Muscadine Bloodline Suspends Fall Tour to Join Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion Tour
Muscadine Bloodline, an indie country duo from Alabama, has made a significant career decision that has reshaped its immediate performance schedule. Gary Stanton and Charlie Muncaster announced that they will be opening for Post Malone on his highly anticipated F-1 Trillion Tour, which kicks off this weekend on September 8-9 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Consequently, they have decided to suspend their own fall tour dates that were initially scheduled for September and October, citing this as a “life-changing opportunity” for the duo.
Details of the Opportunity
The invitation to join Post Malone’s tour marks a pivotal moment for Muscadine Bloodline. In their official statement shared on social media, the duo expressed their excitement about the chance to perform in major venues across the country, such as Nissan Stadium and Fenway Park. They acknowledged the significance of this opportunity, stating, “In our 9 years of doing this, we would have never dreamed of an opportunity like this. To tour the country with one of the biggest artists in the world for his entire tour is something we have to do.”
Muscadine Bloodline, recognized for their honky-tonk style and guitar-driven sound, hopes that this tour will introduce them to a broader audience. The duo’s latest album, “The Coastal Plain,” which was released in August, features tracks that highlight their Southern roots and musical style. They reassured fans that while they must suspend their scheduled performances, they still plan to make a mark in the live music scene.
Impact on the Fall Tour Schedule
As a result of this significant career move, Muscadine Bloodline’s initial headlining tour has been put on hold. The duo had intended to perform shows in states like Iowa and Minnesota this month but expressed regret over having to cancel on such short notice. They stated, “As difficult as it is to let some of y’all down on short notice (especially this weekend in Iowa and Minnesota), to be asked by Post Malone is an opportunity we simply couldn’t pass up.”
For fans who purchased tickets for the canceled shows, the band promised that they would be prioritized in future touring plans. Attendees should expect information regarding refunds from their point of purchase.
Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion Tour Overview
Post Malone’s tour is centered around his new country album, “F-1 Trillion,” that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and made an impressive mark on various charts, including country and streaming album lists. The album features 18 tracks, all of which entered the Billboard Hot 100, indicative of its popularity. Collaborations with prominent country artists such as Hank Williams Jr., Lainey Wilson, and Morgan Wallen contribute to the album’s broad appeal, making the F-1 Trillion Tour a highly anticipated event for fans of diverse musical backgrounds.
The tour promises to take the duo to numerous locations, with two Alabama dates included: Oak Mountain Amphitheatre on October 15 and the Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach on October 17. Tickets for these shows are still available through Live Nation and Ticketmaster, with resale options as well.
Looking Ahead for Muscadine Bloodline
Despite the reshuffling of their tour plans, Muscadine Bloodline has confirmed they will still perform at the Redbull Jukebox in Nashville on October 2, and the planned November shows for The Coastal Plain Tour remain intact. This offers the duo a chance to sustain their fan engagement while embracing the unique opportunity that comes with touring alongside one of the biggest names in the music industry.
Stanton and Muncaster have continually emphasized the importance of their fans throughout their career, stating, “We are praying for grace and understanding from y’all because you have supported us this far. From day one, we’ve always strived to make being a part of Muscadine Bloodline a family, and this opportunity proves that anything is possible.”
Conclusion on Their Journey
For Muscadine Bloodline, sharing the stage with Post Malone is not only a tremendous career milestone but a significant leap in their journey as independent artists. With a burgeoning fanbase and a fresh album under their belt, the duo appears poised to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As they gear up for the F-1 Trillion Tour, fans and fellow artists alike are eager to see what lies ahead for this talented Alabama duo.
Muscadine Bloodline and Post Malone are excited to start a new adventure, and they want everyone to join them for a fun musical experience this fall.
