Post Malone Brings Sold-Out Crowd and Heavy Traffic to Mountain ViewGetty Images

In what has been eagerly anticipated by fans, the sold-out Post Malone concert is finally hitting the Shoreline Amphitheatre tonight, August 16th, causing local authorities to issue a warning about potentially heavy traffic in the area. As we know, the excitement of a sold-out show often comes hand-in-hand with the less-glamorous side effect of traffic congestion, and the Mountain View Police Department wants concert-goers to be prepared according to a tweet they posted earlier today.

Mountain View will play host to the second of Post Malone's Northern California shows for his 2023 "If Y'all Weren't Here, I'd Be Crying" Tour, which kicked off yesterday at the Toyota Amphitheatre in Wheatland. The tour announcement came back in May, much to the delight of fans who immediately snapped up tickets for the two Northern California venues as reported by ABC 10.

Post Malone, known for hits like "Sunflower," "Rockstar," and "Circles," shared his excitement about the tour on social media when announcing his U.S. tour dates. His love for his fans and the delight that comes with performing live shows were evident in his Instagram post where he said, "I love y’all so very much, and I’m so excited to get out and do some more shows for y’all. Help me put a baby through college, and come on out to see some cool new production, new songs, and a very, very handsome man up on stage sending love to you and yours."

 

 

The Shoreline Amphitheatre, located at 1 Amphitheatre Parkway in Mountain View, is no stranger to hosting large events and sold-out concerts, but a traffic warning from the Mountain View Police Department highlights the potential impact on local roads, particularly Highway 101 and Shoreline Boulevard. They're urging concert attendees to leave with enough time to get to the venue and advising those who aren't attending to head out early to avoid delays.

So, for those who managed to score tickets to tonight's show, heed the advice of the Mountain View Police Department, and plan accordingly to ensure your Post Malone experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
