Edmonton Prepares for Major Summer Concert with Post Malone and Jelly Roll
Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium is gearing up for a seismic musical event this summer as two of today's most prominent genre-defying artists announce their arrival. The face-tattooed superstars Post Malone and Jelly Roll will bring their highly anticipated Big Ass Stadium Tour Part 2 to the city on July 24, promising an unforgettable night of genre-smashing country, rock, and hip-hop fusion.
Tour Details and Ticket Information
The Edmonton show is part of a broader Canadian tour that also includes a major stop in Toronto on June 16. Fans across the country are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to secure their spots for these massive stadium events. General tickets for all dates will go on sale at 10 a.m. local time through postmalone.com, with demand expected to be exceptionally high given the artists' current popularity and chart-topping success.
Adding to the excitement, the Edmonton bill will feature additional talent including Cherry Valley-singing country crooner Carter Faith, ensuring a full evening of diverse musical entertainment at the Elks-bowl venue.
The Artists Behind the Hype
Post Malone, born Austin Richard Post in Syracuse, New York, has become one of the most recognizable figures in contemporary music. His journey from using a rap-name generator to adopting the moniker "Malone" to becoming a global phenomenon is nothing short of remarkable. After moving to Texas at age nine when his father took a position with the Dallas Cowboys, Malone eventually relocated to Los Angeles where he broke through with the basketball-tribute hit White Iverson in 2015.
Since that breakthrough, Malone has:
- Collaborated with industry giants including 50 Cent, Young Thug, and Ye
- Amassed billions of streams with hits like Sunflower, Circles, and Goodbyes
- Demonstrated his rock credentials by performing War Pigs with Slash at the Grammys in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne
Jelly Roll, the Tennessee-born artist whose face serves as a canvas of meaningful ink, is experiencing a career peak following his recent Grammy success. With a career spanning over two decades and ten studio albums, Jelly Roll has cultivated a devoted fanbase through heartfelt anthems like Son of a Sinner, Need a Favour, and Dead Man Walking. His three Grammy wins on the weekend preceding this announcement underscore his artistic evolution and mainstream recognition.
What This Means for Edmonton's Music Scene
This concert represents more than just another summer event—it signals Edmonton's continued importance as a destination for major touring acts. Commonwealth Stadium, with its capacity to host large-scale productions, provides the perfect venue for artists of Post Malone and Jelly Roll's stature. The combination of their genre-blending styles—which incorporate elements of pop, cloud rap, hip-hop, country, R&B, and rock—promises to deliver a unique concert experience that transcends traditional musical categories.
As Edmonton prepares to welcome these chart-topping artists, music fans across Alberta and beyond are marking their calendars for what promises to be one of the summer's most talked-about entertainment events.
