Post Malone headlined the final night of the Stagecoach festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. His performance featured a mix of songs from his country album 'F-1 Trillion' and country-style renditions of his earlier hits. The set included
tracks like 'Pour Me a Drink' and 'I Had Some Help,' with guest appearances by Shaboozey, Jake Worthington, and Braxton Keith. Malone also performed covers of country classics, including Toby Keith's 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.'
