The 28 year old rapper, who went viral back in 2015 after the release of a song titled, “White Iverson,” was previously an opening act for Justin Bieber’s Purpose World Tour. The “Congratulations” singer is set to take the stage in Canada over the next few days and will continue the North American leg of the tour until the end of August.

Post Malone’s setlist includes:

  • Better Now

  • I Like You (A Happier Song) featuring Doja Cat

  • Rockstar featuring 21 Savage

  • Feeling Whitney

  • Congratulations featuring Quavo

  • White Iverson

Post Malone merch: Here’s what you can buy

Post Malone’s merch for the “Austin” album is available via his website. With prices ranging from $10 to $45, you have the choices of t-shirts, CDs, vinyl records, cassettes and a downloadable digital album. And, if you’re a serious Post Malone enthusiast, you might want to consider purchasing a limited edition, Post Malone-themed cup from your nearest Raising Cane’s.
