Post Malone, after spending a good chunk of 2017 with the No. 1 single on the charts while playing festivals and selling out clubs and theatres, has announced a North American tour of mostly amphitheatres from April to June, with “Rock Star” collaborator 21 Savage as direct support.

Post is set to release new music on Friday, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign called “Pyscho,” although even without new material he remains one of the most-listened-to artists according to Pollstar’s Elite 100 Artists chart.

The new dates kick off at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, with stops at venues including May 2 at Red Rocks in Denver, May 24, at Xfinity Center in Boston, June 14 at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Dallas and June 16 at Austin360 Amphitheater in his home market of Texas, and ending at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountainview, Calif., June 24.

He’s also playing festivals including a high billing at Coachella in April, Governors Ball in New York and the hip-hop specific, taste-making Rolling Loud festival in Miami, after being booked there just three years ago on a side stage when no one had even heard of him.

The major shed tour is not a surprise, as Post Malone had been outgrowing festival stages and being upgraded to rooms in the 7,000-capacity range this fall after his “Rock Star” single went No. 1.

Post Malone manager Dre London told Pollstar in a previous story that “We could have sold out the ‘Stoney’ tour twice!” and mentioned the plan was amphitheatres for 2018.

Also on support is SOB X RBE, the Vallejo-based rap group that had been making waves on the West Coast with sellouts reported to Pollstar including the UC Theatre in Berkeley Aug. 1 (1,350 tickets, $40,550 gross), The Catalyst in Santa Cruz July 30 (1,000, $23,500), Ace of Spades in Sacramento July 29 (1,000, $25,000) and Roseland Theatre in Portland, Ore., which moved 1,360 tickets and grossed $20,400. 

 The group was part of the Lil Uzi Vert / Playboi Carti co-bill to take place at the end of 2017 although the dates were mostly rescheduled or canceled after Lil Uzi Vert tweeted that he wasn’t going to tour after all.
