Brisbane stadium show
Post Malone will also play Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on October 12 as part of his BIG ASS World Tour, with Don Toliver joining as special guest.
The Brisbane date lands less than a week before his Sunshine Coast festival appearance, giving Queensland fans two ways to catch him in October.

A major country-pop drawcard for the Coast
Post Malone’s headline slot follows his move deeper into country music, with the artist now sitting between global pop stardom, Americana crossover and big open-air festival energy.
The announcement follows Strummingbird’s 2025 Sunshine Coast edition, which featured Jelly Roll and Shaboozey among its major drawcards.
