While Coachella don't usually share their lineup until January, Post Malone appears to have confirmed his ostensible headliner status early.

The iconic Coachella festival might still be five months away, but Post Malone appears to have spilled the beans about his potential headliner status.
Taking to Instagram today, Post Malone announced the dates for his fittingly-titled 'Big Ass Stadium Tour' which is set to take place across the US and Canada in May, June, and July of 2025.
Joined by Jelly Roll with Sierra Ferrell appearing as a special guest, it’s an impressive run of dates, though special attention was paid to the first two, which list Post Malone as performing at Coachella on April 13th and April 20th.
With rumours of his involvement in Coachella swirling despite no official confirmation from the festival, TMZ have since confirmed that Post Malone is one of the three headliners, with the rapper-turned-country star set to close out the Sunday performances.

If true, this would be Post Malone’s first time as a listed performer on the festival’s lineup since 2018, when he performed on a day featuring heavyweights such as Beyoncé, Haim, David Byrne, and Tyler, The Creator.
Though he has since made some guest appearances, it would be his first time as a headlining act at the iconic festival. Likewise, it would be his first time performing what would ostensibly be a country-heavy set at Coachella, given his transition to country music with August’s F-1 Trillion album.
Notably, Pitchfork have pointed out that the two Coachella dates are not included in a press release issued to announce Post Malone's wider tour. However, this is likely due to his tour being presented by Live Nation, while Coachella is produced by Goldenvoice; a subsidiary of rival organisation AEG Presents.
Currently, Coachella have not issued any statement regarding Post Malone’s involvement, and are expected to officially announce their 2025 lineup in January. The 2024 edition of the festival featured Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat and Tyler, The Creator as headliners.
