Post Malone has announced a second date at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London this September – find out all the details below.

Last night (May 8), Post Malone took to social media to announce two additional dates for his European and UK leg of the BIG ASS stadium world tour. The new dates will see him play a second show in Berlin, Germany on August 19, as well as a second show at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on September 8.

The second London date comes after his first show on September 7 was sold out. When the first show was announced, it was shared that Jelly Roll – who will be accompanying him for most of his European and UK trek – will not be joining him in London, though this appears to have changed. Jelly Roll will now be joining Post Malone for both London shows.

Pre-sale tickets to Post Malone’s new London date will begin today (May 9) at 10am local time, while General Public sales begin on Wednesday (May 14) at 10am local – you can get your tickets here.

Post Malone previously announced dates in Romania, Germany, Denmark, Italy, France, Netherlands, Spain and more – check out the full list of tour dates below and find any remaining tickets here.

Shortly before his Coachella headlining sets last month, Malone confirmed that has “made probably 35 songs” for a new record and it was now “a matter of which one’s rock, and which one’s sock”, adding he would “absolutely not” debut any new material at his two headlining sets. He’s since released another collaboration with Morgan Wallen on April 18 titled ‘I Ain’t Comin’ Back’.

Before that, he fronted a reunited Nirvana for their SNL 50: The Homecoming concert appearance.

In paid partnership with Priority from O2

Post Malone has confirmed he’s bringing his ‘Big A** World Tour’ to the UK this summer – and if you’re an O2 or Virgin Media broadband customer, you can get Priority Tickets right now ahead of general release.

Malone may have switched things up on 2024’s ‘F-1 Trillion’ album by embracing country music – and teaming up with scene legends Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Luke Combs, Blake Shelton, Brad Paisley and more – but the rapper and singer’s ‘Big A** World Tour’ promises a mix of fan-favourites, chart-topping hits and new music.

The North American leg of the run was confirmed back in November, with Posty set to play 25 gigs between April 29 and July 1. Earlier this week, he confirmed the European leg of the tour will kick off in August and feature a huge show at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 7. This run will be Post Malone’s biggest international headline tour to date and promoters LiveNation have promised “a massive production” for the gigs.

Post Malone will play:

AUGUST

SEPTEMBER

Tickets for Post Malone’s ‘Big A** World Tour’ go on sale February 21 at midday local time. However, Priority Tickets for his show at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are available right now here.

Before hitting the road, Post Malone will act as ambassador for Record Store Day 2025 which is set to take place on April 12. “We love hitting local shops when we’re on the road, seeing all the crazy artwork, the whole energy in a record store is just super inspiring,” he said in a statement. “I feel at home. It’s really an unexplainable feeling to hit up a shop and dig through crates, just see what grabs your eye. Keep supporting y’all and let’s keep records and these local shops going strong. Happy Record Store Day everybody!”

Set to take place on July 3, the event will come as a one-off performance and see the hip-hop, Afrobeats and R&B icons come together for a co-headline gig.

For 50 Cent, the show comes over 10 years after he released his latest studio album – 2014’s ‘Animal Ambition’. Since then, he has gone on to drop ‘The Complete G-Unit’ with the hip-hop band in 2019. It isn’t his only overseas show planned for 2025 either, as the summer will also see him head to Glasgow to headline TRNSMT Festival.

Blige released her latest album more recently, however – sharing ‘Gratitude’ via her own label Beautiful Life Productions just last month. The one-off London show comes after her North American headline tour across January and April.

Finally, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show will come as Davido drops his latest album ‘5ive’ early next year, which marks the follow-up to his ‘Timeless’ record which arrived in 2023.

Tickets go on sale at 10am GMT this Friday (December 20). You’ll be able to buy yours here.

In other news about the artists, 50 Cent recently revealed that he turned down $3million to perform at a Donald Trump campaign rally in New York, amid the US Presidential election. He also took home the Hustler Of The Year award at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards – beating off competition from A$AP Rocky, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, GloRilla and more.

Blige was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Class of 2024 alongside Cher, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, A Tribe Called Quest, Peter Frampton, Foreigner and Kool & The Gang.

