Post Malone Stops Traffic in Times Square to Deliver Surprise Performance

Post Malone surprised Times Square tourists Tuesday afternoon (July 18) with a performance right in the heart of New York City.

The Grammy-nominated star has become the first artist to ever perform at the brand new TSX stage, which is nestled in the bustling streets of Midtown. Pedestrians swarmed the perimeter after they saw a high police presence and a mysterious countdown ticker plastered onto the side of a building. Once the countdown clock ran out at roughly 5:30 pm, Posty took the stage.

Walking through the LED doors, Malone, with his guitar in tow, beamed radiantly at the crowd below his feet before launching into his first song, his new single, “Overdrive.” According to Billboard, his serenade halted traffic. Several street-dwellers stopped to see his rock-laden efforts.

“I’m so happy the rain cleared up so we can hang out, ladies and gentlemen,” Malone told the thousands of New York residents crowded around the stage. “I just wanted to say to everybody who came to hang out I’m so grateful and so very honored to be kicking this off. This is the coolest venue in the f--king universe. I’m super nervous and super happy you guys came out.”

During the 18-minute set, he performed "Circles," "Sunflower," "Chemical," and "Congratulations." He also guided fans through an unreleased single called "Enough Is Enough."  “I love you, New York City,” said Malone before sending his final heart. “Thank you so much for hanging out with me tonight. I hope y’all have a great day. Stay safe, keep spreading love, keep being your beautiful selves, and keep kicking ass, ladies and gentlemen.”

Malone's performance comes just before he is set to drop his 17-track record Austin, which is due July 28.
