Birmingham — Post Malone canceled his Protective Stadium concert Friday, announcing via an Instagram story that he will delay the start of his 'Big Ass Stadium Tour' to finish new music; the tour had been scheduled to begin May 13 in El Paso and included early dates such as May 19 at Baylor's McLane Stadium in Waco. Venues and ticketing platforms confirmed cancellations and refund processes this week: the Birmingham-Jefferson Civic Complex and Ticketmaster said refunds will be issued to original payment methods within weeks. Outlets report the tour has been pushed back about three weeks and is now expected to begin June 9 in Charlotte, with six early dates removed from the schedule.
