The bearded, man-bunned, face-tattooed 22-year-old that was a guy virtually no one had heard of just three years ago, is now easily one of the most successful artists that has fallen into the white-rapper category. But much more impressively, he may well be the most-loved mainstream music artist on the planet among young people.
His Dallas, TX show on June 14, 2018 had 3 openers consisting of Paris, SOB X BRE and 21 Savage. While those openers gave decently good performances (with the exception of 21 Savage feeling under the weather,) when Post came on, it reminded everyone why we waited in such hot and sweat producing weather.

With only two albums in his collection to work with — 2016's "Stoney" and 2018's "Beerbongs & Bentleys" — he had the perfect opportunity to play just about every one of his songs. Without a live band or even backup dancers on stage, it's totally up to him to keep everyone's' attention, and he definitely did. Anyone who comes to a Post Malone concert and hopes to hear all of his hits performed very well live will not leave disappointed. He puts 120% into his performance and keeps you involved. Not to mention it's not every day that you see an artist play an acoustic guitar with such elegance one minute and the next jump back into rapping about beerbongs and Bentleys. Because of this greatness, Post is one of those incredibly rare artists who can bring out the most from both hood rap fans as well as angsty teens from the suburbs.

I would 100% recommend anyone make sure to attend a Post Malone concert at least once in their life. You gotta love a man that has a ball performing, admits he's "too fat to be doing this" and continues to say "thank you" after every song.
