Post Malone played an entire set of classic country cover songs at Stagecoach Festival last night (April 27) – check out footage below.
The artist was appearing on night two of the annual country festival, and he had sent out a phone number beforehand, asking for requests for songs that he could perform on the night.
The set included a guest showing from Brad Paisley, with whom he duetted on Paisley’s ‘I’m Gonna Miss Her’, as well as Vince Gill’s ‘One More Last Chance’ and Alan Jackson’s ‘Chattahoochee’.

Stagecoach, which is held on the same Indio, California site as Coachella Festival, also saw a surprise appearance from Lana Del Rey this weekend. She joined Paul Cauthen for a version of The Righteous Brothers’ ‘Unchained Melody’.
Post Malone is having a big year, after being the featured artist on ‘Fortnight’, the lead single from Taylor Swift’s all-conquering ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, as well as collaborating with Beyoncé on the track ‘Levii’s Jeans’, from her album ‘Cowboy Carter’.
He has also been teasing his own move further towards the country genre, playing a cover of Hank Willliams’ ‘Honky Tonk Blues’ during a surprise show in Nashville earlier this month.
Back in 2022, Malone told Howard Stern that he had been considering the shift in style. “To be honest, there’s nothing stopping me from taking a camera or setting up in my studio in Utah and just recording a country album and putting it on fucking YouTube,” he said.
In 2021, Post Malone also performed two country covers of songs by Brad Paisley and Sturgill Simpson for the We’re Texas relief fundraiser livestream.
