Roll was set to launch in mid-May, but an ambitious double album has taken center stage, turning what were to be rehearsals into recording sessions.

Post Malone has officially shifted the start of his upcoming tour to June 12 in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium, opting to delay the rollout in favor of completing a highly anticipated double album. The decision has led to several outright cancellations rather than reschedules, including the Birmingham date at Protective Stadium. Early May performances across Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida have been removed entirely.

“Truth is, I promised y’all beautiful new music, and I don’t have the time to finish it before tour starts,” he shared on his Instagram story, offering a candid explanation for the sudden reshuffle. The artist reflected on his recent appearance at Stagecoach Festival, noting that the transition from festival energy to studio deadlines proved more complicated than expected, thus the 3-week delay.

Meanwhile, the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex confirmed the cancellation while outlining clear refund policies for affected fans. Those who purchased through official outlets such as Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, or LSU Athletics will receive automatic refunds to their original payment methods, typically within 15 to 20 business days, including fees and VIP packages.

With the delay, Post Malone has only heightened anticipation, as his new album quietly takes center stage over the canceled concert dates.

Post Malone's upcoming album

Post Malone is preparing to unveil his seventh studio effort, 'The Eternal Buzz', a sprawling 40-track double album released through Republic Records and Mercury Records. First teased on Instagram with a studio whiteboard outlining two discs of 20 tracks each, the project signals an ambitious scale rarely attempted in contemporary mainstream releases.

The sonic direction is shaped by collaborators such as Ernest, HARDY, and Thomas Rhett, while studio contributions from guitarist Derek Wells point toward richer instrumentation, including pedal steel and fiddle. At the same time, rumored features from Swae Lee, Roddy Ricch, Jelly Roll, and Robin Pecknold hint at a wide creative spectrum. The sheer scope and evolving soundscape explain why completing the album ultimately took precedence over Malone's previously scheduled tour plans.
