Background and development

On July 15, 2019, the rapper announced he would be going on tour again after he wrapped up the Beerbongs & Bentleys Tour on August 25, 2019. The tour featured the second annual Posty Fest in Arlington, and appearances at music festivals in Las Vegas and New Orleans. Swae Lee and Tyla Yaweh were announced as opening acts.^[2][3]

A concert film showcasing the tour titled Post Malone: Runaway was released exclusively on Amazon Freevee on August 12, 2022.

Reception

Jessica Shalvoy of Variety praised Post Malone for their efforts during his show at Ingelwood, quoting that "destroying a guitar and pouring out two solo cups of what we can assume is Bud Light, finishing off his hit “Rockstar” — and fully living up to the title."^[5]
