Live Nation has canceled the first month of the Post Malone/Jelly Roll tour, which included a stop at Baylor University.
WACO, Texas — A concert featuring Post Malone and Jelly Roll at Baylor’s McLane Stadium has been canceled, the university has confirmed to 6 News.
Baylor University told 6 News that Live Nation has canceled the entire first month of Post Malone and Jelly Roll’s BIG Stadium Tour Part 2, which included a show at McLane Stadium on May 19.
The concert was part of a series of live music events at Baylor as the university works to turn Waco into a live music destination.
“We were obviously disappointed to receive this news from Live Nation,” Baylor Vice President and CMO Jason Cook said in a statement. “The combination of Post Malone and Jelly Roll certainly brought a lot of excitement and attention to Waco, but be assured we are already working on future concert options for McLane Stadium. With Willie Nelson coming to Baylor Ballpark May 14, Old Dominion on sale for a Family Weekend concert on Sept. 18 and more announcements in the works, our concert calendar will continue to be full with national-level entertainers.”
The tour was planned to make stops at many high-profile college stadiums across the U.S., including Iowa State’s Jack Trice Stadium, LSU’s Tiger Stadium, Ole Miss’s Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and many more.
Post Malone shared in a story on Instagram that he made the decision to push the tour back three weeks in order to finish a new album.
“I’m so sorry to the folks who were planning on coming to the few canceled shows,” Post Malone said in the story.
