Post Malone electrified approximately 70,000 fans during his highly anticipated performance at RODEOHOUSTON 2025, held at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, on March 18, 2025. Known for blending genres, he captivated the audience with an eclectic mix of his popular tracks and a heartfelt cover, showcasing his charm and stage presence in a vibrant show.
When the Texan star took the stage, he didn't just step out of a vehicle but rather chose to walk barefoot, embodying his laid-back, rockstar persona. With a red Solo cup in one hand and a cigarette in the other, Malone's entrance was unorthodox yet engaging. Dressed casually in jeans, a pearl snap button-up, and a '2025 Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo' vest, he immediately won over the audience. His first track, "Wrong Ones," from his latest album, F-1 Trillion, kicked off the night with an energy akin to an NFL theme song, setting the bar high for the rest of the evening.
The energy remained palpable as he moved seamlessly through his set, performing hits like “Circles” and “What Don’t Belong to Me,” and managing to sprinkle in humor along the way. He regularly engaged with the crowd, thanking them repeatedly for their support, and affectionately referring to them as "ladies and gentlemen." "This is one of, if not the most badass f****ng venues in the world!" he proclaimed, showcasing not only excitement but also a genuine appreciation for the stage.
A highlight of the evening came when he delivered a powerful cover of George Strait’s classic, "Ocean Front Property". The moment resonated with long-time fans who knew the words by heart. Malone noted, "This is the first time we have done this live," before encouraging everyone to join in the singalong. The crowd responded enthusiastically, proving Malone's ability to connect across generational lines.
In addition to the music, Post Malone took a moment to inspire. "No matter what you wanna do in this world, there are people that believe in you and there are people that love you and there are people that support you," he reassured attendees during his speech. This message was particularly poignant as he urged fans to pursue their dreams passionately. "It doesn't matter whether you wanna be an astronaut or a bronc rider at RODEOHOUSTON, do what you love!" he exclaimed, encapsulating the essence of the event and his role in bringing people together.
Throughout the night, Malone's self-deprecating humor shone as he joked about the quality of his music and playfully cautioned against the rotating stage. The singer was able to balance lightheartedness with moments of sincerity, allowing the audience to feel invincible, if only for a night. His musical versatility came through as he transformed older hits like "White Iverson" into heartfelt ballads, and by the time he was performing the powerful anthem “I Had Some Help,” the excitement in the crowd only intensified.
The culmination of his performance was the explosive finale of hits like "Congratulations," a fan favorite, followed by his chart-topping song "Sunflower." As he bid farewell, he expressed his love for the audience, stating, "It seems like a lot of the time whenever you look around at the world, it seems like there's not enough love. I just wanna say to every single one of you, ladies and gentlemen, I love you so much." His ability to cultivate a celebratory atmosphere made the concert not just a music event but a communal celebration of passion, dreams, and togetherness.
As the night came to a close, Post Malone left the stage with a promise of more to come. Fans are eagerly anticipating his upcoming Big Ass Stadium Tour alongside Jelly Roll and Sierra Ferrell, which is set to kick off on April 29, 2025, in Salt Lake City, Utah. With his unique blend of country, pop, and hip-hop influences, Post Malone continues to carve his niche in the music industry, proving that he can seamlessly cross genres while maintaining an engaging and authentic connection with his fans. The performance at RODEOHOUSTON was not just a concert; it was an unforgettable experience filled with music, laughter, and inspiration that resonated long after the last note faded away.
