American singer-songwriter Post Malone is scheduled to make his Atlantic Canadian concert debut in August 2026 at YQM Country Fest in Dieppe, N.B. The 30-year-old, known for his R&B, hip-hop and pop sounds, recently shifted to country music when he released his sixth studio album F-1 Trillion in 2004. The album features several duets, including collaborations with country music superstars Black Shelton and Morgan Wallen – both have played YQM in the past. Post Malone is currently touring in Europe, but earlier this year he played the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The May 26 concert date was his only Canadian stop as part of his recent North American tour. One of Post Malone’s special guests on tour was Jelly Roll, who headlined YQM on Friday, Aug. 22. YQM Country Fest takes place on the MusiquArt Site grounds near Dieppe City Hall. The annual event welcomes about 20,000 people to the venue for the three-day concert. The festival just wrapped up its fourth year, as plans already begin for 2026. Festival organizers announced next year’s headliners over the weekend, joining Post Malone will be Zach Top, known for his 90s country sounds, along with Eric Church who brings a blend of southern rock and outlaw country to every stage he performs on. Zach Top will kick off the festival on Thurs. Aug 27, followed by Eric Church on Fri. Aug 28., with Post Malone wrapping up the 2026 lineup on Sat. Aug 29. Opening acts and additional performers have yet to be announced. Three day passes for the 2026 YQM Country Fest went on sale Monday morning.
