This needs to happen yesterday.
Post Malone has officially been tapped to headline Bud Light’s Super Bowl weekend concert — Bud Light Presents: Post Malone & Buddies — kicking off Friday night, February 6th, at Fort Mason in San Francisco. It’s about an hour north of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, where the big game will happen… but the hype is already building on Posty’s side of town.
And honestly? Nobody is surprised.
Post has become practically synonymous with Super Bowl festivities. Last year, he delivered a flawless, stripped-down “America the Beautiful” in Las Vegas before the Chiefs took down the 49ers. He’s also been a staple of NFL-adjacent concerts, headlining the YouTube Tailgate and Bud Light’s Backyard series with artists like Sierra Ferrell, HARDY, Joe Nichols, and Blake Shelton.
Just last month, he lit up the Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving halftime show — and immediately sparked the annual question:
Why hasn’t Post Malone headlined the Super Bowl halftime show yet?
During a quick Billboard interview, Post dropped some major hints about what fans can expect at the Bud Light concert:
“A hundred percent” — he plans on debuting new music.
Post says he has 45 songs in the pipeline and is racing to finish as many as he can between shows, travel, and an insane schedule:
“We’ve been working very, very diligently… There will be new music by then. Allegedly.”
“Allegedly a hundred percent maybe, definitely.”
Classic Posty.
So… would he ever headline the actual Super Bowl halftime?
He didn’t hesitate:
“Would love to.”
And honestly? What are they waiting for?
Post Malone is one of the rare artists who crosses every genre seamlessly — country, pop, rap, rock, hip hop — and does it at a superstar level. His debut country album F-1 Trillion exploded last year, stacked with collabs from Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and more. Outside the country world, he’s already one of the most recognizable global artists of the past decade.
He checks every NFL box:
-
Massive mainstream appeal (your dad knows him, your mom likes him, your kids love him)
-
Huge cross-genre catalog
-
Electric live performer
-
A built-in pool of A-list collaborators
-
Diehard NFL fan (Cowboys Nation — he bleeds blue and silver)
It makes too much sense.
All the NFL has to do is send the offer. Posty will say yes before they finish the sentence.
