When the announcement first leaked that Post Malone and Jelly Roll San Antonio would be the highlight of the 2025 stadium circuit, people lost their minds. It wasn't just another tour stop. It was a cultural collision. You’ve got the face-tattooed king of melodic hip-hop who accidentally became a country superstar, and the reformed outlaw who basically owns Nashville right now.
San Antonio has always been a weird, wonderful hub for music, but this was different. The Alamodome on May 7, 2025, became a massive testing ground for what "post-genre" music actually looks like. If you were there, you know. If you weren't, you probably saw the viral clips of the $60 parking fees that had half the city ready to riot.
Honestly, the hype was almost too much. But somehow, they pulled it off.
The Night the Alamodome Went Country (Sorta)
Walking into the dome that night was a trip. You had kids in Bud Light t-shirts standing next to guys in full western wear, and everyone was there for the same thing: the BIG ASS Stadium Tour.
Post Malone has this specific way of commanding a room that huge. He doesn't act like a rock star. He acts like your buddy who just happens to have 10 diamond-certified singles. He kicked things off with "Texas Tea," and the energy was immediate. But let's be real—the moment things shifted was when the fiddle and steel guitar started for the F-1 Trillion tracks.
People were skeptical. Can a guy who made "White Iverson" really sell a country stadium show in the heart of Texas? Turns out, yeah.
Jelly Roll, though? He’s the soul of the operation. He didn't just open; he took us to church. Seeing him in San Antonio felt personal. He spent half his set talking about redemption and the other half proving he’s got one of the most powerful voices in modern music. When he and Posty finally shared the stage for "Losers," the building felt like it was going to vibrate apart.
Why San Antonio Was the Smartest Tour Stop
Texas is Post Malone’s backyard. He’s a native. There’s a level of comfort he has in a San Antonio crowd that you don't see in NYC or LA.
- The Vibe: It was loud. San Antonio crowds are notorious for being some of the most vocal in the country, and they didn't disappoint.
- The Support: Having Sierra Ferrell on the bill was a genius move. Her "Gypsy Jazz" and bluegrass influence gave the night a texture that stopped it from being just another loud stadium concert.
- The Setlist: It was a massive 25-plus song marathon. Posty leaned heavily into his new country era but didn't ignore the hits that built his house.
The $60 Parking Controversy and Logistics
We have to talk about the elephant in the room: the parking.
Social media was a bloodbath 24 hours before the show. The Alamodome announced parking would be $60, credit card only. In a city where you can get a world-class taco for three bucks, paying sixty to leave your car in a lot felt like a slap in the face.
One fan on Facebook famously asked if the parking fee included an oil change. It didn't.
Beyond the parking drama, the "know before you go" rules were strict. No flags, no banners, and—interestingly—no Stanley Cups. If you showed up with your 40oz tumbler, you were walking back to that $60 parking spot to hide it in your trunk.
What Actually Happened on Stage?
If you're looking for the breakdown of the performances, it was a mix of high-production stadium rock and intimate acoustic moments.
Posty did the hits: "Circles," "Sunflower," and "Congratulations." But the real magic was in the F-1 Trillion material. Songs like "I Had Some Help" (originally with Morgan Wallen) and "Pour Me A Drink" sounded massive in the dome.
There was this moment mid-set where the stage felt smaller, more like a honky-tonk than a stadium. Posty, with his signature Red Solo cup, leaned into the crowd. He’s got this weirdly humble charisma. He kept saying "thank you" like he couldn't believe 60,000 people showed up for him.
A Quick Reality Check on the "Fall"
You might have seen the headlines about Post Malone "falling off the stage" during this tour. While that actually happened later in the tour in Glendale, Arizona (during "Pour Me A Drink," ironically), the San Antonio show was relatively injury-free.

The stage design for this tour was aggressive—lots of catwalks and proximity to the fans. In San Antonio, the "pit" was a sea of people, and the interaction felt more genuine than your standard rehearsed stadium show.
How to Handle Future Tours in San Antonio
If you missed this one, or you're looking ahead to 2026 festival dates (like Posty at Stagecoach or Boots In The Park), here’s how to actually survive a show of this scale without losing your mind or your entire paycheck.
- Skip the Dome Parking. Seriously. Use the VIA Park & Ride. It’s usually around $2.60 roundtrip. You’ll save $57, which is enough to buy exactly one t-shirt and maybe a water inside the venue.
- The "Posty Standard" Arrival. If doors are at 5:30 PM, the openers usually start around 6:30 PM. Post Malone didn't typically hit the stage until 9:00 PM for this run. Plan accordingly if you don't want to stand for five hours.
- Check the Bag Policy Twice. The Alamodome is unforgiving. Clear bags only, small clutches—don't try to sneak in a backpack. They will make you walk back.
Is This the "New" Post Malone?
People keep asking if he’s done with rap. Watching him in San Antonio, it doesn't feel like he's "done" with anything; he’s just expanding.
He played "Rockstar" and "Psycho" with just as much heart as his country tracks. The collab with Jelly Roll isn't a gimmick. It’s two guys who grew up listening to everything from Three 6 Mafia to George Strait, and they’ve finally reached a point where they don't have to choose.
The San Antonio show proved that the audience doesn't care about genres either. We just want songs we can scream-sing along to.
Your Next Steps:
- Check Official Sites Only: If you're looking for 2026 festival tickets where Post Malone and Jelly Roll are both appearing (like Boots In The Park in Albuquerque), stick to Ticketmaster or the official festival sites. Resale prices are already hitting the $500 range.
- Listen to the "Long Bed" Version: If you haven't heard the F-1 Trillion: Long Bed edition, go find it. It contains the solo versions and extra tracks that really highlight the songwriting before the stadium production takes over.
- Prepare for 2026: While a return to the Alamodome hasn't been inked for the next calendar year yet, Posty is heavily booked for the festival circuit. If you want that stadium experience again, keep an eye on his official "Shows" page, as he’s been adding dates sporadically.