Travis Scott has broken a record at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, after performing what was his biggest headline show to date.

The rapper is currently halfway through his series of UK and European live shows, taking place as part of his ‘Utopia: Circus Maximus tour’. It kicked off with an opening night at the GelreDome venue in Arnhem on June 28, before continuing throughout July with stops in Krakow (2), Zurich (4), Nice (6) and Antwerk (9).

From there, he headed over to the UK for two shows – performing at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 11 and Manchester’s Co-Op Live on July 13.

Now, it has been confirmed that the London gig was his biggest show to date, and saw him draw in over 48,500 attendees and gross more than $6.6million (£5.1million) from that one night alone. He also broke the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium merchandise sales record for any event to date at the stadium, including the NFL.

Now 50 per cent of the way through the tour, the shows have already been found to have grossed over $23.6million (£18.2million), and seen just shy of 200,000 fans flock in to see him at the first seven dates.

It comes as Scott also garnered huge numbers for the North American leg of his tour, which ran for 44 shows and grossed $95.7million (£73.8million), with an attendance of 686,000.

The UK and European leg of the tour continues tonight (July 16), with a performance in Hamburg at Barclays Arena. This will be followed by stops in Prague, Cologne, Milan, Frankfurt, and Madrid, before concluding at Lisbon’s MEO Arena on August 4.

£1/€1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the Cactus Jack Foundation – an organisation dedicated to uplifting Houston youth through toy drives, scholarship programmes for HBCU college students, and supporting educational and creative endeavours. So far, the EU/UK leg of the tour has seen $250,000 (£192,783) donated. Visit here to find out more, and buy remaining tickets to the forthcoming live shows here.

Travis Scott’s remaining ‘Circus Maximus’ tour dates are:

Scott’s live shows come in celebration of his album, ‘Utopia’, which became the biggest-selling hip-hop release of 2022 – spending four weeks at the top of the Billboard Top 200 and gathering over 50billion streams globally. It was also named the most streamed album in its first week in 2023 by Spotify, and Apple Music confirmed the biggest first-day streams of an album in 2023.

It was given a three-star review by NME, who described it as having a “lofty concept”, but “shaky execution”.

“By going back to the sound of his early work, Scott steps back into the gargantuan shadow of his mentor, Kanye West,” it read. “Whereas ‘Astroworld’ was the perfect theme for Scott’s music – we’re going to a theme park! – in trying to navigate a lofty concept like finding utopia, his ambitions have led him back to someone who was far more formidable at it.”

Pearl Jam have announced the cancellation of their London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium gig, citing illness within the band as the reason.

The iconic rock band were supposed to take over the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow (June 29). Eddie Vedder and co took to their official Instagram account to share a statement explaining why they will no longer be able to go on with their scheduled performance.

“The Pearl Jam concert scheduled for Saturday, June 29 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London has regrettably been cancelled due to illness in the band,” began their statement shared on the band’s socials.

“This decision was the last thing we wanted to have to make, especially as we know so many of you made travel plans based on the tour schedule. There was simply no other option based on our current health and also having to avoid further damage.

“We couldn’t be more disappointed to not play one of our favourite cities this tour. Despite best efforts, rescheduling was not possible at this time due to existing schedule commitments.”

They ended with: “We are deeply grateful for your support and sincerely apologise to the incredible Pearl Jam community for the inconvenience and disappointment. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.”

Pearl Jam previously took over Manchester’s CO-OP Arena on Tuesday (June 25) and according to The Guardian saw Vedder struggle with his voice due to being ill.

Previously speaking to NME about the two London shows the band had slated at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, guitarist Stone Gossard shared: “We’ll probably try to sprinkle in some new stuff every night, and we’re playing some of the hits as well. It’s a good show. The band’s playing pretty well right now. Everyone’s in good spirits.”

He also asked if the band would ever be down to play at Glastonbury and responded with: “I don’t know the answer to that question. I know that we’ve never played before. I think maybe there was an offer a long time ago, but I don’t know that for sure. My impression of it is it’s been a very impactful festival for England in particular. I know that there’s been some amazing breakout performances there. But I haven’t kept up with it that much. Dua Lipa, right?”
