Governors Ball Announces 2021 Return With Billie Eilish, A$AP Rocky, Post Malone, and More
After being canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Governors Ball is back with a brand new lineup and venue for 2021. If you were looking forward to spending Sept. 24-26 (which seems to be the official weekend of music festivals coming back) on Randall’s Island, there’s some bad news for you. This year’s festivities (which feature headliners of Billie Eilish, A$AP Rocky, and Post Malone) have been moved to Citi Field in Queens. Dozens of other notable names are on the lineup include Megan Thee Stallion, Phoebe Bridgers, Portugal. The Man, Freddie Gibbs & the Alchemist, Ellie Goulding, Young Thug, and Duck Sauce. It’ll also provide a “new experience” modeled after The Meadows Music and Arts Festival, which apparently allows stages to be closer together to cram a giant fes...
Post Malone Covers Hootie & the Blowfish’s ‘Only Wanna Be With You’ for Pokémon’s 25th Anniversary
Post Malone’s obsession with the ’90s continues. He’s has gone from performing with Ozzy and playing Nirvana songs to covering Hootie & the Blowfish, releasing a cover of the pop-rock outfit’s 1995 hit “Only Wanna Be With You” ahead of his performance at the Pokémon Day 25th-anniversary virtual concert. Officially dubbed the “Pokémon 25 Version,” Post Malone will debut his take on “Only Wanna Be With You” live on Feb. 27, as part of the singer’s setlist for the Pokémon anniversary concert, streaming at 7 p.m. EST / 4 p.m. PST on Feb. 27. The event can be viewed for free on the official Pokémon YouTube and Twitch channels, and on Pokémon’s 25th-anniversary website. Additionally, Pokemon will create a global music celebration dubbed P25 Music, with new tune...
Ozzy Osbourne Unveils ‘It’s a Raid’ Animated Video With Post Malone
Ozzy Osbourne and Post Malone teaming up last year on Osbourne’s Ordinary Man was unexpected, but strangely enough, it worked. Now, an animated video for their “It’s a Raid” arrives almost a year to the day of the album’s release The story behind the song goes back decades. While Osbourne was recording Black Sabbath’s VOL. 4 LP in Los Angeles, Osbourne triggered the home’s security alarm and police surrounded the home, which he said in a 2020 SiriusXM interview, had “piles of marijuana and cocaine. “I’m shouting, ‘IT’S A FUCKIN’ RAIIIIID,’ before hiding the drugs and ingesting cocaine while hiding in one of the home’s bathrooms.” The clip relives that frenzy, with Osbourne and Post Malone at that house, before they lead police through the streets of the city and passing...
Watch Post Malone Cover Black Sabbath and Alice in Chains With Slash, RHCP’s Chad Smith, and More
Bud Light Seltzer’s New Year’s Eve livestream was appropriately headlined by the human incarnation of Bud Light itself, better known as Post Malone. But if fans were expecting Posty to stick with his own tracks, they clearly hadn’t been paying attention to last year. Much like how the Crocs collaborator busted out his own take on Nirvana classics toward the beginning of quarantine, he closed the year with “Rooster” by Alice in Chains and “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. And similarly to how the Nirvana set featured Travis Barker on drums, Malone got some help from his famous friends like Slash, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer (and Will Ferrell lookalike) Chad Smith, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney. The stream also included sets by Steve Aoki, Saweetie, Jack Harlow, and Sebastian Y...

See the full lineup below. Tickets are on sale here. If the festival doesn’t take place in 2021, folks have the option to roll it over to Lollapalooza Sweden in 2022 or they can receive...
Watch Post Malone Smoke Diplo in Beer Pong
In the latest episode of “Post Malone’s Celebrity World Pong League,” the superstar recording artist went head-to-head with none other than Diplo. Post Malone battles his celebrity friends in beer pong in the series, which has also featured The Chainsmokers, Machine Gun Kelly, and Tyga. In the newest episode with Diplo, Shania Twain makes a virtual cameo, telling the two teams that the loser will need to perform a children’s song in many different genres. When Post asks Diplo if he can even sing, the DJ’s partner jokingly says “Baby Shark.” Post Malone then hilariously fired back, “It’s on par with the rest of his music.” What happens next is a series of awkward underhand flips from Diplo, bandwagoning by Twain, and ...
