Post Malone Goes Country (Again): Second Country Album Teased at Coachella 2025

Hold onto your Stetsons, folks – Post Malone is riding back into the country music sunset, and this time, he’s bringing the whole rodeo with him.

During a stripped-back set at Coachella 2025, Post Malone surprised fans with more than just acoustic renditions of his hits – he teased that a second country album is officially in the works. In an exclusive interview with Billboard, the genre-blending superstar confirmed he’s fully leaning into his country era, with studio time already underway and a possible release later this year.

From Hip-Hop Maverick to Honky-Tonk Hero

Now, if you only know Post Malone from his hip-hop bangers like Rockstar or Sunflower, you might be raising an eyebrow. But longtime fans know that Posty has always had a soft spot for twangy guitars and heartfelt storytelling. His 2023 album, Austin, hinted at a sonic shift — ditching trap beats for real instruments, heartfelt lyrics, and a DIY vibe that leaned more folk-rock than rap.

Let’s not forget earlier genre experiments: Hollywood’s Bleeding (2019) dabbled in goth-pop and alt-rock, while Twelve Carat Toothache (2022) was his moodiest and most genre-hopping project to date. So really, going full country? It’s just another chapter in Posty’s musical choose-your-own-adventure.

Coachella 2025: Cowboy Hats, Acoustic Guitars & New Tunes

At Coachella 2025, instead of the usual pyrotechnics and Auto-Tune theatrics, Malone walked onstage with nothing but an acoustic guitar and a beer (classic). He performed a mix of fan favourites, including “Circles” and “Feeling Whitney,” but it was his unreleased country-flavoured tracks that had the crowd buzzing.

According to Billboard, Malone revealed during the set that he's working on a follow-up to Austin that leans even further into country territory. And while details are still hush-hush, he dropped hints about collaborations with current country heavyweights – a dream lineup for fans of genre mashups.

So, What Can We Expect?

Based on the vibes from Coachella and his recent musical direction, fans can expect a Post Malone country album that’s honest, melodic, and likely full of both heartbreak anthems and beer-chuggin’ bangers. With his gravelly voice and gift for hooks, it’s a surprisingly natural fit.

No official release date yet, but if history repeats, we’ll likely hear a few singles teased on TikTok or during surprise performances. And trust us – we’ll be keeping our ears to the ground (and the crates) for any exclusive vinyl pressings.

Final Spin: Posty’s Just Getting Started

At Rockaway Records, we’ve seen a lot of artists reinvent themselves – but few do it as smoothly (or as stylishly) as Post Malone. Whether you're a die-hard fan, a country convert, or just vinyl-curious, keep your eyes peeled for what's next.

And yes – you bet we’ll stock it the minute it drops.
