If you’re after party music on the biggest stage possible, look no further than Post Malone’s upcoming Coachella set. The pop-rap-country phenom will close out the music festival this weekend—and we wouldn’t be surprised if he brings some pretty major special guests along with him.
Here’s everything we know—plus some pretty decent hunches—about Malone’s headlining Coachella performance.
What day is Post Malone performing at Coachella?
You can catch him during the fest’s first weekend on Sunday, April 13; he’ll return to the stage for weekend two on Sunday, April 20.
What time will Post Malone play the Coachella stage?
Post Malone will take the stage at 10:25pm on Sunday, on both weekend one and two of the festival—when the weather should thankfully be better now, better now compared to the afternoon heat. There are a couple of sets on other stages (Polo & Pan, XG, Dixon back-to-back with Jimi Jules) that technically start later, but for all practical purposes, Malone has the honor of closing out Coachella.
Has Post Malone played Coachella before?
Yes. Though he’s only officially appeared on the Coachella lineup once before, he’s no stranger to the Empire Polo Club: In 2018 he played the Sahara tent, and he returned in 2023 as an unannounced guest during Bad Bunny’s headlining set. And—given his recent turn toward country pop—he actually played last year’s Stagecoach Festival, held on the same grounds as Coachella and just a week later.
Any news on Post Malone’s setlist for Coachella?
We don’t know exactly what Posty will perform at Coachella, but we can certainly look to some of his recent sets for a pretty decent indication. For starters, we’d say it’s pretty certain you’ll hear a career-spanning mix of hits; “Congratulations,” “Sunflower,” “rockstar,” “Psycho,” “White Iverson” and “Better Now” have all been fixtures in recent setlists. He’s turned to F-1 Trillion opener “Wrong Ones” a couple of times recently, too—and since that album released well after his Stagecoach set last year (which consisted entirely of country covers) we wouldn’t be surprised to a few other tracks make it into the setlist.
What special guests might show up?
Well let’s maybe start with which guests won’t show up—at least on paper. Malone’s two Coachella sets technically kick off his “Big Ass Stadium Tour” with Jelly Roll and Sierra Ferrell, but the tour poster very specifically notes that neither of them will appear for the Indio dates. (Of course, Jelly Roll is headlining Stagecoach in a couple of weeks, so it would certainly make sense for him to make a cameo in order to tease that show.)
We’ll note that Ty Dolla $ign wraps up his set just before Posty’s, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see him scoot on over from the Sahara tent in order to guest on “Psycho.” Outside of that, the possibilities for Malone’s potential special guests are seemingly endless. He’s collaborated with massive hip-hop stars (21 Savage, Young Thug and fellow Coachella headliner Travis Scott), pop icons (Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and Justin Bieber) and country legends (Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Dolly Parton). And, of course, he sang lead with the surviving Nirvana members during the SNL 50th anniversary special.