Pop-Punk and Hip-Hop: 2020’s Dynamic Duo
In October, Bad Boy Records’ Machine Gun Kelly topped the Billboard 200 for the first time with his fifth album, Tickets To My Downfall – charting higher with guitar-driven pop-punk songs than he ever had as an emcee. Two weeks later, the top spot on the Hot 100 was secured by “Mood,” a guitar-driven emo-rap song by 24kGoldn and Iann Dior, who have since ruled the chart for most of the last two months. But those feel like only the most prominent tipping points of an unlikely alliance between pop-punk and hip-hop — one that has been everywhere in 2020, bubbling up in recent years to finally reach the forefront of popular music. Once upon a time, hip-hop and punk bubbled out of New York City as parallel movements that intersected often, from Debbie Harry rhyming about Fab Five Fre...

Fleet Foxes Almost Collaborated With Post Malone on a Song for Their New Album
If there’s one thing Post Malone enjoys as much as being the human embodiment of Bud Light, it’s Fleet Foxes (or Nirvana). His fandom is pretty clearly documented in his social media over the years, and he even had J. Tillman (who played drums for the band before transforming into Father John Misty) write “Myself” from last year’s Hollywood’s Bleeding. But while the “White Iverson” singer remains one of the easiest targets in entertainment, it sounds like he almost got to live his dream of being featured on a Fleet Foxes song. “He came by the studio for one day while we were working in L.A. and listened to stuff and was super supportive,” Fleet Foxes singer Robin Pecknold said on RADIO.COM’s New Arrivals. “We didn̵...
Ty Dolla $ign and Post Malone Are Back Together on ‘Spicy’
After going quintuple platinum on 2018’s “Psycho,” Ty Dolla $ign and Post Malone reunited for “Spicy.” The song appears on the former’s new album, the aptly titled Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, out Friday on Atlantic. Whenever clubs reopen, expect to hear this catchy, bouncy track blaring through sound systems. “I keep talking about this new album being all about frequencies. I carefully chose each person that’s on this album based on how each song needed that person’s specific frequency. You know, that magic that only that person could bring to the song,” Ty said in a statement. “And ‘Spicy’ was no different. This song needed Post’s frequency. Plus, we were overdue for another hit after “Psycho.” I’m just grateful that he lent his frequency to this song because we DEFINITELY got another one on...
Rick Astley Shares Acoustic Cover of Post Malone’s ‘Better Now’
Rick Astley has returned with a new cover but from an unlikely source. While he’s given fans a solid rendition of the Foo Fighters’ “Everlong,” the ’80s pop-singer-turned-viral-sensation took on Post Malone’s “Better Now,” off the ubiquitous artist’s 2018 album, Beerbongs & Bentleys. “So there are a lot of words in this song,” Astley admitted, adding, “It’s not my song. I don’t really know it properly, but I love it. So I’m going to give it a go. Let’s see what happens.” Whether it actually is the number of lyrics that he needs to get through or the quicker tempo he’s performing at, Astley makes a solid effort and even shows a bit more of a rasp in his voice, compared to the smooth pop vocals his fans are used to. Astley has also covered “Titanium” by David Guetta featuring Sia. Last y...
Travis Barker on Having His Own Label and Covering Nirvana With Post Malone
Almost everyone saw (or at least heard about) the livestream where Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker teamed up with Post Malone to pay homage to Nirvana in a rousing 75-minute set that, by some estimates, raised nearly $3 million for coronavirus related charities. Barker has, in his own words, been thriving during quarantine. “As far as quarantine I can just focus and create. I’ve been very productive and just been on one,” he told SPIN last week when we spoke to him by phone as he traveled from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City on his bus for a week-long songwriting session with Malone The drummer has new Blink-182 music coming in the next two weeks; he has been busy at work producing the new Machine Gun Kelly album, Tickets To My Downfall; he signed jxdn, the first artist to his new DTA imprin...
