Post Malone Kicks Off His F-1 Trillion Tour With a Mix of New and Classic Hits

Post Malone started his highly-anticipated F-1 Trillion Tour with a bang on Sunday night (Sept. 8) in Salt Lake City, Utah. The rapper and singer, known for hits like “Circles” and “Rockstar,” packed his 24-song setlist with both fresh tracks from his latest album F-1 Trillion and fan-favorite classics.

Nearly half of the songs performed were from this new album, showcasing his growth as an artist while also keeping long-time fans happy with throwback hits.

A Heavy Dose of F-1 Trillion

The night began with Post Malone diving straight into new music. He performed “Wrong Ones” and “Finer Things” right off the bat, two tracks from F-1 Trillion that fans were eager to hear live.

These songs set the tone for the evening, blending emotional lyrics with Post’s signature mix of hip-hop and pop melodies. This was just the start, as 12 of the 27 songs on his setlist were from F-1 Trillion or its deluxe version.

Post Malone’s decision to lean so heavily on new material shows his confidence in this album, which premiered at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart only last month. The F-1 Trillion Tour is more than just a concert; it’s an introduction to the next chapter of his career.

The Power of New Hits and Deep Cuts

Post Malone didn’t stop at just the popular singles. He also dove deep into the new album with lesser-known tracks like “Go to Hell,” “California Sober,” and “Yours.”

These songs provided a more intimate experience for fans, showcasing his versatility as an artist and his ability to blend genres.

One of the biggest surprises of the night was how smoothly the new songs fit alongside his older hits. Tracks like “Guy for That” and “What Don’t Belong to Me” were received with just as much enthusiasm as “Better Now” and “White Iverson.”

This balance between old and new gave the concert a unique flow that kept fans engaged from start to finish.

The Importance of Emotional Connection

One of Post Malone’s strengths as a performer is his emotional connection with the audience. Whether he’s performing a high-energy anthem like “Rockstar” or a slow ballad like “Stay,” you can feel the emotion in his voice and see it in his movements.

During “I Fall Apart,” one of his most emotional songs, the crowd sang along in unison, creating a powerful moment of connection between Post and his fans.

The theme of emotional vulnerability carried over into the new tracks as well. Songs like “Fallin’ in Love” and “Who Needs You” from F-1 Trillion show Post Malone’s willingness to explore deeper themes like heartbreak, self-doubt, and personal growth.

This made the concert feel more like a journey through his life and career, rather than just a series of performances.

No Major Collaborators, But Still a Full Show

Despite featuring several duets on F-1 Trillion, Post Malone performed solo for the opening night in Utah. Fans may have expected some surprise guest appearances, especially since Post now lives near Salt Lake City, but he didn’t bring out any of his major collaborators. Instead, he handled all of the duets himself, showcasing his range as a performer.

One track where this was especially noticeable was “I Had Some Help,” a song that features heavy collaboration on the album. Even without the original artists by his side, Post Malone delivered a strong performance, proving that his stage presence is powerful enough to carry the songs on his own.

While there were no surprise country covers—a genre Post has toyed with in the past—he stuck to his core sound for the night. This was a bit unexpected, as he has been known to cover country hits during his summer shows. Nevertheless, the crowd didn’t seem to mind, especially since his setlist was packed with so many hits.

Muscadine Bloodline Kicking Off the Night

Opening for Post Malone on the F-1 Trillion Tour is the country duo Muscadine Bloodline. Known for their Southern rock-inspired sound, they helped get the crowd warmed up before Post took the stage.

While the duo’s style is different from Post Malone’s, their energy and charisma made them a great choice to open the show.

Their performance added a nice contrast to the night, introducing some country flair before Post Malone’s genre-blending performance. With dates scheduled through October, fans across the country will have the chance to see both acts live.

Fan Favorites and Chart-Topping Hits

As much as fans loved the new music, Post Malone didn’t forget about his older hits. Songs like “Circles,” “Psycho,” “White Iverson,” and “Congratulations” were some of the biggest crowd-pleasers of the night. These are the songs that helped catapult Post Malone to superstardom, and fans were eager to hear them live once again.

The encore, in particular, left a lasting impression. Post Malone closed the night with “Sunflower,” his chart-topping collaboration with Swae Lee from the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack. The song’s catchy melody and feel-good vibe were the perfect way to wrap up the evening.
