Can you imagine being hanging around in Times Square and suddenly Post Malone starts performing? Well, that’s exactly what happened last July 18, 2023, when some lucky people saw Post appearing at the TSX stage in the middle of New York, becoming the first artist to ever perform on that stage.
A mysterious countdown ticker plastered onto the side of a building in times Square, where some passersby walked by unbothered, while others were intrigued, wondering what could happen next. Around 5:30 p.m., Post made his way onto the stage with his guitar in hand.
While thousands of people crowded, he presented himself as Austin Richard Post, hoping everyone was having a beautiful day and thanked people for being there. He also said the venue was the coolest in the universe, expressed how nervous but happy he was, and how honored he felt thanks to all the people attending his pop-up concert.
He started performing his latest single Overdrive and kept singing until his famous single Circles. As he previously stated, he sang an unreleased song from his anticipated album which will be released on July 28, Enough is Enough.
