The music scene is set to get a little bit country as Post Malone announces a nationwide tour, set to blaze a trail across the United States, to promote his debut country album "F-1 Trillion." In a move that has many raising their Stetsons in anticipation, the genre-wandering artist has decided to saddle up and take his new tunes on the road. Country 103.7 FM reported that Post Malone will be making 20 stops, with a tour kickoff slated for September 8 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Among the cities graced by Post Malone's presence will be Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina, a state that will witness the "I Like You" singer twice following the release of his country venture. While this isn't his first rodeo in Charlotte, having performed there within the last two years, it's a return to Raleigh for the first time since 2019. According to a news release shared by the performer, "I love y’all so very much and I'm so excited to get out and play new music for you." These sentiments, as given in the statement, underscore his enthusiasm for live performances and, likely, his evolved sound.

Charlotte fans should circle October 7 on their calendars for the show at PNC Music Pavilion, whereas Raleigh residents can check out his act at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek on October 5. WCNC notes that this tour follows Malone's fifth studio album, "Austin," released in July 2023, which was itself a departure from his hip-hop roots, dipping into synth-pop territory.

For those eager to snag tickets before the general public can sprint to the box office, presales are starting on June 28 at 10 a.m. with the code: CHORD. CLTure.org reports that general ticket sales commence on July 1, also at 10 a.m. Post Malone's collaborations have kept him in the limelight, with features on Taylor Swift’s "The Tortured Poets Department" and Beyoncé’s "Cowboy Carter" album—experiences that have likely informed his foray into country music and primed his audience for "F-1 Trillion."

While the transformation of Post Malone from hip-hop heavyweight to country crooner may be a shock for some, it's clear that this artist isn't afraid to traverse genres and challenge expectations. With The Fools For You band in tow to deliver a "collection of country songs," the Post Malone experience comes with a promise of both novelty and nostalgia for what promises to be, an unforgettable tour.
