With a classic country artist already in place for a pair of kickoff concerts, Summerfest on Monday went to a more modern take on the genre in announcing another headliner for the 2026 event.
Post Malone will lead the lineup June 27 at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater, with special guest Carter Faith opening. That seems to indicate a night of country music, although Malone’s complete catalog makes that far from a sure thing. His sound has bounced among hip-hop, R&B, rock and pop — an impressive chameleon act considering he has just six studio albums under his belt.
Most recently, he released F-1 Trillion, the country record that figured to play a prominent role at the Amp on the festival’s second Saturday. If you’d like to grab tickets to the June 27 show, they’ll go on sale to the general public starting at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 17, online via Ticketmaster and at the amphitheater box office.
Post Malone artist bio
A nine-times-diamond-certified global superstar, Post Malone regularly rewrites history, blurs boundaries and incites conversation with every move.
Emerging in 2015 with a genre-less brew that inspired a movement, he delivered the diamond-selling “Congratulations [feat. Quavo],” achieved back-to-back #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, received multi-platinum certifications around the world, and broke one record after another with his Hot 100-topping hits.
Most recently, Post released his debut country album, F-1 Trillion, which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Ahead of the album, Post released “Guy For That” featuring Luke Combs, “Pour Me A Drink” featuring Blake Shelton and mega-smash “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen, which debuted atop the Hot 100 and remained there for six straight weeks.
The critically acclaimed F-1 Trillion, along with collaborations with Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, earned Post eight Grammy nominations. This past spring, he headlined Coachella before hitting the road on his “Big Ass Stadium” tour, following his record-breaking F-1 Trillion Tour last fall.
