Houston, get ready to talk about an unforgettable night. On March 18, the sensational Post Malone took to the stage at RodeoHouston, delivering a performance that left nearly 70,094 fans buzzing with excitement. This concert was part of his extraordinary F-1 Trillion road show, following a successful headlining stint at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion just a few months prior. Who would have thought we’d already be excited about his potential return in 2025, but that’s just how popular he is right now!
A Night to Remember
As the sun began to set, the parking lots around NRG Stadium were packed to the brim, signaling the immense demand for Malone’s highly anticipated show. The crowd eagerly awaited the fusion of hip-hop and country that Malone has become known for. What many might not expect is how keenly the music scene has been embracing these country influences—something Malone has expertly cultivated.
This concert also marked the debut of his intriguing Hank Jr. Jr. persona, showcasing his new album along with a unique blend of traditional and modern sounds. Despite some critics labeling him a “scene poser” for adopting a country style, Malone has made significant strides in breaking barriers between genres with collaborations featuring artists like Billy Strings, Sierra Ferrell, and Blake Shelton. It’s a bit mind-boggling how his sound marries early 2000s pop-country vibes with fresh hooks that keep fans engaged.
Opening Act & The Setlist
The concert kicked off with the lively song “Wrong Ones,” as Malone strolled through the crowd, making a memorable entrance. Fans chuckled as he tried, but ultimately struggled, to keep his language clean, breaking this promise a few times in his relaxed style that felt like a conversation with friends. With a red Solo cup in hand during “Pour Me A Drink,” he created a casual, laid-back atmosphere that resonated with the audience.
One of the standout moments came when he reimagined the popular hit “Psycho” into a soaring anthem, showing off his vocals and emotional depth. The crowd went wild when the classic “White Iverson” started with an unexpected honky-tonk piano intro, cleverly weaving country elements into his recognizable track. Another performance highlight was “Never Love You Again,” enhanced by a stunning violin solo from his band member Lillie Mae, proving that an evening at RodeoHouston was worth every minute.
Classic Covers and Fireworks
Fans were in for even more delight when Malone paid homage to country royalty with his cover of George Strait’s classic “Ocean Front Property.” The enthusiastic reception from the audience affirmed his growing acceptance in the country music community. But perhaps the biggest showstopper was the exclamation point on the night: “Congratulations,” featuring exhilarating pyro effects that lit up the night sky. This moment encapsulated the energy and excitement that defined the evening.
Positive Vibes and Encouragement
Through it all, Malone remained a warm presence, taking every opportunity to express his gratitude towards his fans. His supportive messages encouraged his audience to chase their passions with love and intensity. It was as if he wanted every person in the crowd to feel uplifted, reminding them they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
In addition to the energetic numbers, the concert featured a compelling lineup with favorites like “Circles,” “Better Now,” “I Had Some Help,” “Rockstar,” and “Sunflower.” Malone’s stage persona balanced rockstar charisma with authentic country charm, making it clear that he’s here to stay. If this concert at RodeoHouston was any indication, the future looks bright for Post Malone and the open road ahead.
