Post Malone & Jelly Roll Bring The BIG ASS Stadium Tour to Iowa

Post Malone and three-time Grammy winner Jelly Roll are bringing The BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2 to MidAmerican Energy Field at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa on Friday, July 17, 2026, at 7:30 PM. Rising country star Carter Faith opens the show for what promises to be the biggest concert event in Iowa all summer. With a capacity of 61,500, this legendary venue will transform into the ultimate destination for fans across the Midwest.

The tour announcement came just one day after Jelly Roll's historic night at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, where he captured three trophies including Best Contemporary Country Album for Beautifully Broken, Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Amen" with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song. Combined with Post Malone's show-stopping tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the same ceremony—performing "War Pigs" alongside Slash and Duff McKagan—these two artists enter the 2026 touring season riding incredible momentum.

Jack Trice Stadium: Iowa's Premier Concert Venue

Jack Trice Stadium is home to the Iowa State Cyclones and holds the distinction of being the only Division I FBS stadium named after an African American—Jack Trice, Iowa State's first African American athlete. Located at 1800 South 4th Street in Ames, the stadium opened in 1975 and currently holds 61,500 fans, making it the second-largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference.

The venue has a proud history of hosting legendary concerts. In the late 20th century, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Genesis, and U2 all performed at the stadium. After a hiatus of over two decades, live music made a grand return when George Strait, Chris Stapleton, and Little Big Town performed to a sold-out crowd. Now, Post Malone and Jelly Roll continue that tradition with The BIG ASS Stadium Tour. The stadium is part of the Iowa State Center complex, adjacent to Hilton Coliseum.

The Record-Breaking Tour Returns

The original BIG ASS Stadium Tour in 2025 became one of the most successful tours in recent memory, drawing over one million fans across North America and grossing more than $170 million. The chemistry between Post Malone and Jelly Roll proved electric, creating unforgettable collaborative moments and surprise song mashups that had audiences on their feet. Produced by Live Nation, Part 2 continues Post's highest-attended and best-selling tour to date.

The production features state-of-the-art LED displays, pyrotechnics, and Post Malone's signature floating stage element that carries him over the audience during emotional ballads like "Circles." The Ames show brings this massive stadium experience to the heartland, giving fans across Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, and the surrounding states an unforgettable summer night.

Two Genre-Defying Superstars Unite

Post Malone (Austin Richard Post) is a nine-time diamond-certified global superstar whose genre-blending sound has redefined modern music. His 2024 country album F-1 Trillion featured collaborations with Tim McGraw, Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, and Chris Stapleton. His hit "Sunflower" became the highest-certified single in RIAA history, achieving double diamond status—the first song ever to do so. Follow @postmalone on Instagram.

Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) has emerged as Nashville's most compelling voice, with his journey from incarceration to Grammy winner representing one of music's most inspiring comeback stories. His debut country album Whitsitt Chapel achieved the biggest country debut in Billboard consumption chart history. Follow @jellyroll615 on Instagram.

What Is The BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2?

The BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2 is the highly anticipated continuation of Post Malone and Jelly Roll's record-breaking 2025 stadium tour. The original tour drew over one million fans and grossed more than $170 million, making it one of the most successful tours in recent memory.
