Post Malone will make his Grand Ole Opry debut on August 14th, with Orpy member Brad Paisley extending the invitation for Malone to perform at a star-studded gig.
In a video message posted on social media with the caption, the Opry wrote: “Opry member @BradPaisley is sending out a special question to @postmalone. How’s August 14th sound? https://opryent.co/3StF4m6”
Paisley said in the video clip.“So what I’m about to ask is going to mean a lot to you I think, knowing you and knowing the respect you have for country music, and this journey that you’re embarking on now as a hillbilly singer, which is gonna be massive and remarkable and amazing. Would you like to play the Opry? Come play it with me in August. Total invite, and it’s gonna be the first of many appearances I have a feeling for you. Come experience what it’s like to play the show that started it all. You and I can jam together, and a lot of your friends will be there.”
According to the Opry listing, in addition to Paisley other featured artists will include Lainey Wilson, Vince Gill, John Michael Montgomery, the War and Treaty, and more. Both Paisley and Wilson will appear as guests on Malone’s upcoming F-1 Trillion, with Paisley on the track “Goes Without Saying” and Wilson on “Nosedive.” Malone and Paisley also previously performed Gill’s song “One More Last Chance” at Stagecoach, and Malone delivered a rendition of Montgomery’s “Be My Baby Tonight.”
The Orpy show is set to take place two days before Malone’s F-1 Trillion album release on Aug. 16. The all-star LP also features appearances by Dolly Parton, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Tim McGraw, Billy Strings, and Hank Williams Jr., in addition to the previously released collaborations with Blake Shelton (“Pour Me a Drink“), Luke Combs (“Guy for That“), and Morgan Wallen (“I Had Some Help“).
