On August 18, the musician played a concert in the Wuhlheide Berlin Parkbühne. So was his show.
Pressing bass, blazing fire, a stage in the style of an American highway and a world star that enters this stage: Post Malone. In a short-sleeved, striped shirt, a tight jeans and with a belt with an unmistakable buckle, the American rapper steps in front of the 17,000 visitors: inside the Wuhlheide Parkbühne in Berlin. From the first second, he embodies self -confidence like no other and in such a charming way that it seems impossible to only avert the view from him once in the next two hours.

Cowboy boots and pyrotechnics included
With his opener “Texas Tea”, Post Malone hits the peak in the middle of the eardrum. The audience, dressed in many times in the cowboy or cowgirl style, welcomes the star with thunderous applause and euphoric “Posty, Posty, Posty” calls. Posty, according to the musician’s loving nickname, decides after this brilliant start, the crowd with the hits “Wow.” And to get “better” immediately to operating temperature. Speaking of temperature: this evening nobody will be cold in the capital, less because of the weather, but above all through the mass -used pyrotechnics. Again and again flames shoot from the stage and fireworks into the Berlin evening sky.
What Austin Richard Post brings on stage, according to his bourgeois name, is constantly between hip -hop and country and works amazingly well live. With mega hits such as “Go Flex”, “Hollywood’s Bleeding” and “Circles”, he raps his soul out of his body, while pieces like “Wrong Ones”, “What Don’t Belong to Me” and “Losers” look like a musical journey to the US South States. For “Losers” he brings his support act Jelly Roll back onto the stage and dedicates the song to all those who sometimes feel lost and lonely. However, one thing is certain: Nobody is alone this Monday evening.
Ready for a round line dance?
With the first sounds of “Mexico”, Post Malone then transforms the Wuhlheide into a country saloon, as is otherwise only known from films. Suddenly it tingles the viewer: inside the legs and the crowd tries to line dance. Cowboy boots glow, hats are lifted into the air and the singer performs a country number as it is in the beech.
Over the entire show you can see his passion. Again and again he emphasizes how much he appreciates both his career and his fans. He is not only obvious, but also vulnerable. But he is also completely apart from this confession: for the melancholic song “Feeling Whitney” he stands alone with his guitar on the edge of the stage and for a moment brings an almost sacred calm into the venue. The saloon, in which there is otherwise a lot of smoking and red plastic cups fly through the crowd, tilts into the opposite for a few minutes – thousands of fans listen to the clear, isolated sounds of his voice.
Congratulations for everyone
At the end of his country rap hybrid show, the musician relies on real classics of his repertoire. With “Rockstar”, one of his biggest hits, he really turns up again. An exciting intro flows into a performance, which becomes a spectacle of the extra class through electric guitars, drums and fire, while a flickering light show rounds off the moment.
The conclusion is “Sunflower” and “Congratulations” – two songs that could hardly have been chosen. They are still in the head when the first visitors are already on their way home. But nobody really wants to go that evening, the least post Malone himself. He runs through the crowd for several minutes, takes time for photos, autographs and hugs, while in the background the last tones of the band fade.
So a concert ends between country, rap, pop and hip -hop and there is only one question open: When can you experience such a show again? If you trust your words, it could soon be ready. Because Post Malone knows this evening in the Wuhlheide Parkbühne in Berlin: “The Fucking Germans Know How To Party”.
